Target: Congress
Region: United States of America
Background (Preamble):
Hollywood continues to portray CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) incorrectly. The influence of movies in today's societies has real impacts. The percentage of people performing CPR incorrectly is known to be alarmingly high, it has been suggested this is partially due to movies. When various movies were examined by a doctor it was found that a high percentage portrayed the revival method incorrectly.
As movies are large role models for today's society it is fundamentally important that we ensure simple life saving procedures are performed correctly.

Petition:
