So my beers been in primary for 2 weeks. I checked it last week and I was at 1.030. Checked it again today and it's still at 1.030. I'm thinking my yeast tapped out. This is my first batch, anyone have any suggestions?

It's California ale yeast. Temps are around 66-68. Starting gravity was 1.050 and I'm using a hydrometer. Just checked it an it's reading right.
ok sorry a long weekend got in my way, but im back on track now. this is an extract recipe, off the top of my head i dont remember the recipe but it had 2 cans of LME in it. when i aerated the wort, i poured it back and for between the bucket and pot a bunch of times. i think my best bet is to repitch. when i do that, do i stir the yeast back in? i dont want to oxidize any thing.
If you are using dry yeast, rehydrate the yeast in about two cups of warm (80 degree or so) for 15 minutes. Then pour it into your beer. You do not need to stir, but you can stir gently (NO SPLASHING!) Usually I give 1 or 2 gentle swirls with a spoon, being careful not to over - agitate the beer.
