We’ll deliver the petitions at events in your district Friday October 14th.

LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE

Dear Representative,

Last week a second grand jury in Texas indicted Republican Leader Tom DeLay on a new set of charges. It’s time to take a stand against the culture of corruption in Washington by joining three other Republican Representatives who have sent back money they received from Tom DeLay.

Four of the most powerful Republican leaders in America, Tom DeLay, Bill Frist, Karl Rove, and Scooter Libby, have either been indicted or are currently undergoing criminal investigation for scandals and corruption. Members of Congress should disassociate themselves from this corruption in the Republican leadership.

Rep. Jeb Bradley (R-NH) returned the money saying he wanted to "remove any question about the nature of the contribution." We’re asking you to do the same. Demonstrate that you work for the voters of our district, not DeLay’s corporate cronies. Send back DeLay’s dirty money.

  This campaign is based solely on word of mouth. It is CRUCIAL that you tell others. To transmit a brief letter to your e-mail circle, just press:

Privacy Policy

We do not share the information you’ve given us with unaffiliated groups without your explicit permission.

Petitions and Surveys

For petitions and surveys you've signed or completed, we treat your name, city, state, and comments as public information—for example, we may provide compilations of petitions, with your comments, to the President and legislators, other targets, or to the press. We will not make your street address publicly available, but we may transmit it to members of Congress and to the President as part of a petition. This is a standard industry practice in such situations. In no such case will we disclose your email address or phone number without your permission. We may also make your comments, along with your first name, city and state available to the press and public online.

Under circumstances where we determine that members may be misusing our systems for malicious purposes (for example, using the numbers we provide to make harassing phone calls), such activities may be reported to law enforcement agencies. In such cases, MoveOn may release personally identifiable information, including name and address, to those agencies.

Sending Emails Via MoveOn.org Political Action

In certain cases, we enable you to send individual e-mails to the President, legislators, and other targets as well as Letters-to-the-Editor to various news publications, through our website. These messages are sent in your name, with your e-mail address as the return address and your full name and contact information is provided as part of the submission. These messages will only be sent out under your name as you approve them on an individual basis using our email tool. You are solely responsible for the specific message(s) you send using our email tool.
