Make a Pledge to Stop the Bankruptcy Reform Giveaway

Our Progress So Far

So far, we've pledged $576,402.11.

This week Congress will vote on changes to bankruptcy laws sought by big credit card companies and the radical Republican leadership that goes right after families—giving credit card companies and other creditors more ways to seize your home, your car and other assets if you get into financial trouble. It is important to show representatives who are on the fence that there are serious consequences for hurting Americans in order to help the nation's credit card companies.

This is an important action because a big "Pledge Fund" will send a signal to members of Congress before they vote that there could be consequences for their actions. We'll e-mail you after the vote with our plan for ads and to let you know how much money we think should be spent.

SAMPLE Radio Ad, "Do you have a friend in Tom DeLay?"

They worked hard. They saved.

They had health insurance. Then a medical emergency and the bills started to pile up. Now they're facing bankruptcy.

Last year, half the personal bankruptcies in America were ordinary working people with extraordinary medical debt.

You'd think Congress would've helped them. You'd think Tom DeLay would've helped them. Think again.

Tom DeLay just voted for a bankruptcy law practically written by the credit card companies and the banks. Tom DeLay got $620,000 in contributions from those people. The new law won't make it tougher for companies like Enron and WorldCom. But the law will make it harder for decent people to get financial relief. It will burden hard-working people with more debt.

Face it. The banks and the credit card companies sure have a friend in Tom DeLay.

Do you?

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.
