Stop Corruption First

Every day we hear about new congressional scandals. The corruption scandals have opened a window to push for real reform with teeth. Don't let Congress get away with ignoring their rules. Send a message that you want them to stop corruption first by signing our petition calling for tough new legislation to fix and enforce ethics rules and rein in lobbyists. The plan is to deliver the petitions to Congress the day they begin their 2006 work.

"As the first order of business Congress should pass an anti-corruption law to rein in lobbyists, toughen ethics rules, create an independent entity to enforce the rules and get serious about public financing of elections."

A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to your representative when you click the button below. Your Name E-mail Your Street Address City State Zip Your message to your representative: (optional) (see privacy policy below) TO: Your representative FROM: (Your Name and Email) SUBJECT: Stop Corruption First __________ Dear Rep. [X], (Your personal note) As the first order of business Congress should pass an anti-corruption law to rein in lobbyists, toughen ethics rules, create an independent entity to enforce the rules and get serious about public financing of elections.

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.
