How do we protect your information?
Our web site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your information in our database. However, while we make good faith efforts to store information collected in a secure operating environment, we cannot guarantee complete security.

Finally, we may disclose personally identifiable information when required by law or when we have a good faith belief that release is appropriate to protect our rights or property, or to protect our donors and supporters from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct.

We treat your name, city, state, and any comments as public information. We may make comments along with your city and state available to the press and public online. We will not make your postal or email address publicly available, but we may share this information with the recipients of these petitions and thereafter the recipient may make these petitions public.
