TrueMajority was started in order to
compound the power of all those who believe in social justice, giving children a decent start in life, protecting the environment, and America working in cooperation with the world community. TrueMajority is endorsed by many organizations, listed at the bottom of their main page.
If you want to be a part of this movement, just
fill out the form on their main page to the right, and they'..'s free. Here's how TrueMajority works:
* They monitor what's going on in Washington based on the principles of peace, justice, and sustainability.
* When your voice counts, they send you a short e-mail alert that explains the situation.
* If you choose to send a free fax to your Congresspeople, just click "Reply" and then "Send." Their technology will generate a fax from you to your Congresspeople. That's it.
There are over 50 million of us who share these concerns, but we've ended up fragmenting ourselves because each of us can only concentrate on one or two issues. Or in the case of some of us, we've just felt powerless. TrueMajority has already brought together over 435,000 of us, making us a powerful force in the capital.
We hope you will join us.

TrueMajority was founded by Ben Cohen, Co-founder, Ben and Jerrys. It is a grassroots education and advocacy project of Priorities, Inc., a non-profit, non-partisan, tax-deductible, 501(c)(3) corporation.
Once you register with TrueMajority.org, you can go to their "Take Action" section and instantly send faxes and emails on on the issues we all care about to members of Congress and national leaders. After you register they will also send you e-mail alerts on critical issues.
With one click of a button you can either send their suggested faxes or edit them yourself (and they'll still send them for you.) You are always free not to participate in any specific issue or remove your name from their list.

The same principles that guide TrueMajority also outline the philosophy of
TrueMajorityACTION.
TrueMajorityACTION is a non-profit, but non-tax-deductible 501(c)(4) corporation which has the same social principles, but is legally allowed to engage in electoral campaigning and direct lobbying in partisan ways that are not allowed to tax deductible charities.
TrueMajorityACTION has a political action committee, called TrueMajorityACTION PAC, which collects donations to make direct electoral interventions such as running paid advertisements favoring specific candidates. TrueMajorityACTION PAC is regulated by the Federal Election Commission.
Once you register with TrueMajorityACTION, you are allowed to receive email alerts about electoral campaign issues, activities and events which may only be sent to TrueMajorityACTION members.

very unhappy with you if you post an Add Me bulletin!) Please try to keep all bulletins and message board topics clean and
