We reserve the right, at our discretion, to update or revise these Terms
of Use. Kindly check the Terms Of Use periodically for changes. Your
continued use of this site following the posting of any changes to the
Terms Of Use constitutes acceptance of those changes. Any page of The Web
Site may itself contain additional terms that further govern use of that
web page, including without limitation, particular features or offers. If
any terms contained in this Agreement conflict with any terms contained
within a page of The Web Site, then the terms in this Agreement will
control the situation.

age of majority in the province or state in which you reside, and that you

that any information that you submit, including but not limited to your
name, email address, mail address, or phone number is correct. You
specifically represent that the name you submit is your correct legal name

sole discretion, be transmitted to those members of Congress you select,
with the express intent that those recipients should have that
information. You agree not to impersonate any other person in using the
functions of The Web Site, nor to enter on behalf of any person or
individual any personal information other than their email address without
their express and separate authorization for each particular instance
thereof, nor to assume multiple identities for yourself so as to have more

have one and only one email address for use related to The Web Site.

make changes to this Agreement therefor. With regard to instances of the
Software linked to from or embedded in other websites THE PEN will provide
reasonable notice of any such termination for reason other than violation
of these Terms Of Use.
5. SUBMISSION OF AUDIO CONTENT AND MESSAGE POSTING
With respect to submission of audio content for broadcast purposes, you
grant us the non-exclusive right to broadcast your submission without
limit in perpetuity, with a display of any artwork, title, website link and
description you submit, together with your name, but not including your
email address. All audio submissions must be your own creation, or you
must have a controlling interest in the production.
With respect to areas of The Web Site which may be designated as action pages,
public posting areas, message boards, chat rooms, or any such like electronic
bulletin boards, for materials you post or otherwise provide to THE PEN
related to The Web Site (a "Submission"), you grant THE PEN permission to
(1) use, copy, copyright, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly
perform, reproduce, edit, modify, translate and reformat your Submission,
each in connection with The Web Site, and to (2) sub-license these rights,
to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. THE PEN will not pay
you for your Submission, and your posting of any such Submission
constitutes a full and entire granting and transfer of rights in and to
the Submission for all purposes and mediums, whether in existence now or
in the future. You hereby grant THE PEN and its affiliates and licensees
the right to use, reproduce, display, perform, adapt, modify, distribute,
have distributed, and promote the content of any Submission in any form,
anywhere and for any purpose.
Moreover, for each Submission, you represent and warrant that you possess
all rights necessary for you to make the grants in this section, that you
own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content of any
Submission within the four corners of the doctrine of fair use pursuant to
copyright law, and that public posting and use of your content by THE PEN
will not infringe or violate the rights of any third party. THE PEN is
not obligated to maintain any Submission and may remove your Submission at
any time.
6. THIRD PARTY SITES
The Web Site may produce automated search results or otherwise provide links
for you to other sites on the Internet. These sites may contain
information or material that some people may find inappropriate or
offensive. These other sites are not under the control of THE PEN, and you
acknowledge that THE PEN is not responsible for the accuracy, copyright
compliance, legality, decency, or any other aspect of the content of such
sites, or changes or updates to such sites. THE PEN is providing these
links to you as a convenience and an educational or informational resource
and the inclusion of any such link does not imply endorsement of the site
by THE PEN or any association with its operators.
In addition to issue action pages on questions THE PEN chooses to address
unilaterally, The Web Site may also host custom issue action pages
created at the request of or proposed by other parties, or provide code to
other sites for like forms that interface over the internet with The Web
Site. All such instances of code are fully encompassed by these terms
and conditions whether those pages are hosted by THE PEN or not. The
continued maintenance of such custom issue action pages is by mutual
agreement, and may be discontinued by THE PEN upon reasonable notice at
its sole discretion.
7. DISTINCTION BETWEEN CONGRESSIONAL AND FRIENDS EMAILS
The Web Site currently is configured to handle two categories and types of
email messages. If you have left any of the check boxes checked next to
your representatives in the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives, or if
that option is not specifically provided, we will attempt to transmit an
email message to them (a "Congressional Email") including your personal
name, address, and phone (if required) information, together with your
comments and position on the question (the "Question") at issue on the
page or form section of the page where you input that information, but
will not include in that message any of the CCs you input as friends'
email addresses. If there are additional administrative agency or policy
maker recipients they will be specified on the form. All such messages
will be processed by THE PEN through the appropriate Internet gateways
maintained by members of the U.S. Congress or otherwise transmitted to
them, and will be submitted either in the background of whatever browser
session you have opened or by one of our servers directly. Where other
recipients are specified on a particular action page such as media outlets
or other policy makers, these messages are handled in the same way as
Congressional Emails.
If you input any friends' email addresses in that input field, we will
additionally format an email message (a "Friends Email") for transmission
by your own email client or ours to these additional email addresses.
Depending on the capability of our email client, some of these addresses
may be included instead in the Friends Email of another user of The Web
Site with preferably, but not necessarily, the same point of view on the
Question. A Friends Email is not intended to, and to the best of our good
faith ability, will not include any personal physical address information,
and will not include any of your personal comments to Congress, but only a
general indicator of your position on the Question, your name and email
address. If your own email client is being used, you will generally have
an opportunity to review the exact text of this outgoing email and agree
to take responsibility for the final act of sending it with your approval.
ATTACHMENTS ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN AND YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE NOT TO ADD ANY
ATTACHMENT TO ANY EMAIL MESSAGE AT THE CLIENT END.
8. PRIVACY CONCERNS
To the extent that the information you input is intended to be transmitted
to third parties you have selected, THE PEN can take no responsibility and
bears no liability for what the recipients may do with that information
after transmission. Whether there is any expectation of privacy in an
email is still an open question. Notwithstanding the foregoing we will
not ourselves intentionally disclose your name, mailing address or phone
number except as specified above, for reasonable cause, or on legitimate
authority as required by law or court order, to parties other than the
congressional representatives, media outlets or other policy makers for
which your messages were intended. With regards the message postings referenced
in section 5 above, we will endeavor to truncate personal names for
public posting purposes, where not included in your personal comments
themselves.
9. OPTING-OUT AND OPTING-IN
If an opt-in checkbox appears on a form linking to The Web Site, you will
not be contacted by us unless that checkbox is checked, or unless required
for verification of the functioning of the system. Otherwise, by your
access and use of The Web Site, you expressly agree and consent to be the
recipient of periodic communications related to The Web Site or for any
other reasonable purpose, at our sole discretion. You are not required to
affirmatively opt-in, but if you do so you may have access to certain
additional special features of The Web Site. If you receive more
communications pursuant to this section than you would like, or would
otherwise wish to impede the transmission of any such messages, you may
affirmatively opt-out using the "Remove Me" link at the top of our main
home page. Anyone who verifies an opt-out request will be precluded from
any further use of The Web Site, unless they affirmatively opt-in from the
adjacent "Opt-In" link there.
Upon receipt of an opt-out request we may act on that directly, or else
send you a verifying email to confirm that you are the authorized person
who controls that email address. Once verified, we will endeavor in good
faith to extract and delete your name and email address from any list we
maintain or submitted by another user of The Web Site. We do not warrant
that we will be successful in preventing the transmission of any messages
to any person after they have opted-out, in particular because other users
of The Web Site may have the opportunity of adding additional CCs, and may
thereby add in again email addresses which our system has extracted in the
handling at the server end, before final transmission by them of a Friends
Email at their client end.
10. USE OF LISTS OF EMAILS
You are hereby advised and put on express notice that any input in the
form of individual email addresses, lists of email addresses, or raw text,
may be transmitted immediately to THE PEN for parsing and database
storage, whether the form containing those input elements is finally
submitted by you or not. In particular we disclose that this is
universally the case with respect to files which you select by a browsing
function or as to any list over a certain size, and you agree that we have
fully authority and your consent to do this. We will endeavor to maintain
an opt-out list in reasonable good faith and to use this list together
with any other list at our sole discretion to attempt remove email
addresses from those you may so provide to (1) prevent transmission of
messages to parties not interested or permitted by us to receive such
transmissions, or (2) to prevent the transmission of multiple messages on
the same topic or question to any party who we may believe has already
received notification of the same. You warrant and represent that any email
addresses you input or submit under this section do not contain, to the
best of your good faith knowledge, the email addresses of anyone who would
object for any reason to the receipt of messages through The Web Site,
either one time or on a regular basis, and expressly grant, delegate and
extend to us whatever authority or consent you have from them to send
emails to any such email address for any purpose.
Depending on the limitations of the email client at your end, or based on
the volume of your submitted list of email addresses, we may at our sole
discretion remove from your outgoing Friends Email any addresses in excess
of a number which we may predetermine, and to add those extra email
addresses instead to the outgoing CCs of other users of The Web Site with
additional available capacity for the purpose of load balancing. We will
endeavor in good faith to match email addresses you submit to outgoing
messages of like position on the Question, but do not warrant we will do
so in all cases.
If there is, and you leave checked, a the check box checked labeled "Yes,
I will accept extra CCs", you hereby give THE PEN your express permission
and consent to add a reasonable number of additional CCs, from any list of
email addresses we maintain or possess, to any outgoing Friends Message
you may create on The Web Site. If you do not wish THE PEN to do so you
must affirmatively uncheck this box when you use The Web Site. If you do
not uncheck this box, you agree to hold us harmless from any cause of
action related to the complaint of any additional CC recipient in this
regard.
11. COMMERCIAL USE OF THE WEB SITE
The Web Site is only for your personal use to express your personal views
on important issues of day. You agree will not use The Web Site for any
commercial purpose, or the promotion of any other product, service or web
site, except by such hyperlinks as we expressly agree to provide for you
on The Web Site. You will not use the Web Site to transmit repeated
messages to any party unless you have a good faith belief they will not
object to such messages, and will immediately refrain from transmitting
any subsequent message to any party through The Web Site on their request.
You will not use The Web Site in any way that is unlawful, or harms THE
PEN, its affiliates, resellers, distributors, service providers and/or
suppliers or any customer, user or intended message recipient, as
determined in THE PEN's sole discretion. Without limiting the generality
of this section, you may not use The Web Site in any manner that could
damage, disable, overburden, or impair The Web Site (or the network(s)
connected to The Web Site) or interfere with any other party's use and
enjoyment of The Web Site.
12. GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND FORUM
These Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules.
You agree that in any legal action or proceeding between you and THE PEN
for any purpose concerning this Agreement, you agree to submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of either the Los Angeles Superior Court or the
United States District Court, Central District of California, as
appropriate based on the cause of action, and you expressly waive all
defenses to jurisdiction.
You and THE PEN agree that any cause of action arising out of or related
to The Web Site must commence within one (1) year after the cause of
action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
Any failure of THE PEN to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any
provision of these Terms Of Use will not be construed as a waiver of any
provision or right. Neither will the course of conduct between the
parties nor trade practice act to modify any provision of these Terms Of
Use. THE PEN may assign its rights and duties under these Terms Of Use to
any party at any time without notice to you.
13. SEVERABILITY AND INTEGRATION
Unless otherwise specified herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between you and THE PEN with respect to The Web Site and
supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals
(whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and THE PEN with
respect to this site. If any part of these Terms Of Use is held invalid or
unenforceable, that portion will be construed in a manner consistent with
applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions
of the parties, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and
effect. The section titles in the Agreement are solely used for the
convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance.
14. INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify, and will indeed indemnify, whether upon request or
without, to defend and hold THE PEN, its officers, owners, directors,
employees, agents, shareholders, licensors, suppliers, business partners
and any third party information providers to The Web Site, its services or
materials from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from your improper use of
any services or materials, your use or misuse of The Web Site, or any
violation of this Agreement by you. THE PEN reserves the right, but
assumes no obligation, to assume at its own expense the exclusive defense
and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in
which event you will cooperate with THE PEN in asserting any available
defenses. The provisions of this paragraph will inure for the benefit of
THE PEN and its officers, owners, directors, employees, agents,
shareholders, licensors, suppliers, business partners and any third party

the use or the inability to use The Web Site, or any claim attributable to
any errors, omissions or other inaccuracies in the service and/or
materials or information obtained on The Web Site. The exclusion of
damages under this section is independent of your exclusive remedy and
survives in the event such remedy fails of its essential purpose or is
otherwise ruled unenforceable. These limitations apply whether the
alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability
or any other basis, to the extent such limitations are not prohibited by
applicable law, even if THE PEN has been advised of the possibility of
such damages. If you are dissatisfied with The Web Site or do not agree
with any part of this Agreement, or if you have any other dispute claim
against THE PEN, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using
and accessing The Web Site.
