When you contribute money online:
Federal law requires us to collect and report
your name, address, employer, occupation,
and the amount of your contribution. If the
contribution is made by credit card, federal
law requires us to collect and report your
credit card number as well.
Federal law requires us to use our best efforts
to collect and report to the Federal Election
Commission the name, mailing address, occupation
and name of employer of individuals whose
contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year.
These records are available to the public.
However, they cannot be used by other organizations
for fundraising. For additional information,
visit the FEC web site at http://www.fec.gov.
We also make a note of your telephone number
and e-mail address, if you choose to provide
them, but you are not required to do so. Doing
so helps us because then we can use your telephone
number and e-mail address to quickly contact
you if follow-up on your contribution is necessary
under federal election law.
In addition to the requirement to report
contributions to the Federal Election Commission,
we may, in accordance with Federal election
law, exchange our contributor list with successor
organizations, and with other like-minded
Democratic candidates and organizations. We
will not sell or exchange your credit card
information to any other third party under
any circumstances.

contribute online via our website and contribute
by mail to contact you for other purposes
or to solicit you for additional contributions.

How we protect your information:
Our web site has security measures in place
to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration
of the information under our control. Our
server is located in a locked, secure environment.
When you contribute online, we use a secure
server and SSL to protect your credit card
number and other personal information during
the transmission. SSL is short for Secure
Sockets Layer, a protocol developed by Netscape
for secure transmission of private information
over the Internet. SSL works by using a private
key to encrypt data that are transmitted over
the SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator
and Internet Explorer browsers support SSL,
and web sites use SSL when users transmit
confidential information such as credit card
numbers. Web pages that require an SSL connection
start with https: instead of http. SSL uses
128 bit encryption within the United States.
For more information on SSL, please visit
the Netscape web site: http://home.netscape.com/security/techbriefs/ssl.html
In addition we use Paypal Bank as our online
depository for your contributions, we accept
bank transfers, credit cards, debit cards,
eChecks and other methods, please use the

server is https://paypal.com.

protect the privacy of your personal information,
such as safeguarding your passwords and logging
off the Web site after viewing or submitting
personal information, are equally important.
