RADAR ALERT:
Stop the Lies! Say ‘NO’ to HRES 590!

Rep. Ted Poe of Texas recently introduced a resolution on domestic violence in the U.S. House of Representatives. This is probably the most misleading, biased, and untruthful bill on domestic violence ever introduced in the House.

The resolution has 23 claims – 18 of them are one-sided, misleading, or simply false. One of the claims is a factoid from nowhere. You can see the resolution and RADAR’s analysis here: http://www.mediaradar.org/docs/RADARanalysis-HRES590.pdf

The Resolution – known as “HRES 590” – has now been referred to the House Education and Labor Committee for consideration. The chairman of that committee is George Miller. He is the person who decides when – and whether – the Resolution will be brought up for a debate and vote.

The plain and simple truth is, we must stop this before it receives the stamp of approval from the House of Representatives. And we want to do it this week.

We are asking every person who reads this Alert to contact Mr. Miller, three times this week. We want Mr. Miller to receive thousands of messages to stop HRES 590.

You don’t need to write a long letter. All you need to say is, “Stop the Lies! Say ‘NO’ to HRES 590!” Do not be abusive or use foul language.

You can send your message by telephone, e-mail, fax, or a combination of those:

• Telephone: 1-202-225-2095
  
• E-mail: George.Miller@mail.house.gov (In the subject line, type “Say NO to HRES 590”)
  
• Fax: 1-202-225-5609 (In the subject line, type “Say NO to HRES 590”)
  

“Stop the Lies! Say ‘NO’ to HRES 590!”

Do it now. Do it often. Do it politely.

Date of RADAR Release: September 4, 2007
