[CorpGovActivist]

As the first mainstream media tremors begin to suggest the coming seismic shift in oversight activities on Capitol Hill, we're already beginning to see Congressman Waxman being attacked in certain quarters:

Check out what they're saying about this champion of open government at the RNC: http://www.google.com/search?as_q=waxman&hl=en&num=10&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=gop.org&as_rights=&safe=images

Ways to help Congressman Waxman and his staff:

1. Send a postcard, with a simple, "Attaboy!" to the offices of his committee staff (you'd be surprised how uplifting that can be to Hill staffers): http://oversight.house.gov/contact.asp

2. Send $1 to his campaign committee (even $1 can make a difference; e.g., maybe your buck pays for the postage that reels in a big contributor): http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/com_detail/C00013128

3. Send $1 to the campaigns that his campaign committee supported (surmising that he views them as allies): http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/com_supopp/C00013128/

4. If your local Member of Congress sits on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, contact him/her (regardless of party affiliation), and ask them to explain their stance on the oversight investigation(s) that matter most to you (Halliburton, Katrina, etc.): http://oversight.house.gov/about/members.asp

5. Contact your favorite local, regional, and national media outlets, and ask them to run stories about Waxman's activities, and/or to interview the fine folks at HalliburtonWatch.org: http://www.HalliburtonWatch.org

Best,
