I can understand folks being concerned. I've donated to them for years....and if you are concerned probably calling Wheeler's Office or your Reps are the way to go.

The Petition asks for Name and E-Mail Address..(didn't see it ask for your home address) so it's less info than some other petitions I've seen.

But, agree ...that those with privacy concerns should read their full statement and judge for themselves. Probably safer than FACEBOOK ....it depends on one's comfort level.

Thanks for Asking.
