Official Policy on Social Media

by Congressman Bobby L. Rush on Tuesday, June 14, 2011 at 7:20am ·

Thank you for visiting the Official Facebook Page of United States Representative Bobby L. Rush (IL-01).  We’re happy that you chose to join us in this shared space that allows you to see how Congressman Rush is working for the people of Illinois’ First Congressional District.  This page also gives you the opportunity to participate in discussions with fellow members and share your questions, suggestions, comments, and concerns with the Congressman.

 

It is our hope that you will use this page as a valuable resource.  Congressman Rush’s staff will respond to constituent questions that relate to:

  • How to contact either our Washington or district offices for help with constituent matters.
  • Where information can be located on Congressman Rush’s website.
  • When and where Congressman Rush will be visiting or doing interviews or events that you can watch.
  • Events that Congressman Rush will be hosting either in Illinois or in Washington, DC.

And as a reminder, because this page is sponsored by the United States House of Representatives, federal law prohibits any comments that are obscene or related to elections (either of Congressman Rush or any other candidates).  Any discussion of this kind will be deleted.  Posts will be removed if they violate the guidelines listed below:

  • No graphic, obscene, explicit, or racial comments or submissions.  We also do not allow comments that are abusive, hateful, or intended to harass or defame anyone or any organization.
  • No solicitations or advertisements.  This includes promotion or endorsement of any financial, commercial, or non-governmental agency.  Similarly, we do not allow attempts to harass, defame, or defraud any financial, commercial, or non-governmental agency.   No comments or photos that suggest or encourage illegal activity.
  • No discussion of or political endorsements for any candidate or political activity at any level of government.
  • You participate at your own risk, taking personal responsibility for your comments, your username and any information provided.
  • Lastly, the appearance of external links on this site does not constitute an official endorsement on behalf of Congressman Rush, the United States House of Representatives, the United States Congress, or the United States Government.

Thank you again and we look forward to hearing your comments!
