Last year the Enron Political Action Committee (PAC) launched a campaign to=
=20
become a "million dollar PAC". Enron employees, who provide all of the=20
funding for the PAC, responded and the Enron PAC reached its objective,=20
becoming one of the largest corporate PACs. This year we face a new=20
challenge. With the sale of EOG, the announced sale of PGE and normal=20
employee turnover, we have lost a significant number of consistent=20
contributors. We are seeking your support. If you are not a member, pleas=
e=20
join. If you are a member, we hope you will consider increasing your=20
contribution.

The Enron PAC is an essential tool in our effort to promote sound public=20
policy. Our PAC funds support local, state and federal candidates, of both=

track record of supporting and advancing good public policy. That track=20
record depends on access to and regular communication with, decision makers=

The PAC provides that access - - it shows policy makers that real voters ca=

One of the best things about Enron is that we don=01,t just take things as =
they=20
are. We challenge the status quo. We ask why. We change things. The PAC=
=20
helps us do that. We need you to help the PAC. Sign up today - and please=
