It is each officer’s responsibility to follow these organizational guidelines when using these facilities. These guidelines are designed to prevent use that may be illegal, abusive or adversely impact the Texas Nationalist Movement or its resources and at the same time show what usage is allowable.

1.Security
• Understand the level of security.
• When you send sensitive material electronically, it is important to verify that all recipients are authorized to receive such information. Also ensure the mechanism of transfer is secure. The transfer of sensitive information may prove more secure in written/printed format than through an electronic message.
• No system of communications is completely secure, including e-mail. E-mail messages cannot be sent anonymously. Messages can also be quickly and easily copied and forwarded inappropriately.

ORGANIZATIONAL INFORMATION MUST NOT BE MADE AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET OR ANY EXTERNAL SYSTEM WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT INFORMATION.

2. ACCESS
• Restrict usage to TNM officers and other authorized persons.
• As with all TNM assets, only TNM officers and other authorized persons may use the network to send or view communications. Family members or other unauthorized persons may not use the TNM network.

3. RESPONSIBLE USE
• Maintain professionalism.
• Every TNM officer who uses a Texas Nationalist e-mail address is responsible for ensuring messages are professional and businesslike and have the organizations best interests in mind. As a way to impose personal restraint and professionalism, ASSUME THAT WHATEVER YOU WRITE MAY AT SOME TIME BE MADE PUBLIC.
• Remember that these guidelines apply to personal expressions as well.
• Your responsibility extends beyond confidential or classified information to include personal viewpoints. If messages sent to external sources are taken out of context or misinterpreted, they can have an unplanned and negative impact on the TNM or be misconstrued as official TNM endorsements or statements.
• Do not communicate or store inappropriate content.
• If you want to send a message via e-mail and are unsure about its sensitivity, review the message with a superior officer. Communicating any material which falls into any of the following categories is unacceptable:
1. Any form of a "chain" letter.
2. Sexually explicit or suggestive material, particularly pornographic material that violates applicable law.
3. Material that expresses or promotes discriminatory attitudes based upon religion, gender, age, nationality or other groups.
4. Software used for "hacking" or "cracking" internal or external computer systems such as viruses, mail bombs and the like.
5. Harassment or threats.
6. Business activities unrelated to TNM business.
7. Messages that intentionally misrepresent the identity of the sender.
8. Material that is illegal in other ways.
9. Material that persons of reasonable sensibility may find personally offensive or inappropriate.

REMEMBER, IF YOU WOULDN'T WANT SOMETHING READ BY A TNM OFFICER, THE MEDIA, OR IN A COURT OF LAW -- DON'T WRITE IT.

4. RETENTION
• Don't keep it if you don't need it.
• Be prudent in retaining e-mail messages. Delete unnecessary messages immediately, and review other messages for retention on a periodic basis (preferably, at least once a month). Sensitive information should be printed, stored in printed format and then be removed from the computer system.

5. Checking Email & Messages
You are required to check your email on a frequent and consistent basis to ensure you are staying current with all official communications, some of which are time-sensitive.

Headings. Section headings are provided in this Agreement for convenience only and shall not be deemed to substantively alter the content of such sections.

I am 18 years of age or older.

I recognize and appreciate any dangers and risks inherent in volunteering for TNM activities.

I am submitting this release and waiver of liability declaration voluntarily and of my own free will.

I have no physical or emotional problems, nor any history thereof, which will impair my ability to volunteer for the Texas Nationalist Movement.

I hold harmless and agree to indemnify the Texas Nationalist Movement, its officers, directors, employees, agents and volunteers from all claims, liability, and damages I may sustain from any bodily injury, personal injury or property damage which may occur from any cause, including negligence, before, during or after any Texas Nationalist Movement event in which I participate as a volunteer.

I irrevocably grant the Texas Nationalist Movement and its agents, the exclusive right to use my name, likeness, photos or reproduction for any purpose including promotion, advertising or other purposes.

I understand that any and all volunteer labor is uncompensated and is not tax-deductible as a charitable deduction as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. (IRS Publication #526) The IRS Code specifically precludes deducting a donation of "time or services" and I will not receive any receipt from TNM for the labor or services donated.

I acknowledge that I have read and understand this entire Waiver of Liability and Release, and I agree to be legally bound by it.
