SUBJECT: Free the Muse, Austin!
Dear Council Member,
(Your personal note)
I support Villa Muse Studios and the economic, professional and residential opportunities this project provides us.
As a resident of the Austin area, I would hope you would be willing to lead the way in forging this first-of-its-kind partnership in Austin. Help us bring these money-making industries to the creative capital of Texas. Help us to re-energize Austin as the place to recruit and retain top-end talent, to film big budget movies and television, to make the next great video game and to record the next great score or multi-platinum album here.
Villa Muse provides hope to all of us in the creative community that we may be able to continue to live and work in the city we love so dearly. It provides promise to our neighbors of additional jobs and revenue. We look to you for leadership and action on behalf of Austin, Central Texas and the state.
Thank you for your consideration.

Petitions and Surveys
For petitions and surveys you've signed or completed, we treat your name, city, state, and comments as public information—for example, we may provide compilations of petitions, with your comments, to the officeholders and legislators, other targets, or to the press. We will not make your street address publicly available, but we may transmit it to members of City Council as part of a petition. This is a standard industry practice in such situations. In no such case will we disclose your email address or phone number without your permission. We may also make your comments, along with your first name, city and state available to the press and public online.
Under circumstances where we determine that members may be misusing our systems for malicious purposes (for example, using the numbers we provide to make harassing phone calls), such activities may be reported to law enforcement agencies. In such cases, FreeTheMuseAustin.com may release personally identifiable information, including name and address, to those agencies.
Sending Emails Via FreeTheMuseAustin.com
In certain cases, we enable you to send individual e-mails to City officeholders, legislators, and other targets as well as Letters-to-the-Editor to various news publications, through our website. These messages are sent in your name, with your e-mail address as the return address and your full name and contact information is provided as part of the submission. These messages will only be sent out under your name as you approve them on an individual basis using our email tool. You are solely responsible for the specific message(s) you send using our email tool.
