The Clean & Fair Campaign 2008 group on Facebook just sent this important message:
The Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) announced that it has submitted written challenges to the communications directors of the McCain and Obama campaigns. In a letter to Robert Gibbs (Obama for America) and a letter to Jill Hazelbaker (John McCain 2008), PRSA Chair & CEO Jeffrey Julin, on behalf of the PRSA Board of Directors, asks the campaigns to sign a formal pledge obligating them to abide by the PRSA Code of Ethics in their campaign communications.
PRSA has yet to receive signed pledge forms from either of the campaigns, but will continue to speak out publicly and vigorously on the issue. Stay tuned for further developments.
Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about! Thanks, PRSA!

Neither the McCain or Obama campaign will sign a pledge "obligating them to abide by the PRSA Code of Ethics in their campaign communications."
That's because presidential candidates have no reason to treat PRSA as the voice or moral authority of the influence industry. The truth is that PRSA is none of these things.
