Tim Ryan Makes Public Commitment To Truth By Taking The Pro-truth Pledge

TIM RYAN Makes a public commitment to taking the Pro-truth Pledge as he becomes the second Democratic Presidential primary candidate to pledge publicly to truthfulness.
 
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Oct. 8, 2019 - PRLog -- Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH) has signed the Pro-Truth Pledge. This marks a public commitment by the Democratic Party presidential primary candidate to 12 truth-promoting behaviors. The pledge was designed to help public figures and ordinary citizens fight misinformation, protect facts and restore civility. The twelve truth-promoting behaviors of the pledge are described here: www.protruthpledge.org.

On the Pro-Truth Pledge website, Congressman Ryan stated: "Absent transparency, democracy cannot survive. I wholeheartedly embrace the fact that honesty and clarity are essential for civil and progressive public discourse." (https://www.protruthpledge.org/public-figures-signed-pledge/). Congressman Ryan has been serving as the U.S. Representative for Ohio's 13th congressional district since 2003.

Congressman Ryan is the second Democratic candidate to sign the Pro-Truth Pledge to date. Congressman Beto O'Rouke signed the pledge during his Texas election campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2018. All of the other Democratic candidates were approached dozens of times through various channels, but refused to take the pledge.

"Congressman Tim Ryan's public commitment to promoting the truth is extremely important in our current climate of polarization and incivility, where so many politicians put part and ideology above integrity. My hope is that all candidates for the Democratic and the Republican Party presidential primary who are committed to facts will make the public commitment of taking the pledge." says Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, founder of the Pro-Truth Pledge.

The mission of the Pro-Truth Pledge is "to encourage politicians – and everyone else - to commit to truth-oriented behaviors and protect facts and civility." To date, over 10,000 people have signed the pledge, including 652 government officials. The Pro-Truth Pledge is a project of Intentional Insights (http://intentionalinsights.org/), a volunteer-run, educational and nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit, devoted to promoting truth, rational thinking, and wise decision-making.
