TimeToResign.com is a campaign calling on FBI Director James Comey to resign.

11 days before the US presidential election, the FBI violated its own rules and meddled in the election by launching yet another inquiry into Hillary Clinton based on spurious evidence. With one week to go, they did it again, publishing records from a 15-year-old investigation of Bill Clinton. Yet, the FBI refuses to release anything about Donald Trump’s housing discrimination case or his campaign’s alleged ties to Russia. Whether FBI Director James Comey is a political partisan, or has simply lost control of a rogue FBI, the American people have lost faith in an agency that now appears to be little more than an arm of the Republican party. The FBI needs to clean house, starting with its own Director. Join the TimeToResign.com campaign - tell James Comey it's time to resign.

Alan Klein

Alan Klein has three decades’ experience in being a leader in strategic communications at the vanguard of political and social change.

Klein, a native New Yorker, was a founding member of the AIDS activist group ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), and he co-founded the LGBT rights organization Queer Nation. By combining innovative digital and traditional communications strategies with headline-grabbing activist savvy, Klein obtains high-profile results for his clients.

Klein co-founded one of the nation’s first public relations firms to cater to LGBT and social justice clients. He has provided strategic communications services to some of the nation’s most notable nonprofits and corporations, including AT&T, Rolling Stone, HBO, Comedy Central, Natural Resources Defense Council, Housing Works, Lambda Legal, and GMHC. Klein has galvanized public opinion by placing cutting-edge issues on front pages and in primetime.

Klein served as the first national communications director and spokesperson for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). He played a pivotal role in Ellen DeGeneres’ coming out, and subsequent media frenzy, by helping to orchestrate international coverage. He also brought the crisis of anti-LGBT violence to national attention by co-creating and co-producing “The Anti-Violence Campaign,” the first-ever anti-gay violence television ad campaign, chaired by celebrities including Susan Sarandon, John Waters, Harvey Fierstein and Lou Reed.

Most recently, Klein helped to raise awareness of the plight of LGBT Russians suffering under Vladimir Putin’s regime, transforming a little-known injustice into a global controversy by securing national and international media coverage. Following the massacre earlier this year at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, Klein worked with a variety of LGBT grassroots and gun safety organizations to organize vigils and protests, and provide media outreach as a campaign spokesperson.
