RE: RE: WATPA / WLS Service Definition For Political Candidates
I think Warren & Bill are on the money. So long as everyone of every
political stripe has access to the Web space, I think it's a great idea.

For what its worth -
This is an effort i can support wholeheartedly.
Contrast & diversity are of the essence here, LWV voters guides are
a reasonable model to follow.
Links to other sites is a tricky prospect & could be turn out to paint
an imbalanced picture. We all know the extreme have WWW sites, the
mainstream & grassroots it would seem are less innvolved; this should
not be a forum for "technological image".
2 or 3 kb of flat text from any potential canidates. Imagine what that
could do for the write in vote?
Chat areas sound great. But it sounds scary to think of tracking political
thoughts and storing them at the library (1996 or 1984?). It it a form
of Big Brother or is it a huge step in Public Access?
