Overview
Now, more than ever before, you can have your say in the development of party platforms, keep tabs on the voting records and finances of your elected officials, and stage powerful grassroots lobbying efforts through fax and e-mail campaigns. Experienced journalist and web crawler Charles Bowen brings organization and clarity to the complex array of political sites in cyberspace and shows you how to make a difference and be heard in the growing clamor of American politics online. Whether Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Socialist, you'll find kindred spirits and ardent opponents surfing the net. Bowen's expert tour will guide you to conservative, liberal, and even the most rabid fringe perspectives on issues including abortion, domestic violence, civil liberties, gun control, gay rights, race relations, and every topic of debate. You'll also get the information you need to connect directly with legislators who speak for you in government. Finally, a thorough section dedicated to consumer resources shows you how to use the net, to seek protection from dangerous products, misleading advertisements, fraudulent business practices, and online scams while obtaining free cradle-to-grave legal advice and tapping into government services and entitlements.Book Details
