Thought I'd add, I've been on this list since its inception.  Thought it
would be interesting, sort of a "direct feed" to the policy making
process. :-) 

Unfortunately, that's all it seems to be, in the negative sense, thus far: a
spoon feed.  List content has been nothing but press releases and PR stuff,
how to talk about the plan to put it in a good light, what Bill or Hillary
said about it at some luncheon or something, attacks on other public figures
who criticize the plan, email equivalents of kissing babies and eating pizza,
etc. etc.  Trash, IMHO.  Most of it has not been substantive, or even
particularly informative.  I'm soon unsubscribing.


Anyway, FYI only; some people like that stuff.
