The Clinton/Gore campaign has started using a new system to handle
discussion of the campaign and issues facing our country.  You can
participate by joining the general discussion list by mailing a 
SUBSCRIBE CLINTON message to LISTSERV@MARIST.BITNET

Also, there will be a Georgia-specific group to help get
volunteers for Clinton in this pivotal state.  Eric Loeb writes:

I have written an automatic campaign volunteer enlistment service
as part of my doctoral work.  I would greatly appreciate your help
in testing the beta version of this software....but this is also more
than just a test, so please do not use the software if you not actually
intend to volunteer for the Clinton campaign.

In order to volunteer send mail to "clinton-test@ai.mit.edu".
the subject line of you message will act as a command to the
program. 

Here are some of the subject line commands you might send:


 help			   Returns a short list of all the commands

 volunteer email	   Lists all the email tasks to volunteer for
 volunteer email ftp	   You will be sent new material to archive
 volunteer local <state>   Sends your email address is your state HQ

 add local <state>         Adds you to a discussion list for your state
 add issue health	   Adds you to a health care discussion list
 remove issue health	   Removes you from the health care list
 add issue		   Lists all the available issue-specific groups

 suggest propose	   Adds your favorite suggestion to a list
 suggest get		   Returns the numbered list of suggestions
 suggest vote X		   Votes on the suggestions you'd like to
			           forward to Bill Clinton for comment

 bug			   Tell the maintainer about a problem



I need to know if this system is difficult to use before making it
more widely known and donating the software to the Clinton campaign.

If you have any difficulties or suggestions for improvements, *Please*
let me know at "loeb@psyche.mit.edu" or "loeb@ai.mi.edu".

Thank You,
