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,
