 Volunteers,

    The server was down for a while and hence I must have seemed to have
    vanished.  Actually I am now located in Little Rock where I am in    
    regular contact with all the key Campaign staffers.

    Tonight is debate #1.  Shortly after it is over, I expect to be able
    to send you some good material to work with.

    By the way, while we have coverage in each of the 9 regions 
    ('nations') the list managers have divided the country into, we have
    far too few email volunteers in:

    Arkansas
    Colorado
    Conneticut
    Deleware
    DC
    Hawaii
    Iowa
    Kansas
    Kentucky
    Maryland
    Minnesota
    Mississippi
    Montana
    Nevada
    New Jersey
    New Mexico
    North Carolina
    North Dakotoa
    Oklahoma
    Oregon
    Peurto Rico
    Rhode Island
    South Carolina
    South Dakota
    Texas
    Vermont
    Virgin islands
    Virginia
    West Virginia
    Wyoming

    Please try to reach people in these states and get them to sign up as
    email volunteers.  The address is now:  @campaign92.org

    If we are going to get out the vote and take the economy to Bush we  
 need people in every state.  Also, HQ will be much more impressed with
 the Email Campaign if we can show positive results in ALL 50 states and
 territories!  Amd if we are to be a meaningful resource to local
 campaign offices, we must have volunteer near each and every office.

    So please get out there and enroll email volunteers!

    Many thanks

		      To paraphrase JFK
	
	  Ask not what the campaign can do for you,
	 but rather what you can do for the campaign.

       We need all your help.  No one of us can know or
	      do it all.  Together we can win!

                       ---------------

    CLINTON SPEECHES AND POSITION PAPERS AVAILABLE VIA EMAIL 

[This server is passive and waits for your requests.  To keep current,
you will have to check this server on a regular basis.]            
      
You can get speeches and position papers of the Clinton/Gore campaign
via email.  To get these files all you need is the ability to send mail
to the internet.

Send a message to <ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com> where the text contains the
commands listed below.  To find out more about the ftpmail server, send
a message with 'help' as the text of the message.

To find out more about NPTN (National Public Telecomputing Network, where
the information is stored), request the ABOUT.NPTN.TXT file.

You can ask for more than one file at a time.  Just add a line begining
with 'get' for each file that you want to receive.  But, don't request
more than 10 files at a time, since that is the maximum the mail server
will permit in one message.  The 'reply' line is optional if you trust
the mailer to properly format a return address.

It may take several hours for the files to be returned to you.  But they
should arrive in your mailbox with little hastle.  (If you want the files
promptly, you can anonymous ftp to nptn.org.)

==============

Use the following commands as the text of a message to
<ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com>:

reply <PUT YOUR MAIL ADDRESS HERE>
connect nptn.org 
chdir /pub/campaign.92/clinton.dir
get FILENAME  <== (Replace FILENAME with the name of the file you want)
quit
