The Presidential Campaign Information Service is a non-partisan
service operated at M.I.T to make campaign information available,
facilitate electronic discussion of the issues, and to study the
use of electronic mail as a component of a presidential campaign.
The service can neither control who reads what you write in public,
nor how they may use your written words. For our part, we store
most messages, and we will make them available after the election
for scientific study. Names and any other identifiers will not be
released; they will be omitted or replaced with random symbols.
