The Internet & Politics

Consider that:

• Web sites have leveled the playing field so that everyone -- from the individual to the mega-corporation -- has equal access to anyone on the net, including potential voters.
• Individuals can find a plethora of independent data about virtually every issue, every public figure and every cause, from the environmental debate over building the Three Gorges Dam on China's Yangtze River to the latest on the musical career of U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch.
• Political candidates are finding it easier than ever to raise money, much it from people who have not been "traditional" donors.
• In the United States alone, 22 percent say they have surfed the net to get political information.

e-Campaigning is overwhelming the old politicking, and although existing bureaucrats have been slow to catch on, many are beginning to show signs of acceptance. Every major U.S. Presidential candidate had a Web site in 1999 and many had Internet advisors. But, as with anything on the net, there is a fine line between relevant information and overload. At e-Elections, we specialize in issue campaigns and e-campaigning, but we love politics in general as well. Here are the links we use to surf some of the most relevant political sights that can help unearth any fact about politics and the political system.
