The Congressional On-Line Pledge

        On-Line for the 21st Century

        From http://www.house.gov/white/internet_caucus/pledge.html

        As members of the Internet Caucus, we pledge to ...

        Open up Congress so that our constituents can have more information from and more access to their elected representatives.

        Network with the Internet community to receive their input on the issues affecting the Internet that come before Congress.

        Learn more about how the Internet works and use it.

        Increase member's usage of the Internet by working to get more members of Congress on-line by the end of this year.

        N In Ninety days, get on-line by maintaining a World Wide Web site or public e-mail for my congressional office.

        Educate members of Congress about the Internet and to raise the level of knowledge on upcoming Internet issues that Congress will deal with in the Information Age.

        As members of the Internet Caucus, we believe that it is time for Congress to move itself into the Information Age. While we have made some progress in making government more open, we will not meet the reasonable expectations of our constituents un til each office and committee is ON-LINE and accessible to the public.

        This year it is our goal to better educate Congress on the role of the Internet in our daily lives and to get other members to join us in our pledge to get ON-LINE for the 21st Century.

        Signed,
