Organization: Knowledge Resource BBS, 303-545-2736, First.Last@kr-bbs.com As a group we, The TEA (Take Effective Action) Party, are a registered political action group in Boulder County, CO. The TEA Party is a loose knit group of individuals that closes ranks and springs into action when our city council or any of the city management start going against THE WILL OF THE COMMUNITY. The Tea Party is a low level grass roots effort. Our last large action was a recall election for 4 of 7 members of our city council with a total funding of under $300.00 and out of pocket expenses. (While the council managed to stay in power they did hear the WAKE-UP CALL we left.) Not always, but sometimes, we have made a difference.

Will Rausch, dp008@cleveland.freenet.edu ------------------------------ HOUSE SCIENCE, SPACE & TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE BETA PUBLIC-ACCESS SITE From: JPX@hr.house.gov Aug 1994 <==== !!! This is the initial posting from the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the U.S. House of Representatives, chaired by the Honorable George Brown of California. We have agreed to serve as the "beta" testers for House Committees trying to learn how to use the Internet. We posted this message to some of the USENET newsgroups that discuss topics relevant to our jurisdiction over Federal civilian research and development activities to: (1) Increase the number of people who know we do have Internet access; (2) Indicate how we can be reached on the net; and (3) Start learning how to take advantage of this information system in our daily activities. Getting the Congress to use Internet has been discussed in a few threads on various USENET newsgroups of late. Some of you may be familiar with the E-Mail Pilot Project established by the Committee on House Administration, chaired by the Honorable Charlie Rose of North Carolina. Those Members of the House currently maintaining an electronic mailbox for constituent communications may be found by e-mailing "congress@hr.house.gov" with the text "HELP" or "INFO" in the message body. You will receive an automated response with the necessary instructions. Also, the text of legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives during the current Congress is now available on a W.A.I.S server located at the House Information Systems data center. The server may be accessed from the directory at quake.think.com or using the following information: Server: diamond Port: 210 Database Name: USHOUSE_house_bill_text_103rd It can also be found on gopher.house.gov in: Congressional Information/Legislative Resources The database contains the text of House bills beginning with October 1993 and is updated daily. What follows now is the message you will automatically receive in response to messages sent to housesst@hr.house.gov, the Committee's Internet address. It describes items like the Committee's gopher server, which you can also find at gopher.house.gov. ----------- begin ----------- Welcome to the electronic mailbox system for the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the U.S. House of Representatives. This Internet service is provided for ease of communication with the Members and staff of the Committee. If your message is addressed to a specific Member, it will be printed out in hard copy and forwarded to the Member's office for response by U.S. Mail. If your message is addressed to a staff member of the Committee, it will be forwarded electronically to that staff member for response. Depending on the nature of the response, it might reach you in either electronic or postal form. Messages for the Committee press office will be acknowledged electronically and then followed up on, if necessary, with material by post or fax. You can reach the press office directly via Internet at "sstpress@hr.house.gov". The Committee also maintains a bulletin board on the House of Representatives Internet gopher server at "gopher@hr.house.gov". Much of the public information material provided by the Committee is available on this gopher system. Much of this information also is available on the Committee's "Straight Talk" voice-response system. Dial 202/225-3018 and follow the menu instructions for a touch-tone telephone. Thank you for contacting the House Science Committee. Please be patient as we experiment with this new way of better serving your communications needs. If you wish to write to the Committee, please direct your correspondence to: Committee on Science, Space, and Technology 2320 Rayburn House Office Building U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 ----------- end ----------- At this time, we suggest you supply both your e-mail and postal addresses in any communication to the Committee. Each office in Congress has its own policy for responding to public inquiries. So, if we forward your e-mail to a particular Member's office, they may choose to respond with a regular letter. Our Committee hopes to increase our use of e-mail in responding to public inquiries. We have chosen the following subset of USENET groups for our initial foray into the net.world: alt.california alt.cyberspace alt.dcom.telecom alt.politics.datahighway comp.dcom.telecom comp.org.cpsr.talk comp.org.eff.talk misc.education misc.education.science misc.legal sci.agriculture sci.astro sci.bio.ecology sci.chem sci.energy sci.engr sci.environment sci.geo.geology sci.math sci.med sci.misc sci.physics sci.research sci.space.policy talk.environment talk.politics.crypto Please feel free to repost this message to other groups that might find the information of value. Your comments on what should be carried by this channel of communications would also be welcomed. === Committee on Science, Space, and Technology U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 HOUSESST@HR.HOUSE.GOV DISCLAIMER: Opinions expressed in this posting are those of the sender and do not necessarily reflect those of the Committee, the Chairman or any Member of Congress. ------------------------------ LISTSERV ON NATIONAL HEALTH-CARE REFORM From: Jonathan Hurwitz Aug 14 20:51:56 1994 NHCTEN on majordomo@world.std.com The Evaluation Center @ HSRI has been working on plans to set up an Internet Listserv to discuss how national health care reforms may affect the delivery of mental health care and substance abuse treatment services at the state and local level. In particular, we are concerned with how such changes should be evaluated at the system, institutional, program or consumer level. The NHCTEN mailing list is part of The Evaluation Center's Topical Evaluation Network on National Health Care Reform. The Evaluation Center will be represented on-line by Robert Dorwart, M.D. of the Kennedy School of Government and Steve Leff Ph.D. and Matthew Wise, M.P.H. of HSRI. Now that the Listserv is running, you may subscribe by posting the following message to majordomo@world.std.com : SUBSCRIBE NHCTEN (or) SUBSCRIBE NHCTEN-DIGEST Messages to be broadcast to the List should be posted to nhcten@world.std.com .
