The Hill on the Net

the long version

In The Hill On The Net, Chris Casey provides an insider's perspective on the Internet's affect on politics. He begins with a historical journey through Congress' efforts to get online and winds up with a look at how the Internet is being used in political campaigning, particularly the 1996 Presidential and Congressional races. He also provides you with a complete "how-to" guide for accessing Congressional and campaign resources on the Net. According to WEBSIGHT Magazine, Casey is among the 100 most interesting and influential people on the Web. While serving as Senator Kennedy's Technology and Policy Advisor, Casey made the Senator one of the first members of Congress to get on the Net. He also created CapWeb, the premier Web site for locating Congressional information on the Net, and in his current role with the Senate Democratic Technology and Communications Committee. Casey is at the heart of Congress' Internet presence. This book will not only help you to locate Congress on the Net, it will tell you how Congress got there, and equip you to understand the information you find.
