Guest host: Mary Tillotson

E-mail has transformed the way politicians and constituents communicate. In 2004, Congress received four times more constituent communications than in 1995. Yet, the staffing levels of Members' personal offices have not changed. Join us as we explore the challenges and possibilities of internet communications between citizens and government.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.

Kathy Goldschmidt

Michael Cornfield

Adjunct Professor, George Washington University; Senior Research Consultant, Pew Internet & American Life Project; and Author, “Politics Moves Online: Campaigning and the Internet” (The Century Foundation)
