In a pioneering experiment, Kennedy began posting releases in May on computer bulletin boards for reading by his Massachusetts constituents. I invite Massachusetts citizens to take advantage of this inno vation in electronic democracy. The bulletin boards provide a cost-effective way for voters to directly access information from Sen. Kennedy on various policy issues. Readers of the Kennedy releases may provide the Senator with immediate feedback on the issues by commenting via computer. While all comments will be monitored, staff limitations will prohibit individual replies for the foreseeable future.
