Citizens of different parties and political beliefs from all over Pima County have joined together to use new technology to bring election campaigns directly to people. Candidates can speak directly to voters, without any of the usual filters or limitations.
Voters can become better informed, more involved, and increasingly engaged.
I hope that this new technology can restore some of the thoughtfulness and substance that seems to have left our politics. On behalf of the Arizona Democratic Party, congratulations to StarNet Election '96. The American political system works best when we take part. I am encouraged that a group of Tucson citizens have cared enough about that system to work out a new way to broaden participation in the political process. I congratulate them and the Arizona Daily Star on their contribution to our community.
