Timing is of great importance.
It is very important that each CIN and its members contact the candidates in their districts. Identify elected officials or political candidates in one's district. Contact both candidates, since one of them will be in a position to decide funding for on-line local information development efforts. Let them know that funding for the development of local information will be included in the Office of Administration's budget and to pay attention to it because it is important to local communities. Each CIN needs to identify at least 5 users that will contact candidates in the district.
