Years ago, cyber-promoters were claiming the Internet would reshape our democracy. Some aspects really have prospered, from moveon.org to political blogs to the IRS's highly usable website. However, as Congress Online points out, there's still a lot of work to be done. Getting useful information from a Congressperson's website is still nearly impossible, as is getting through to your representative with your concerns - by email, phone, fax, or letter. Many of the same technologies that are making communication easier are also helping Congress stay more cloistered. Dennis Johnson ventures behind the scenes to find out how the new technology is changing grassroots politics, issue advocacy, constituent service, and campaigns. Based on a large-scale joint research effort by the George Washington University, the Congressional Management Foundation, and Pew Charitable Trusts, Congress Online will be the definitive book on the communication revolution's effect on life inside the beltway.
