===============================
UK Citizens' Online Democracy (UKCOD) is delighted to announce that for
the first time in Britain the general public can participate in the
preparation of a law by interacting directly with a Government Minister
via the internet.
An independent, non-partisan web site supported by the Cabinet Office
has been set up by UK Citizens' Online Democracy (UKCOD) to enable the
public to provide the Government with feedback on its proposals for
Britain's first Freedom of Information Act and to pose questions directly
to Dr David Clark, the Minister responsible for the Freedom of Information
proposals.
You can have your say to the Government and the Minister NOW at:-

Dr Clark said, "Before we produce the draft Freedom of Information
Bill, I am keen to hear people's views on our proposals. The UKCOD
website will be a quick and convenient route for people to provide
this feedback. I look forward to taking part in the online discussion
planned for the New Year."
So don't be shy, help make history! Have Your Say to the Government at:-

And a big thank you to our sponsors - AOL, the Joseph Rowntree Charitable
Trust, Sun Microsystems and GX Networks.
