Register Already, Will Ya?

In just 2 weeks, the Roundtable will hold its fourth meeting at the 
Sheraton in downtown Sacramento.  Do us a favor and register 
today.  Please!  One sponsor slot is still available for $1000.  All the 
info can be found at: http://www.cenic.org/gb/events/rt1104/index.htm

And for those of you who always wait until the very last minute, it is now 
officially the last minute.  The hotel has extended the deadline for 
getting a room at our good rates until Nov. 5.  (Trust me.  They are 
good.  Another event right after ours that K-12 people are attending has 
room rates at $20 per night more.)

Vote Early, Vote Broadband

Since the election is tomorrow, I figured those of you are still undecided 
might want to investigate broadband policies.  Tina Nerat’s workshop folks 
have the right idea -- educate elected officials - if they don't 
understand, elect those who "get it".

To see how Bush and Kerry differ:

1.  At Internet.com, Kerry, Bush Split on Broadband

Also, if you are interested in California candidates, the CCTPG sent the 
2004 Youth & Technology Candidate Survey to every certified candidate 
running for office in the California general election. Every California 
candidate on the ballot for the United States Senate, the United States 
House of Representatives, the California State Senate, and the California 
State Assembly received the survey.  57 folks responded.  Their responses 
are here in an Excel spreadsheet.  Know your candidates names before 
attempting to look at this – not alphabetized.

Happy voting!
