Oct 2016

We were in a Yahoo group run by a former Congressman's HQ manager

Weekly and often nightly chats during election 2000

Back then we used chain emails to help GOTV

and whatever else the early internet provided - new message boards,
discussion, even the personals

The group is still active, shame that Yahoo deletes the archives after
about 5 years on a rolling basis, with no way to backup or download

Bartcop was alt news in its day, other sites included BushWatch,
Democrats.com, BearLeft, CLG.org, and even sites with no name
that remain active today such as http://news4florida.tripod.com/index1.html
