Hello friends,

I'm a Tory member from Coventry and I have been really keen on online
campaigning for some time. I read with interest the recent story that
the Tories are going to be learning from the US techniques.

I too have been watching US techniques for some time now. I've been
working on a small website, for Heartlands Conservative Future area,
which I am trying to make into a very modern, cutting edge website. It
uses the same base software that Howard Dean used and that has been
raved about all over the web.

It's at http://www.heartlandscf.co.uk/cms/ and I would really appreciate
some feedback on it from you guys.

Finding people on the ground around here that know a thing or two
about the internet is really difficult so the opinions I tend to get
are very much based around people comign to us as a party as well as
not being too open.

Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Is the podcast a good or bad idea? What about the private and public
blogs?

Thanks,

Mike Rouse
