- COMPUTER COLUMNIST AND OPEN-GOVERNMENT ACTIVIST JIM WARREN
- TO RECEIVE 1994 HUGH M. HEFNER FIRST AMENDMENT AWARD
-
- Computer columnist and open-government activist Jim Warren has been
- selected to receive the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Award in the
- category of Government, the Playboy Foundation announced today.
-
- Warren is honored for being one of the leaders in effectively using
- online advocacy and network-assisted citizen action. Warren
- organized and led a successful grass roots campaign to implement a
- plan for a low-cost computerized public information system,
- bringing access to state government records to citizens throughout
- California.
-
- In March, 1993, California Assemblywoman Debra Bowen introduced a
- bill that required that virtually all of the state's public
- legislative information be made available to the public by computer
- modem. Intrigued by the bill, Warren called Bowen and was told
- that the bill was virtually dead because it would cost millions
- of dollars to implement and there was very little public support.
-
- Convinced that there was an almost free way of implementing it
- using the Internet, the largest, nonprofit, nonproprietary,
- cooperative public computer network in the world, Warren
- single-handedly launched a crusade to ensure the bill's passage.
- Warren went online broadcasting the details of the bill and issued
- calls for citizen support and action alerts. The result of his
- grass roots electronic campaign was immediate and impressive. What
- had been a "dead" bill passed four committee votes and three floor
- votes without a single opposing vote.
-
- In October 1993, California Governor Pete Wilson signed the bill
- into law, making California the first state in the nation to
- provide online access via the Internet to extensive details of all
- state legislation in progress. Warren's efforts to open up state
- government marks the first time online advocacy and network
- assisted citizen action was instrumental in the passage of state
- legislation.
-
- A leading figure in computer-assisted public access, Warren founded
- the online newsletter, GovAccess, through which he has campaigned
- vigorously and effectively to open government to public view. He
- has long used his columns in MicroTimes, Government Technology and
- BoardWatch magazines to rally support for overdue reforms in
- government information procedures, and was the 1991 founder and
- chair of the First Conference on Computers, Freedom & Privacy.
-
- He is now campaigning to make similarly accessible, records such as
- the economic interest statements of state officials, lobbyists'
- disclosure forms, campaign finance reports and state information
- that is already computerized and to which the public has a
- theoretical right of access under the California Public Records
- Act. He is also encouraging local communities to develop civic
- networks, providing 24-hour online access to city and county
- government.
-
- Along with Warren, other 1994 Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Award
- winners include: media critics Jeff Cohen and Normon Solomon, for
- co-writing Adventures in Medialand: Behind the News, Beyond the
- Pundits, a collection of collection of commentaries on media
- issues; attorney Anthony Griffin, for his moral courage in
- defending the right of the Klu Klux Klan to keep its membership
- lists private; The Oregonian editorial page editor Robert Landauer,
- for producing a series of editorials aimed at overturning Measure
- 9, the anti-gay constitutional amendment in Oregon; drama teacher
- Carole Marlowe, for staging a dramatic reading of the play the
- play, The Shadowbox that provided a far greater opportunity for the
- community to discuss censorship, the First Amendment and artistic
- freedom; and First Amendment Congress founder Jean Otto, for
- developing the Education for Freedom curriculum for teaching the
- First Amendment in public schools.
-
- These winners, who will be honored at an awards luncheon ceremony
- on November 16, 1994 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City,
- were selected by an independent panel of judges, including Carl
- Jensen, professor of communication studies at Sonoma State
- University, founding director of Project Censored and a 1992
- recipient of a Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Award; Jessica
- Mitford, social change activist and author of The American Way of
- Death; and Rex Armstrong, attorney, volunteer counsel to the
- American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon and 1988 Hugh M. Hefner
- First Amendment Award winner.
-
- Established in 1979 by the Playboy Foundation, the Hugh M. Hefner
- First Amendment Awards program honors individuals who have made
- significant contributions to defend First Amendment rights for
- Americans. Eligibility is not restricted by profession, but
- nominees traditionally have come from the areas of print and
- broadcast journalism, education, publishing, law, government and
- arts and entertainment.

- newspapers (time I don't have). Do you know of any BBS's, Web sites,
- gophers, listservs, etc., that might have such information?

- MINNESOTA E-DEMOCRACY 1994 - CAMPAIGN AND ELECTION INFORMATION
- From: "Steven L. Clift" <clif0005@gold.tc.umn.edu> Sun Oct 16 15:26:20 1994
-
- [An outstanding model of some of the possibilities. What are you or others
- doing in *your* state? --jim]
-
- The Minnesota E-Democracy project invites you to explore our updated campaign
- and election information server on the Internet and to join our interactive
- election and public policy electronic mail forum. This citizen organized
- project has combined the an interactive forum with retrievable election
- information. This combination has been key to its success. It has built a
- foundation electronic citizen participation and discussion of important issues.
-
- The new Twin Cities Free-Net is the host of the Internet server and the
- Minnesota Regional Network (MRNet) has donated the e-list facilities.
-
- The project has collected position papers from candidates for Governor and
- U.S. Senate, the voter registration and constitutional amendment information
- from the Secretary of State, candidate profiles from the Star-Tribune
- newspaper, and many other election oriented documents in electronic form.
- In near future we will be adding the text of the voter guide produced by the
- Minnesota League of Women's Voters.
-
- This on-line effort was launched only a few weeks before the September primary
- election and is one of only a handful multi-candidate, state-level projects of
- it kind. The E-Democracy Internet server is filled with content and the
- Minnesota Politics and Public Policy E-mail Forum (MN-POLITICS) has around 300
- subscribers - close to three times more than any other state-based public
- affairs electronic mail list. The forum is also archived on the server, so
- you need not subscribe to the list to follow the interesting debate.
-
- Project volunteers are now working to hold the first e-mail debate between
- candidates for the U.S. Senate and Governor in Minnesota. If it can be pulled
- off, it will probably be the first on-line e-debate between campaigns at that
- level. At a minimum side-by-side issue papers will be presented on a some key
- topics over the course of a few days for each race.
-
- If the information below does not answer your questions about reaching the
- server, subscribing to the e-mail forum, or about the effort in general,
- please feel free to contact us at our e-mail address. The volunteers working
- on the debate are looking for question suggestions for the e-debate, so send
- them in!
-
- We look forward to your participation.

- Information Infrastructure ... but not for little folks or "radical" views?
- DUNIFER SAYS FCC SEEKS INJUNCTION TO GAG MICRO-POWER BROADCASTER
-
- From: mech@eff.org Sun Oct 16 05:18:20 1994
- From: Stephen Dunifer <frbspd@crl.com>
- To: action@eff.org (action mailing list)
-
- On Tuesday, October 10 attorneys for Stephen Dunifer and Free
- Radio Berkeley received notice, 80 pages worth, of the FCC's intention to
- seek an injunction which would bar further broadcasts by Free Radio
- Berkeley. Stephen Dunifer is named as the responsible party. Free Radio
- Berkeley is part of a rapidly growing movement which uses inexpensive and
- low power radio transmitters (1/2 watt to 30 watts) to reach local
- communities. Called micro power broadcasting, this movement sees simple,
- easy to use transmitters as the leaflet of the 90's. In an era of
- multinational controlled mass media, micro power broadcasting is the voice
- of the community; the voice of the people. For four years the government
- has been trying to squelch this movement with escalating (but uncollected)
- fines. Clearly, it sees broadcasting which anyone can do as a threat to
- centralized control of information, ideas and culture. Intimidation
- having failed, the FCC is abandoning its own procedures and turning to the
- weight of the Federal Courts to squelch this new and democratic media. It
- won't happen.
-
- Last July the FCC served a notice of apparent liability on Stephen
- Dunifer in the amount of $20,000 for alleged illegal broadcasts. This
- case has been pending before an FCC administrative panel for over a year.
- In July 1994, a Federal Appeals Court in the District of Columbia ruled
- that the FCC's current fine structure was invalid. This action, at the
- very least, places the FCC fine process into a state of limbo until new
- hearings are held. Perhaps this explains why the FCC has taken this mode
- of attack.
-
- Luke Hiken, attorney for Stephen Dunifer, stated, "This is a
- totally unprecedented move on the part of the FCC. It appears they have
- side-stepped their own authority regarding micro radio broadcasting.
- Instead, they have chosen to bring down the full weight of the Federal
- Court System on an ever expanding community of broadcasters who are
- challenging the FCC's ban on micro power broadcasting.". (continued)
-
- "They can kiss my Bill of Rights" was Stephen Dunifer's response,
- who went on further to say, "Neither myself nor the movement to liberate
- and reclaim the airwaves from corporate control will be deterred one bit
- by the FCC's latest action. It is a matter of free speech and human
- rights. No where in their prodigious legal tome does any aggrieved party
- come forth, other than the FCC, to assert damage or harm. FCC, in my
- opinion, stands for fostering corporate control. Free Radio Berkeley has
- been on vacation for the last few months in order to allow time to put
- together new equipment. Broadcasts will resume shortly at a new
- frequency, 104.1 FM, and continue until the date of the first court
- hearing. If an injunction is granted, there are many others taking up the
- banner of Free Radio Berkeley. We shall not be moved nor stymied by a
- justice system which means, in reality, just us corporations."
-
- Another member of the legal defense team, Allen Hopper, put it
- this way, "It is utterly amazing that the FCC would seek a TRO, which is
- only sought for emergency situations where the threat of immediate and
- irreparable harm requires the intervention of the Court. The fact that
- the FCC has had this case pending before its own administrative panel for
- over a year contradicts any notion of emergency or injury. Further, their
- actions clearly demonstrate the fear they hold for the kind of public
- dialogue which takes place over micro power radio."
-
- Luke Hiken and the National Lawyers Guild Committee on Democratic
- Communications are committed to defending the rights of micro broadcasters
- under the US Constitution and principles of international law.
-
- At this moment, a hearing on this matter is scheduled to take
- place on December 2 in Federal District Court in Oakland starting at 10:30
- AM. A Free Speech Solidarity Support Rally will be held outside the
- Oakland Federal Building prior to the hearing. On the following evening
- (Saturday, December 3) a public forum flying the banner of - Seizing the
- Space, Media and Communications Free Speech Activism - will be held in
- Berkeley at the Unitarian Fellowship (Cedar & Bonita). Starting time will
- be 8 PM. Simultaneous forums on this topic will be taking place in a
- number of other cities around the US, and perhaps internationally as well,
- on this date.

- INTERNET? INTERNET WHO?
-
- I just got around to reading "What is the Internet, Anyway?" by John Quarterman
- (author of THE MATRIX from Digital Press) and Smoot Carl-Mitchell,
- in the September issue of MicroTimes (a California print monthly;
- microx@well.com) and was *delighted* with it. It provides a MUCH-needed
- reasonable delineation of the words and concepts for the ambiguities involved
- when folks refer to "the net" or the "Internet" -- a useful structure of the
- concepts and labels.

- COURT INFORMATION ONLINE
- [The Sacramento Bar Association Journal carried an article a year or so ago,
- urging that the press pay as much attention to the judicial branch of
- government as they pay to the executive and legislative branches - proposing
- that it needs the same level of vigilent public oversight as do the better-
- known branches. What a provocative thought. I asked some questions about
- online access to court records. --jim]

-
- I can answer at least some of your questions. "EDOS" stands for
- Electronic Dissemination of Opinion System, an effort by the
- federal intermediate appellate courts to provide electronic
- copies of their respective courts' opinions via their own BBSes.
- As far as I know, these systems now are free. The Tenth Circuit
- EDOS (for the court hearing appeals from federal trial courts in
- Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma)
- includes copies of its opinions less than 90 days old.
-
- "PACER" stands for Public Access to Court Electronic, or
- something like that. It's the system used by the bankruptcy
- courts and many if not all federal district courts to provide
- information about the status of cases. This is a fee-based
- system.
-
- The Federal Circuit's EDOS numbers are 202-786-6504 and 202-633-9608.

- The office overseeing the online efforts of the federal courts is:
- Administrative Office of the United States Courts
- Technology Enhancement Office
- Washington, DC 20544

- I obtained most of this information from The Legal List ver. 5.0,

- CPSR is a highly respected group, whose members are well informed.
-
- The 1,800 members of CPSR have an awareness about the potential

- personalize the interface from an otherwise large impersonal society
- to the individual, but the also understand the large potential
- risk inherent in the use of computers and computer technology by
- individuals, governments, and corporations. CPSR asks questions such
- as, "Will there be equal access to the Information Superhighway"
- (also called the "Infobahn" or NII)? What can we do to lessen the gap
- between those who are "information-rich" and those who are
- "information-poor?"

- BROKEN ELM BRANCHES
-
- Recently your GovAccess posts have been confusing my mailreader (Elm).
- When you 'repost' a message in the list sometimes you leave the header
- in its original form. The "From xxx@xxx" looks like a real message to
- my reader. The other 2 forms ">From xxx@xxx" and "From: xxx@xxx" are ok.
-
- ==to which I replied==
- Thanks for the heads-up about ELM confusion. Will *try* to remember to
- modify the msg source-lines, but won't guarantee it. Large task; small mind.

- Comic Relief
- AWARDS TO CELEBRATE BEST USES OF "INFORMATION HIGHWAY"
- >From les@SAIL.Stanford.EDU Fri Oct 14 16:15:46 1994
-
- [. . .]
- We're looking for the success stories and examples of electronic
- commerce, community and health networks, virtual libraries, distance
- learning, online information services, collaborative work and more. It
- doesn't matter whether you're using the Internet or ATM.
-
- I wonder if they would consider an award for the first commercial use
- of the network, which I believe was a drug deal betweeen grad students
- at Stanford and MIT circa 1970.
