The CDP Executive Board met at the Holiday Inn in San Jose on July 16-18, 2010. Our caucus was scheduled from 8-10pm, Friday the 16th. The hotel address is 1740 North First St, San Jose, 95112.
Dear Computer & Internet Caucus Members and Friends: Two months ago, the CDP launched the next phase of our Los Angeles Permanent Vote-by-Mail (PVBM) conversion program: www.OperationGameChanger.com The state party has been engaged in an effort to increase the number of LA County PVBM voters as a means of boosting statewide Democratic turnout. Los Angeles County is home to the highest number of Democratic voters with over 2 million but ranks dead last when it comes to voters registered to Vote-by-Mail. We’ve set out to change this and we’re getting some great results but this is the part where we really need you to step in and help us make a final goal line push. This Saturday, we are planning a Statewide Day of Action on the phones. You can call from your home, just sitting in front of your computer! Help boost statewide turnout by signing up more LA Democrats to vote by mail. Go to www.OperationGameChanger.com to sign up to volunteer – and you will receive an email on Saturday morning with instructions on how to phonebank from home! We really do have an opportunity to Change the Game for Democrats by improving our turnout numbers in the most populous Democratic County. This program is designed to help Democrats statewide, particularly statewide Democratic candidates and progressive ballot measures. We need your help to make it a success. Thank you,Brigette HunleyChair, CDP Computer & Internet Caucus

Here is a testimonial to the current success of the new media outreach program!
This email is from a training conducted on behalf of our caucus last week.
Brigette,
I want to echo Therese's thanks. We appreciate your coming all the way to Petaluma to train us. You took away much of the intimidation I was feeling with your clear instructions and step-by-step approach. Your training will ripple far and wide, as I will also be managing the Sonoma County Latino Democratic Club's site once we get plugged into the CDC, and Dan will be bringing another club up to speed with what we learned last night.
Thank you again,

Network Neutrality Discussion PanelThe phrase Network Neutrality describes networks that don't favor some destinations over others, or classes of application (for example the World Wide Web) over others (such as online gaming or Voice over IP).
However, several major Internet providers like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are trying to control access to the Internet by deciding which Web sites are best for you. The speed at which a website loads would be based on which site pays them the most.
This means that large corporations would have an unfair advantage over their smaller competitors as they will be able to afford to pay the most. This also means that startup sites with new ideas and applications will never get seen if they can't afford to pay the high fees to get their sites viewed.
In addition, this will allow ISPs to control which websites you have access to. There have already been several documented cases where ISPs have blocked access to various sites:
A major communications bill that addresses Net Neutrality is in front of Congress right now and is in danger of being defeated by the large corporations if we don't speak up.

- Time Warner's AOL blocked all emails that mentioned www.dearaol.com -- an advocacy campaign opposing the company's pay-to-send e-mail scheme.
- Canada's telephone giant Telus blocked customers from visiting a Web site sympathetic to the Telecommunications Workers Union during a contentious labor dispute.
