Ted & Me

I am a recently self-employed political consultant who specializes in helping my clients utilize the Internet. Last year my business partner, Jeremy Dorin, and I founded CaseyDorin Internet Productions to develop Internet campaigns for our first two clients, Senate candidates Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton.

Previously I was employed in the United States Senate, by the Democratic Technology and Communications Committee, part of the Democratic Leadership Committees. My job is to help Senate Democrats get online.

Previously I was employed in the Office of Senator Edward Kennedy where I kept busy with my efforts to help the Senator reach out to and communicate with his constituents electronically, advise him on technology related issues, and keep a network of Mac's up and running. Kennedy's office first went online in 1993, and in the spring of '94 he became the first member of Congress with a home page on the Web. As a volunteer with Kennedy for Senate in 1994, I helped bring one of the first Congressional campaigns to the Web, and Kennedy back to the Senate.

With the help of my friend Jeff Hecker, I created CapWeb a hypertext guide to Congress and Legislative branch resources on the Internet. Please pay it a visit, and don't forget to sign the guestbook!

Talkin' & Writin'

On May 27th I participated in a panel discussion at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on the subject "The State of Online Politics". What? You missed it? Not to worry, you can watch it online right now!

I have written a book about Congress' efforts to get on the Internet and how you can best use their online resources. Titled The Hill On The Net: Congress Enters The Information Age, it is published by AP Professional

An pair of articles I wrote, The Senate's New Online Majority, and The Senate's New Online Majority: Part II appeared in Computer Mediated Communications Magazine.

In August '94, I was a guest on the radio program, The Communications Revolution on the topic of Democratic Access to Government Information.
