Many would be MRGRG Participants
have told me that the Web Forms we are pointing them to
are too much trouble to use, and I will agree that that
statement is true if you do not have "Form Fill" as part
of your browser.
Form fill is a function that is built into many browsers
which will automatically fill in the personal
information that is asked for by Web Forms. I use
Netscape 7.2 and it has the Form fill function built in.
I also have Internet Explorer 6.0 which does not have
the Form Fill function built in.
Goggle has made it possible for you to add a Form Fill
function to your Internet Explorer. It may be possible
to add this feature to other browsers, but I'm not sure.
I will not be able to give you all the details of how to
install the Google tool bar that contains the Form Fill
function, but I will point you in the right direction.
Goto
http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/ , scroll
down, and find "
Toolbar
Add a search box to your browser".
If you click on this link you will start the
installation process. WARNING: If you go beyond this
point then you must be computer literate because there
are a number of variables to consider, and I do not have
answers to your questions.
The Congress did away with their e-mail addresses to cut
down on the number of messages they receive, and have
tried to confine inputs to just their constituents, and
are now using Web Forms. As a result I'm sure they have
achieved what they wanted, less e-mail.
Lately we have been asking people to use FAXes and Web
Forms and we can see that participation is way down. The
only solution I can offer is to ask you to use a Form
Fill function to avoid all the typing that is necessary
to use the Web Forms. I'm quite sure that if I had to
type in my personal information over and over I would
not use the Web Forms.
