CONGRESS SET FOR DICK MORRIS INTERNET INVASION; BUYS VOTE.COM DOMAIN FOR $250,000!
**Exclusive**
Political wizard Dick Morris is on the verge of launching an ambitious Internet project -- a
project that may soon cause a complete headache for workers on Capitol Hill.
Starting this week, Morris, along with his wife Eileen McGann, will throw the switch on
VOTE.COM -- a website designed to service millions of voters and their opinions on hot issues.
The project came together after Morris purchased the Internet domain "VOTE.COM" for $250,000,
the DRUDGE REPORT has learned -- a near record price paid for any web address in the Internet
Era!
Like everything he touches, Morris is bound to create complete controversy with the new site.
Each time someone casts a vote on VOTE.COM, an e-mail will be automatically be sent to the
voter's own Congressman and Senator. And if Morris attracts million of voters to his website,
The Hill could soon be flooded with opinion and rants like never before.
"I don't know how we can possible digest millions of votes here," said one concerned
congressional staffer. "He's going to spam the Hill!"
"If members of Congress consider communications from their own constituents to be worthless
spam, then they are pork!" Morris declared over the weekend.
"It's not a poll," Morris explains in describing VOTE.COM. "In a poll, the politician finds out
what you think behind your back by interviewing a small sample of your neighbors and then
doesn't tell you his findings. VOTE.COM will be a good set of lungs you can borrow to shout
whenever you want and make them listen!"
The first week of VOTE.COM will features votes on school vouchers, hate crimes covering gays
and lesbians, lawsuits against HMOs and handguns for 21ers.
Morris continues: "Each time you vote, your Congressman or Senator get an e-mail. They they get
the tallies. Then we tell you how they voted on the issue. Then we send you a report card right
before Election Day on the issues on which you voted to remember when they voted the opposite."
Morris and McGann have partnered with Dick Scruggs, the key anti-tobacco lawyer who is featured
as a good guy in the INSIDER, the 60 MINUTES movie.
