-----------------------------------------------------------------
Description:  GovernMail is a new program which links people with
government representatives around the world.  The program features
an easy-to-use interface which quickly links users to the main
portions of the program, US government, International governments,
multimedia links, and other links.

GovernMail features complete listings of US House and Senate members
so users can visit their representatives or representatives around
the United States.  Users can email representatives individually
or select groups of representatives to email. GovernMail allows
users to easily save their contact information and add it to email
messages so Congress members can respond.

In addition to the US representative listings, GovernMail also
brings users listings of World Parliamentary websites and listings
of World Leader sites and email addresses.

GovernMail also features a multimedia section so users can quickly
link to the latest political news sites.  Users can gain the latest
political news from popular news sources in US such as C-Span or CNN or
