It's been an exciting week.  Our little network is taking shape, and starting to settle down.  Details are getting filled in, things are starting to work better, people are getting more comfortable.

In this message, I want to mention two things:

1)  Your sign-in information (email address and password) are included at the bottom of this message.  Please keep this information private. Don't forward it to your friends or contacts without deleting your password.

2) In response to many requests, I have begun developing a "digest" subscription option, for people who don't want to unsubscribe, but who prefer to receive the multiple messages of the day bundled up into one message.

At the bottom of every email message you received through the USA.CAN network (or one of the StateName.CAN networks, or an issue or special-purpose network), there is a link to "Subscribe / Unsubscribe".  If you click that link, it will now take you to a form that looks like this (this is a graphic, not a live form): 

The digest format is not fully working yet, but I'll get that done soon.  In the meantime, thanks for your patience -- or sign-in now and select the digest format, and you'll start getting them when I get it working. 

With a little more tuning, we'll get this form to recognize you if you have ever signed in, and you won't have to enter your password.  For now, we need the password to keep this process secure (in case people forward our messages around the internet to their contacts and friends).

We're excited about our network, we're excited about the people on our network, and we're looking forward to some new possibilities across the political landscape, as we work together to reinforce and actualize that resonating drumbeat -- Yes We Can...

With appreciation,
