Here are some useful ideas and bits of history from postings in
response to ours at AlGore04. We will add suggestions and
create the links to make these snips more useful as soon as we
can. One of the responses suggested an Internet event to thank,
not Mr. Gore only, but everyone who made significant contribution
to the development of the Internet, quite appropriate.  Because
a speech Mr. Gore gave on the anniversary of ENIAC was
provided through a link from one of the posters, I thought that
Valentines Day would be a good time to have the Internet event
another poster suggested. People could sign Valentines to the
various people who worked to develop the Internet, with some
space for a thank you message.
 

Maybe AlGore04 could set up a "Click Here", that visitors
could use to show appreciation of Gore's vision and work re: the Internet?
 
 

Newt Gingrich, 9/1/00: "Gore is the person who, in the Congress, most systematically
worked to make sure that we got to an Internet."

Some snips below from http://thomas.loc.gov/
 Consider all of the research, hearings, meetings, speeches, etc. required to push this
work through Congress.

And as Vice-President, Gore continued his work to promote and improve the Internet.
