of Internet and Politics."

Steve is described as:

...a tireless advocate for expanding the use of the Internet. in both 
informing the public about the political and government systems, and 
also in engaging citizens and policymakers in political debate. His 
positive, yet realistic outlook regarding the state of Internet 
engagement and political involvement today provides both an 
inspiration to those who will lead the way in the future and a sound 
criticism of what works, what doesn't, and how to move forward. He 
has become a foremost authority in E-democracy advancements, and his 
speaking engagements and written work are a strong testament to his 
commitment to the field.

Congratulations Steve and keep that star rising!
