It engages in public education and advocacy on these issues, both locally and on the Internet, and provides low-cost computer rental and training services in its Internet Learning Center to broaden Internet access.
• Real Choice is an Internet web which gives information for reaching the various third parties currently active in the United States. The entire political spectrum from right to left is surveyed, and detailed information on the politics of these third parties is presented. For each state, you can find out how to contact the third parties operating there, and links are given to sources of important related information. Of particular interest is a petition to the Federal Communications Commission which asserts that most broadcasters have been violating their legal obligation to operate in the public interest when they don't inform the public about all the choices on the ballot.
