What Georgi did was create the 'nuclear e-mail message,'

My mother answers all my fan mail.

I have 150 kids on my master e-mail list for the Playhouse, and I hand-picked the 22 I felt had the strongest voices and stage presence. Our whole mission is to get kids involved in the arts, so this was a great opportunity for them and for the Playhouse. These kids will be the best chorus the tour has ever had.

There's such a large direct mail campaign for all of the services. Names of people who aren't eligible to enlist are sometimes included.

It was awesome. When that notification came in the mail, it was a huge weight off my shoulders.

There's a lot of concern about the dependability of touch-screen voting, for example. Vote by mail may be low tech, but it works.
