[LM_NET] Target: Electronic Portfolio and copyright permissions

[Anne Oelke <anne@OELKE.COM>]

I have started an electronic portfolio as part of a class that I
took.  Currently I have it on my personal website,
http://www.oelke.com/people/anne/portfolio/intropage.htm  I've thought
about adding some artifacts about being proactive about pending legislation
(I'm not usually a very political person).  I've emailed my state
legislators regarding pending bills for school funding and library
funding.  I've received both email and written letters from them--form
letters of course.  I've thought about including the text of my email to
the legislators and their replies as artifacts.  Would I need permission
from the individuals to include this in my portfolio?  Would I need
permission if it were part of an electronic portfolio that was not "public"
as my current one is?
