To approve the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and between the Company and Computer Assisted Learning and Instruction, Inc., a Utah corporation ("CALI"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 4. To transact such other business as may properly be brought before the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on December 29, 2000, as the record date for the Special Meeting or any adjournments thereof. Only stockholders of record on the stock transfer books of the Company at the close of business on that date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting. THE DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY AND THEIR AFFILIATES CONTROL MORE THAN A MAJORITY OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK. ACCORDINGLY, THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS IS ASSURED. WHETHER OR NOT YOU EXPECT TO BE PRESENT AT THE SPECIAL MEETING, YOU ARE URGED TO FILL IN, DATE, SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY IN THE ENVELOPE THAT IS PROVIDED, WHICH REQUIRES NO POSTAGE IF MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES. By Order of the Board of Directors Kevin C. Baer Secretary Tempe, Arizona January 2, 2001 POLITICS.COM, INC. PROXY STATEMENT This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Politics.com, Inc. (the "Company") for use at a Special Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on January 31, 2001, at the time and place set forth in the notice of the meeting, and at any adjournments thereof. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and form of proxy are first being sent to stockholders is January 2, 2001. If the enclosed proxy is properly executed and returned, it will be voted in the manner directed by the stockholder. If no instructions are specified with respect to any particular matter to be acted upon, proxies will be voted in favor thereof. Any person giving the enclosed form of proxy has the power to revoke it by voting in person at the meeting, or by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company at any time before the proxy is exercised. The holders of a majority in interest of all common stock, par value $.00001 per share ("Common Stock") issued, outstanding and entitled to vote are required to be present in person or to be represented by proxy at the meeting in order to constitute a quorum for transaction of business. Approval of all proposals on the agenda for the Special Meeting of stockholders will be decided by a majority vote of the Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting. Abstentions and "non-votes" are counted as present in determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied. Abstentions and "non-votes" have the same effect as votes against proposals presented to stockholders. A "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal, but does not vote on another proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. The Company will bear the cost of the solicitation. It is expected that the solicitation will be made primarily by mail, but regular employees or representatives of the Company (none of whom will receive any extra compensation for their activities) may also solicit proxies by telephone, telegraph and in person and arrange for brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and proxy materials to their principals at the expense of the Company. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 2530 South Rural Road, Tempe, Arizona 85282 and its telephone number is (480) 858-0016. RECORD DATE AND VOTING SECURITIES Only stockholders of record at the close of business on December 29, 2000 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. On that date, the Company had outstanding and entitled to vote 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock entitles the record holder to one vote. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth as of December 29, 2000 certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock by: (i) each person known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the Company's Common Stock; (ii) each of the Company's directors, (iii) each of the executive officers of the Company; and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group. This information is based upon information received from or on behalf of the named individual. Unless otherwise noted, each person identified possesses sole voting and investment power over the shares listed. Amount and Nature of Name of Beneficial Percent of Beneficial Owner Ownership Class ______________ __________ _________ Howard R. Baer 6,598,045 55.0% Kevin C. Baer 2,955,000 24.6% Burt Alimansky 30,000 0.3% All executive officers and directors as a group (3 persons) 9,583,045 79.9% Proposal 1: The Company's Board of Directors has unanimously approved, and for the reasons described below recommends that the Company's stockholders approve, the distribution of the Company's ownership interest in New Politics to the Company's stockholders (the "Spin Off"). Pursuant thereto, each stockholder of record as of the close of business on January 5, 2001 would receive one share of New Politics for every share of the Company held by such stockholder. Each fractional share will be rounded up to the next highest whole share of New Politics. Approval of the Spin Off is a condition precedent to the Reorganization Agreement described below under Proposal 3. The Spin Off will allow the Company's current management to continue the Company's historical business as well as to continue to seek a third party buyer of the Company's historical assets while allowing the Company's new business described under Proposal 3 to operate and grow independently. Proposal 2: The Company's Board of Directors has unanimously approved, and for the reasons described below recommends that the Company's stockholders approve, a one for ten reverse stock split of the Company's common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). No fractional shares or script representing fractional shares of the Company's common stock will be issued. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, each fractional share will be rounded up to the next highest whole share of the Company's common stock. The principal reasons to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split are to reduce the number of shares of the Company's common stock that are outstanding, and to increase the price per share of the Company's common stock. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will provide for a sufficient number of shares of the Company's common stock to effectuate the transactions set forth under Proposal 3. The Reverse Stock Split will be effectuated as quickly as practicable following the Special Meeting. Proposal 3: The Company's Board of Directors has unanimously approved, and for the reasons described below recommends that the stockholders approve, The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and between the Company and Computer Assisted Learning and Instruction, Inc., a Utah corporation ("CALI"), dated December 15, 2000 (the 5t"Reorganization Agreement"). A copy of the Reorganization Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. According to the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, the shareholders of CALI shall exchange 100% of the outstanding common stock of CALI for shares of the Company's common stock representing approximately 85.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. CALI shall then be merged with and into the Company and the Company shall change its name to "English Language Learning and Instruction System, Inc."

Since its inception, CALI has been involved in two primary functions: - the development of a core set of products designed to ease and improve the teaching and learning of English for students speaking a variety of other languages. This core set of products, now numbering more than twenty, was named ELLIS (for "English Language Learning and Instruction System") in 1992, and they have now become recognized as the most effective products of their type in this market. The ELLIS products have won several industry awards and many favorable reviews from educators. - the distribution of these products within the United States and internationally to a growing range and diversity of organizations, including businesses, schools and academic institutions, through a network of agents and distributors. In addition, CALI has dealt directly with government agencies and businesses in the U.S. and several other countries, leading to the development and sale of specialized versions of the core ELLIS products.
