Follow-up: Congress just a tweet away, too?
Note: This is a follow-up to my post yesterday about Twitter’s impact on this year’s election.
If you haven’t already heard, a big win came over the weekend in the form of Franking Reform that will open the doors to allow Congress to log on and communicate over the web with their constituents and anyone else out in the cloud. One of the main advocates for the reform, the Sunlight Foundation has been pushing the issue through their Let Our Congress Tweet campaign and Open House Project, collecting hundreds of “signatures” in the first Twitter-based petition to take to lawmakers.
Because of these reforms, you can now look forward to seeing your member of Congress on Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, etc. For now, you can see their action on the Twitter with Sunlight Foundation’s new widget, Capitol Tweets.
