TweetCongress.org - Tweeting The Congress Of The USA

TweetCongress is a new initiative that has the aim of establishing communication with the congress of the United States of America via Twitter. This way, a government that would better-represent the people and its needs would be realized, and proceedings would have added transparency.

The site has a list of the Congressmen that are being followed right now, and the number of followers is clearly specified. If your Congresstweeple is not already part of the list, chances are he or she is not a Twitter user, but a search tool is provided for you to find that out.

At the end of the day, this initiative aims to foster communication between lawmakers and the ones who put them in that trusted position to begin with – we, the voters. It is a very good chance of having a say in the way things shape up, and if your congressman is featured on the list you should consider start following him and showing him your support and put forward any constructive criticism you might have.

“We believe transparent government is better government. Twitter enables real conversation between lawmakers and voters, in real time. Find your representatives in Congress, follow them and give them a tweet full!”

It is an effective way of building up a bridge between lawmakers and voters.
