Tweet Congress

Are members of Congress hip to Twitter? You bet! The folks over at tweetcongress.org built their site to open up a direct line between twitterers and their elected officials in Washington. Their mantra:

We the Tweeple of the United States, in order to form a more perfect government, establish communication, and promote transparency do hereby tweet the Congress of the United States of America.

See how democracy is functioning in 140 characters or less (with nifty stats and charts, too).
