You’re on Twitter, right? I mean – who isn’t? Even your elected officials are likely on Twitter. You can find, follow and communicate with your Congressmen! All you need to do is head over to Tweet Congress to find out if your government leaders are Tweeting!

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.

We built this site to scratch our own itch. While searching for our local congressmen on Twitter we were amazed at how many folks on the Hill aren’t tweeting. This site is a grass-roots effort to get our men and women in Congress to open up and have a real conversation with us.

Fill in your address on the main page to find out if your Congressmen are already on Twitter. If they are not – sign the petition to get them there! You elected them… you have the right to have a conversation with them! Most elected officials honestly do want to hear from you. How else will they know what is in your best interest, unless you tell them?

I know one thing – if MY representatives don’t get themselves onto Twitter, I’m not going to vote for them! I feel they need to be more clued in to the way the World is communicating – 140 characters at a time.

Loose Change Second Edition was 100x better than Fahrenheit 9/11. You can watch it now online. And yes, I’m asking you to watch it now. Their film made much more sense to me than what I’ve been spoonfed by “the media” on information surrounding September 11th. Not to quote my favorite skeptic out of context, but even the original Dr. Phil is starting to get pissed off over what’s happening with our world these days (Is the government trying to kill us?). Make up your own mind, my friends – don’t let someone else make it up for you.
