<p>You&#8217;re on Twitter, right? I mean &#8211; who isn&#8217;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 <a href="http://tweetcongress.org/">Tweet Congress</a> to find out if your government leaders are Tweeting!</p>
<blockquote><p>
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. </p>
<p> 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&#8217;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.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Fill in your address on the main page to find out if your Congressmen are already on Twitter. If they are not &#8211; sign the petition to get them there! You elected them&#8230; 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?</p>
<p>I know one thing &#8211; if <strong>MY</strong> representatives don&#8217;t get themselves onto Twitter, I&#8217;m not going to vote for them! I feel they need to be more clued in to the way the World is communicating &#8211; 140 characters at a time. </p>
