A report released by the Congressional Research Service shows that Republicans have a significant lead on Democrats when it comes to utilizing Twitter and other New Media. The Republican Conference has taken great pride that its Members to do a better job of communicating with their constituents in an efficient, open and transparent manner.
It's interesting to note that Republican Congresspeople are more likely to write their own tweets, as compared to their Democrat counterparts. This begs the question: Why must these Members have a press secretary write everything for them? Can't they think for themselves?
During this month's snow storm in Washington, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, has been welcomed to 2008, finally getting a Twitter account. @LeaderHoyer
Feel free to ask him why his Members are afraid to be as open as Republicans.
