Congressman Denny Rehberg Joins Twitter
Posted on Wednesday, August 6th, 2008
The #dontgo movement accomplished many things in its first week of action. Many of which we’ll be talking about during the month of August. But today I want to point out one thing specifically… the fact that the GOP Congress has begun embracing Twitter and other social media tools.
This morning I was informed that Congressman Denny Rehberg has stepped in to the #dontgo movement via Twitter, joining six other Representatives in using Twitter for collaborative politics.
Congressman John Culberson got all of this started back when he ignited a Congressional firestorm over his use of Twitter on the House floor. Since then, more and more Republicans are seeing the light and beginning to open up a channel of online dialog with those of us looking to interact.
It’s very refreshing to say the least, and I hope to see more Representatives join in on the action.
You can also catch Rep. Dan Burton, Leader Boehner, Rep. Eric Cantor, Rep. Pete Hoekstra and Rep. Rob Wittman.

Republicans should set up a speakers platform on the Capital Steps so they could record video and put it up on youtube. Handheld video cameras are fine, as long as the sound is good. Video sells ideas and communicates best. It also plays better for the TV channels.
You guys rock!!!! Keep it up. Love the site. Glad to see you have joined the alternative media.

Agree 100% with this. It *seems* the conservative base is really becoming energized and stepping away from the negative, complaining defeatism. May it be so!
IMHO this is one of the most important, pivotal times in our short 200+ years of history.
