Ryan, thank you for the helpful links and for sharing the video. I echo you in that I also hope it does show more of the value in utilizing these tools. It’ll make many jobs not only easier, but also make work processes more efficient and better engage the public with government. Thanks again!

Yeah, you really have seen Congress embrace social media for building communities while the Executive Branch has let it alone. Isn’t that a good thing though?

With the “I feel your pain” presidency, haven’t we set this expectation that one man can be in touch with and listen to the problems of 250+ million people? It seems kind of crazy to me.

It’s the reason why I think the founders made the the Legislative Branch the most powerful. Members of the House of Representatives may represent 600,000 (i think). While that’s still large, now you’re talking about a constituency thats actually manageable. Its something where you could voice your concern and actually expect to get some type of answer.
