Reach Out And Touch... A Congresscritter On Twitter

I have to admit it-- I probably get leads to more than half the stories I do for the blog via Twitter. That's because I've figured out who to follow who actually gets news out there even before A.P. or CNN (just kidding about CNN... typically they're so far behind the timeline that they're not worth paying any attention to at all). Among the twitter feeds I follow are several Members of Congress. Some of them do their own tweeting and some have staffers that do it for them. Below is a list of all the House Members that I know of who are on twitter, with their addresses, of course, and some other pertinent information you may find useful.

So, does it do any good to tweet these guys directly? I'm not sure but I bet it has more impact than signing one of those DCCC online petitions looking to mine e-mail addresses for future fund-raising drives that sucker progressive activists into contributing money that goes to finance campaigns of Blue Dogs and other conservative quasi-Democrats.

By the way, here are the twitter e-mails of the Blue America House candidates:
