The Congressional "franking" oversight committee is crazy.
A young, aggressive US Congressman in Texas has been blogging so his constiuents can keep abreast of his ideas...and he can hear their considerations.
How novel....
And the House Chairman of the franking committee worries that the blogging doesn't measure up to the "official communication" that comes out of that office on behalf of every Member of Congress...C'mon.
Those franking pieces by Craig, Simpson, Sali and Crapo are crap...sorry, had to position the sentence that way (tee hee). They really are. I mean, c'mon...do elected officials REALLY want to hear from their constituents via those "surveys", etc? Are you kidding? You think so? Say it to me with a straight face...
Then this guy comes along in Tx and wants honest dialog via blogging and it's a NO-NO.
Hmmm...maybe we should just restrict communication to the telegraph - after all it worked for folks in the past.
