U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) continues to break new ground in the world of tech + politics.

His latest offering is termed a "Web Presentation" on a bill Cantor authored, the Middle Class Jobs Protection Act. The presentation is essentially a documentary on the bill -- a more modern press release if you will.

Check it out here.

Another dollop of porridge to Congressman Cantor and his eGuru Matt Lira.

A few highlights:
* The video is really, really good. Some might even call it "artsy." A particularly good use of lighting on the interviewed subjects.
* I actually read the bullet points on what the bill would do. It's refreshing to see just the right amount of text. When it comes to policy, less is more (sometimes).
* The diamond of the operation which shows a smart use of the product is the email capture where you can sign-up "To Support This Legislation as a Citizen Co-Sponsor." This should add more contacts to Cantor's growing email list of citizens actually interested in what he has to say.

FINAL THOUGHT: Matt and I go back and forth about his use of a custom flash player (rather than using YouTube), but I think it works well in this instance. He needs the entire real estate to effectively distribute the message and I think this product does just that. Keep up the good work.
