We need more Members of Congress like Eric Cantor and more talented, tech-savvy staffers like his spokesblogger, Matt Lira.

I was checking out my incoming tweets and I got the following ping from @EricCantor: "Peter Hardin at the Richmond Times-Dispatch published an interesting article on our online efforts."

I read the article Cantor was sending around to his tweets. It's a great story about Cantor's use of the Internet and gives proper credit to the staffer behind the effort, Matt Lira. Nice work Team Cantor.

This is how Members of Congress can and should be effectively communicating... even in the minority.

Hey Congressman --- PLEASE tell the rest of your caucus.
