Your Thoughts on the Stimulus? Here's Your Direct Line to Congress
Wednesday, February 18, 2009
A month ago,
we announced
that Congress has come to YouTube - you can now find your Senator's and Representative's YouTube channels at the
Senate Hub
and the
House Hub
. Now, we're making it even easier for you to engage with your leaders and tell them what you think.
Each week, we'll highlight a video from a member of Congress that solicits questions or input from you about the country's most pressing issues. Using
Google's new Moderator tool
, you'll be able to not only submit your own responses through text, but also vote on other people's responses -- allowing the best submissions to rise to the top.
Today, we're kicking off with
Senator John Cornyn
(R-TX) who wants to know what you think about the economic stimulus package recently passed by Congress:
Do you think the stimulus package will succeed in creating more jobs for Americans? Was there something missing from the package? Head over to the
Senate Hub
to make your voice heard, then check back in a week to hear what Senator Cornyn has to say about the top responses.
Finally, this is the first time we've tried using Google Moderator on a YouTube channel, so let us know what you think.
Yours,
Ramya Raghavan
