Congressmen Blogging

Published 26 January 06 07:31 AM | michaelaffronti 

There are now at least 11 confirmed Congressmen blogging on either their own sites or as guest authors on different political sites.  Why is this cool?  Most people don't associate political figures with blogs in a good light, let alone having them blog completely on their own (whether or not the content is proofed before it hits the web is a separate issue). 

"When I reach out to the blog community, it gives me an opportunity to begin a dialogue with an extremely politically sophisticated and active community that I otherwise might not be able to reach," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., wrote in an e-mail to CNET News.com.

A plea to MSFT to withdraw support from gay rights measure adding "sexual orientation" to a Washington state law in addition to race, gender, age, disability, religion and marital status. I do not stand in judgment of gays but am extremely fearful of the increasing emergence of pedophiles - pedophiles are no doubt jumping up and down exuberantly with the addition of this loophole that will give them a defense of their hideous perverted actions and escalate the destruction of our children.
PLEASE DON'T BE A PART OF IT.
