Oh be careful little thumbs what you tweet, oh be careful little thumbs what you tweet, for your opponents up above are looking down with love…Twitter is not for those politicians who have a tendency to run off at the thumb. From KMOX:
Wondering what your state lawmaker is doing right now? Head to Twitter, where dozens of Missouri legislators are using the micro-blogging Web site to broadcast an inside scoop about the workings of government.
The Missouri House leader alerts Twitter users before he brings a bill up for debate. And during any given debate, numerous lawmakers are typing rapidly on their wireless devices posting short updates about what’s going on.
Lawmakers use Twitter to offer opinions on legislation, chastise political opponents and solicit reaction from the public that has occasionally shaped discourse in the Capitol.
