The voters have not been happy with Congress of late, so both the House and the Senate have begun to blog daily to a public blog to increase transparency in the institution. Consider that while only House members are allowed to publish to the blog, it does have a healthy readership from across the country.
Partisanship in the blog: Remember this blog was created to make transparent the inner workings of the "do-nothing-Congress". Americans are already fed up with you, especially those active enough to read this blog. Any negativity you feel toward each other should be veiled, and ultimately, as frustration grows in committees, blamed on the other party of course!
Speak respectfully about each other, referring to another Congressperson with both a title and a home state. Congresswoman / Congressperson / my honorable colleague / etc...) ie. Congresswoman Montana Keys from California
POST TOPIC: What have you accomplished thus far in this session? What have been your successes and challenges? What legislation are you working on, and what do you think about it, and why? Be sure to
consider your demographics, your goals, party line and cross-pressures as well as the “permanent campaign”!) What do you want your constituents to know?

COMMITTEE CHAIRS CREATE A POST TITLED FOR YOUR COMMITTEE. Everyone else posts inside the stream of your own committee. House leaders and lobbyists - your committee's stream will provide valuable information as you strategize your way through to affecting the legislation you seek to impact. Skim the information already posted to avoid redundancy. Your constituency will appreciate such efficiency out of Congress.
