Pete Stark (Rep CA) goes high tech on SOTU response; cool idea for others!

[BlueInRed]

Pete Stark came up with a really interesting way to shake things up to respond to Bush and the GOP. I think it would be great if this idea spread. Full story at: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/02/05/BAGDGB6A5O1.DTL

Fremont Rep. Pete Stark made a little bit of congressional and high- tech history Friday by becoming the first member of Congress to post a video clip on his official Web site.

His 3 1/2-minute blistering response to President Bush's State of the Union speech on Wednesday night is part of a new program devised by Democratic activists to let members of Congress communicate directly with their constituents by video. Republicans are expected to follow suit, and soon.

The effort is headed by Advocacy Inc., a small Washington-based firm that has done work for MoveOn.org, the Berkeley-based organization that became a major force mobilizing anti-Bush sentiment in the 2004 election campaign.
