Social Media and Congress
Via House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) - "YouCut – a first-of-its-kind project - is designed to defeat the permissive culture of runaway spending in Congress. It allows you to vote, both online and on your cell phone, on spending cuts that you want to see the House enact. Each week that the House is in session, we will take the winning item and offer it to the full House for an up-or-down vote, so that you can see where your representative stands on your priorities. Vote on this page today for your priorities and together we can begin to change Washington's culture of spending into a culture of savings."
- "On Tuesday [January 18, 2011], the House passed a bill to eliminate mandatory printing for every bill and resolution by axing the Government Printing Office — an initiative “crowd-sourced” by the public on YouCut. In addition, three new government subsidies were added to YouCut for the public to vote on."
