Wired Politicians
I love having this outlet…this blog…where I can vent whatever thoughts I want to publicly vent. I first started blogging in March of 2003. It has brought me a lot of pleasure and a lot of knowledge as people have interacted with me online. All of this is just a hobby for me and I don’t contend that the world is any better a place because I have this silly blog posted out on the internet.
When this same technology I enjoy as just a hobby is used by people we have elected to run our government something special takes place. An extremely effective channel of two way communication is opened up between voters and and those endowed with the power granted by those voters.
The Senate Site has a post up today asking for suggestions on how they can make better use of technology in furthering their goals to maintain an open line of communication with Utahns willing to hear them out on their webpage. Check it out and give them some feedback. I usually disagree with their policy positions but am still really grateful for the work done on that webpage to keep all of us connected to the political process.

Thanks J.
We appreciate your insight on our site and right here. Even when we see things differently, it’s pretty damn healthy for folks to be able to access a diversity of perspective. I like how you talked about communication between voters and “those endowed with the power granted by those voters.” A healthy perspective, and a good reminder for those of us temporarily entrusted.
Keep it up.
