Tweet Congress Wins Activism Category of the Twelfth Annual South by Southwest Web Awards

TweetCongress.org has created a website that allows people to search by location and find out if their Congressman or Senator is on Twitter — and if they aren't, people sign a petition asking them to join Twitter. The goal is to aid in transparency and communication between elected officials and constituents. Tweet Congress was created by Addison, TX-based Squeejee.
