Eleven Members of Congress Have Blogs

Posted on January 28, 2006

CNET has an article that discusses the growing number of blogs by U.S. lawmakers and lists some of them. Some of the congressional bloggers include John Conyers Jr., Barack Obama, Dennis Hastert, Mark Steven Kirk and Tom Tancredo. Of the lawmakers listed with blogs, Senator Harry Reid's blog has the best name so far. His blog is called Give 'Em Hell Harry.

The article says that some members of the House of Representatives and the Senate are also interacting with the blogging community. Senator John Kerry even recently posted on the Daily Kos blog community.

The article says that are just eleven members of Congress with blogs. However, we should see more lawmaker blogs come online as we start getting closer to the 2006 midterm elections in November.
