Keep an Eye on Congress

CSPAN junkies get ready, YouTube is bringing the world a whole new way to watch what goes on in the halls of Congress. The recently introduced House Hub and Senate Hub on YouTube are designed to let lawmakers create their own video channels to promote their agenda and communicate with constituents. The design of the site makes it easy for you to find your local representative and subscribe to his or her videos.

The video introduction from Congressional leaders like Nancy Pelosi and is awkward and strained, but the channel itself has potential as a way to increase political awareness and involvement.
