Republicans to Stream Opening of Congress on Facebook

by Stephan Tawney on January 4, 2011

House Republicans, many of whom have already conquered Twitter, will stream tomorrow’s opening of the 112th Congress on Facebook.

Tomorrow, House Republicans will live stream the opening session of the 112th Congress – including the swearing-in ceremony and remarks by Speaker-designate John Boehner (R-OH) – on the Pledge to America Facebook Page. The House will convene and the stream will go live at 12:00 p.m. ET.

This is the first time an opening session of Congress has been broadcast live on Facebook where visitors can interact and discuss the event with others, and offer feedback directly to elected representatives.

I’d also recommend the Twitter feed of John Boehner.
