In my view contemporary law makers cannot ignore power of social media. But I am sceptical of the productive use.

They could use every social media platform. Twitter would be the easiest to receive the quickest feedback. Facebook would allow users to have more in-depth explanations and input. It would be very useful for lawmakers to do this because they would get more feedback than if they simply used the input that they receive via snail mail. I think that lawmakers do not look for input very far or in-depth. It would be nice to see our lawmakers going that extra step by talking to the community and public by asking for their input.
