Michael Webb thinks that Dave Winer should ought to pitch a deal to equip every member of Congress with a copy of Radio8. "If they all weblogged, think of the possiblities... They could keep constituants informed of their daily efforts and frustrations, pass interesting proposals, articles and legislation around, developing a community that would show democracy in action. A person could keep score by seeing who is blogrolling whom, dip back in the archive to see how they are doing on their promises, give email feedback on current events and legislation, lobby openly, etc. The Congressperson would have a platform for pitching their pet causes, sending photos, audio, argue back and forth, sound off for the record, and rant. It would beat traditional media, and no one could complain about the price," he said.
