DeMint Harnessing Power of the Internet
U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint is using the Internet more than ever — perhaps more than any other Senator — to mobilize voters across the country behind some of his biggest issues, such as eliminating earmarks and strengthening the border.
He knows his ability to twist arms under the Capitol dome is often limited, but if he can craft a suitable message and spread it all over the Web, then eventually bloggers, talk radio hosts and the mainstream media will get the word out in a way DeMint never could before.
Jim DeMint is the taxpayer’s hero. He has been at the forefront of rooting out waste in the Federal Government and while fiscal conservatives across this country may be getting frustrated feeling that we are getting nowhere on restoring fiscal sanity, there has been slow progress. Just last week the House and Senate voted on an earmark moratorium. Granted, it failed, but the fact that the vote even took place was a monumental step forward.
