            <title>Handful Of Lawmakers Give Twitter A Try</title>

<p>Reps. <strong><a href="http://twitter.com/johnculberson">John Culberson</a></strong>, R-Texas, and <strong><a href="http://twitter.com/timryan">Tim Ryan</a></strong>, D-Ohio, might be the most prominent <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter </a>users on Capitol Hill, but they aren't the only lawmakers utilizing the innovative social media platform to communicate with constituents. We uncovered a few other famous political faces who have posted short missives online -- some more recently and regularly than others (more screenshots after the jump.)</p>

<p>According to the Sunlight Foundation, other lawmakers appear to have Twitter accounts but it was unclear whether they actually update themselves -- like Rep. <strong>George Miller</strong>, D-Calif., and Sen. <strong>Jim DeMint</strong>, R-S.C. The foundation's <a href="http://letourcongresstweet.org/">Let Our Congress Tweet</a> campaign has received over 600 petitions since its launch a few weeks ago.</p>]]></description>
