Can a federal employee be forced to tweet?


Akin registered an account, kept it private for a week or so, and then shut it down. He should be tweeting every single vote he makes, and at least a 140 character reason for every vote he skips. That's not too much to ask of an employee of his caliber and he knows it. This is unacceptable. I didn't vote for Akin because I disagree with virtually everything he says, does, and is, but I can say he's an honest Christian, which means absolutely nothing to me if he won't answer the simple question of "What are you doing?" while he is representing me to my clients with his co-workers.

I wonder what that first Tweet was...

I don't get it ... you want to demand constituents be forced to join a corporate social network in order to access information about their representative's actions?

Yes.
