My recommendation

If you're not already following the White House blog, I encourage you to do so. For those not aware, the Clinton White House had a great website, and provided mailing lists on a variety of topics, which was a good way to keep on eye on the happenings in D.C.

The Bush administration was practically covert in terms of their direct communication with citizens, which I feel is counter to the spirit of democracy.

It is refreshing to have this sort of daily access again. The more of us who use this tool during this presidency, the more likely, I hope, it will be that future administrations choose to provide direct communication channels to the people.

Here's hoping.
