According to The Hill<\/a>, The Republican Study Committee (RSC) declared Monday [March 1, 2010]\u00a0a “Twitter Day,” encouraging its members to tweet about their “commitment,” or favorite issue in Congress.\u00a0Fifty members of the RSC, a group of conservative House Republicans, are reported to have joined in.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/p>\n

Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) tweeted<\/a>: My commitment is health reform that empowers patients and not Washington.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
