This is a great idea - good way to teach civics

One of the results of the Tea Parties is more average Joes are getting involved with politics. People are concerned with the huge increase in spending by the federal government.

I like Instapundit's idea on a way for people to be more involved:

"Another suggestion: show up at your Congressman's local town meetings with a half dozen friends and ask tough questions. He or she will notice or at least be uncomfortable."

(Glenn is building on his wife's post about this topic.)

I wonder how many views on Youtube it would take before a politician would sit up and take notice. Does a mayor of an average size city worry about a hundred views, or does it take more? Would a congressman notice a thousand views? Or would it take more?

I'll have to check out when my congressman will be holding town meetings next.
