Why is it ridiculous that tweeting would be taken seriously?Why would the form of communication matter? Elected representative "should" listen to their constituents by most definitions, and a tweet is just as valid a form of communication as any otherb- and hard to ignore because it is public.

How would an elected official know the tweet actually came from a constituent?

How would they know a yell or a letter came from a constituent?

A letter at least has a local USPS stamp on which postal office first received it.
