Make sure to check out Jack Kingston's blog

Jack Kingston has the best blog (and it's an award-winning blog) that I've seen from a politician. He and his staff post frequent updates about various topics being argued before the House. He offers his opinions and provides explanations for his positions. He provides podcasts and links to videos. And the site allows comments. That's brave in this era of flame wars, but the dialogue seems to be very civil. I usually have agreed with him in the comments I've made, but I was still treated courteously when I didn't agree. Feel free to go there and let your voice be heard.

Responsive and accountable politicians who take steps such as this should be applauded and encouraged for reaching out to their constituents. That's a good thing to see no matter what your ideology is. The more of this, the better.
