HOUSE Republican Leader John Boehner

A Qik Alternative To House Democrats’ Restrictive New Rules

In the video below Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) and Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) discuss an alternative to House Democrats’ proposed rules that would restrict the use of new technology by Members of Congress. Rep. Culberson was able to publish this video live via his mobile phone using Qik, one of the cutting-edge tools that House Democrats are threatening to ban.

House Republicans understand that technologies such as Qik, Twitter, and YouTube can help members better communicate with their constituents and increase transparency in government.  This is why Leader Boehner has asked Speaker Pelosi to join Republicans in opposing this new government censorship of the Internet.
