In what amounts to another sign that House Republicans are starting to make up some ground in online communications, GOP Whip Eric Cantor has posted a video calling for citizens to submit their own videos that offer their unique ideas for how to get the economy moving again. Check it out below:
Cantor’s video is already a smash hit with over 89,000 views and dozens of comments in just a couple of days. As of 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday afternoon, it was YouTube’s 2nd most viewed News and Politics video of the day, and the 21st most viewed online video in the world on Sunday.
And now some taxpayers (like me) and taxpayer advocacy groups like the National Taxpayers Union are producing their own videos and posting them as responses to Cantor’s video. The NTU video (full disclosure – I produced the video) is below, as is my personal response to Cantor’s plea:
This is all good progress. Cantor would be wise to quickly follow up his video with another one that shows him responding to some of the videos and other feedback that the first one generated. Maybe even respond to some of the negative comments or any nasty e-mails that have come in from people advocating more spending or higher taxes.
Then we’ll be engaging in an effective two-way conversation, as opposed to simply using the Internet to talk at people. In the meantime, you can upload your own video response to Cantor by clicking here.
