The president’s semi-active Twitter account just sent out this message:

The House is voting on a historic clean energy bill today. Have you called your representative about it? http://bit.ly/aWcDK

Twitter has been burning up with conservative and Republican messages telling followers how to call to ask their representatives for “no” votes on the bill. This is notable because the Obama account has more than 1.5 million followers. The far-more-active Republican accounts can’t compete. Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), for example, who has been telling followers to call in to the House switchboard, only has 10,476 followers. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has been pushing a call-in campaign and whose Tweets are probably better-covered in the media than any other politicians, has only a third as many followers as Obama.
