Anything that promotes more voter involvement is a plus, and perhaps the Internet - in this case You Tube- can save us from our apathy. We need to watch elected officials as we have failed to do before.

Since this election cycle, I have been encouraged by the power of the web to get our voices heard, to whatever small degree. (Taking to the streets would be preferable, but this is a start.)

I have been thinking that it would be fantastic to have web sites like Huffpo devoted to each state, and to municipalities too. Our collective hair would assuredly stand on end if we saw what was going on at those levels!

Fellow citizens: Let's stay vigilant.
