So Easy a Congressman Can Do It!

So Easy A Caveman ... I Mean A Congressman Can Do It!

"I Represent the 57th State of Obama
If I can use the site, you can too!"

Oversight and Reform : The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform launched a redo of Oversight.House.Gov, built to increase taxpayer access to the Oversight information that supports their participation in the committee's work securing a government that spends less and serves better. Oversight.House.Gov is the American people's primary source for information on the committee, and the new WordPress site is a step towards increasing the accessibility of committee investigations and hearings, while delivering the customer-oriented Internet experience taxpayers should expect.

WordPress: “The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform launched a new site on WordPress today. This is really cool for a few reasons. Rep. Darrell Issa tweeted about it this morning, saying WordPress is “rare” for government and said it was “to support fast improvements in response to your feedback.”  Government moves at a pace best described as glacially, so for them to recognize that WordPress can help them react quicker, that’s just huge.”

The Next Web: “The site is at the crossroads of technology, governing, and transparency: technology is applied to bring transparency to the government.”

The Hill: “The video, using a spin-off of the Geico slogan “So easy a caveman can do it” featured in many of its auto insurance commercials, highlights the website’s new user-friendly format and informative content.”
