Want to do some Twitter Activism?

You've probably heard that the Republicans - as I type - are throwing a tantrum in the dark on the floors of Congress. What do they want? Congress to reconvene for a vote on energy legislation to bring down oil prices. This despite the fact that every serious person says there is nothing congress can do in teh short term to lower prices and Republicans obstructed energy legislation meant to address the problem earlier in the session.

Lacking cameras, or even lights, the GOP has been Tweeting their tempest in a teapot out to the conservative technorati and it's starting to get noticed.

Some progressive folks thought - why not have a little fun with this and flood the Twitter feed with nonsense and/or progressive messages.

Here's my suggestions on what Tweets to send to #dontgo:

• Link to Gore climate speeches.
• Link to Obama's energy policy.
• Link to Think Progress's coverage of the issue.
• Rick Roll them.
