Never Try to Silence a Tuesdayista

October 6, 2011, marks ten years of U.S. war against Afghanistan. Ordinary Americans are saying, "Enough is enough!"

One of the ways they are showing how they feel is by making time every week to remember what's happening in Afghanistan and push for change. On Twitter, this takes the form of #AfghanistanTuesday.


What do people tweet about on #AfghanistanTuesday? One of the most obvious is to demand action from our elected representatives:

@RepBobbyRush Your #Chicago #Illinois constituents want to know what you are going to do to get us out of #Afghanistan! #AfghanistanTuesday

Virtually every member of Congress has a Twitter account now. What do they use them for?

Another way to tweet on #AfghanistanTuesday is to let people know how you are participating:

I'll be in #FreedomPlaza in #DC until the U.S. gets out of #Afghanistan! @StopTheMach2011 #October2011 #AfghanistanTuesday

(There will be a lot of these kinds tweets, now that actions are planned in DC, Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Trenton . . . and even London!)
