Representative Aaron Schock says he officially has the coolest website in Congress.

Watch The Video

The 18th District Republican unveiled his new website today.
On it, you can send the congressmen your opinion on pending legislation, sign up to be part of his Facebook page and watch YouTube clips of his latest comments on the House Floor.

The site also allows constituents to take part in tele–town hall meetings where thousands can be on the phone at once.

"These individuals can then listen to the discussion.
They can press a button and then ask a question or they can just stay on the line as if they were attending a typical town hall meeting.
The beauty of this is our last town hall for example, we called 30,000 households and we had 6,000 households participate," said Schock at a press conference at Bradley University.

Schock says because of the nationwide attention he's received as the youngest member of congress, he's getting mail from all over the country.
He's hoping the website will cut down on communication expenses.
You'll find the site at WWW.SCHOCK.HOUSE.GOV.
