Social Media as a Platform for the Under-Represented Voices of the People

This clip is about how social media, like facebook and twitter, has presented an opportunity for those who do not feel adequately represented in either the Democratic or Republican parties to make an impact on the 2012 election by joining Americans Elect, a new, social-media-inspired, website that actually gets Americans to vote online and choose a potential third party representative. The speaker emphasizes how social media has finally allowed for the many unheard sentiments of "the people" to be broadcasted and taken seriously.
