Amash, Buchanan face off to win House Republicans’ social media challenge

{mosads}Amash on Thursday described his position on the Federal Reserve to a Star Trek movie and a picture of a chair on the roof outside of his congressional office window.

Why should one man control the value of money? What does God need with a starship? Equally perplexing questions. #EndTheFed #StarTrekV

Looks like someone tossed a chair out of their window @ Cannon House Office Building. #NoLongerEmployed #NotMyStaff twitter.com/repjustinamash…

Buchanan is just as focused on winning the challenge, and even recruited support from Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday morning.

The competition, aimed at encouraging best practices and increasing social media outreach by members of the House Republican conference, measures the number of new Twitter followers, Facebook fans and YouTube subscribers accumulated.
