Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) solicited questions for his occasional "Ask Chuck" webcast on Twitter Monday, telling constituents to reach out on both Twitter and Facebook.

In his last video, posted in late September, a constituent named Shirley asked: "OK so who is really posting these Facebook messages??? I just can't see Mr. Grassley doing it!?"

Grassley responded that he was glad for the chance to "set the record straight."

"I do all the posting on my UberTwitter and from there it goes to Facebook," he said. "I gave you my locations and my activites over the weekend particulary when I was at the Iowa State-Oklahoma volleyball game. Obviously there wasn't staff with me. I ! did it all by myself. I find it quite easy to tweet."

"I appreciate your asking the question," he continued, "because I ran into someone recently who said something to me similar to what you said. 'Well who does that for you?' So I whip out my Blackberry and say what's your name. And so I put in the Blackberry and on UberTwitter that I am here in a conversation with so-and-so. So it's an opportunity for me to show people that I do tweet."

Grassley's Twitter handle is @ChuckGrassley. He has 23,195 followers.

The video series is featured on his Senate website and YouTube account.
