Shine a little light on government

Transparency is a basic principle that enables democracy to function. When you don't have information available to the public, the government can't serve the needs of the public.

Along that line of thought I got this from a friend of mine the other day - it's sunshine week next week! This is a movement dedicated to freedom of information in government and encourage citizen journalists.

Sounds like a great idea to leverage the growing online communities and groups of concerned citizens to shed some light on the process of governing.
