"Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman," wrote Louis Brandeis in 1914. Today, the Freedom of Information Act and internet make it possible to post online all spending at the federal, state, and local levels. This kind of radical transparency can transform U.S. politics.
In America, we need a 'war on government waste.' Please watch our 'lunch lecture.' Join the transparency revolution!
Please
join us. It's our moral obligation to stop government waste, taxpayer abuse, corruption and duplication.
