The best disinfectant is the light of day. The truth has its own power. The only way to prevent abuse of power is to have power use scrutinized and scrutinizable by anyone. The only way to ensure that government does not abuse its power is to have oversight of it.

Make the office, decisions and actions of the White House transparent to the people that it represents. Use the internet, technology and media to make the Nation’s leadership visible, interactive and responsive. Be an example of a positive, open-minded and representative govt.

The government can or could become more or less transparent. It is right now very secretive and for that reason all of the corruption can go on unseen. We could become as transparent as being able to see whats going, or even more transparent, by being actively involved as a population with creating and writing laws- open source government

Yes, we democratically select our representatives in government, but their purpose is to represent our interests in government (finding those who do represent our interests and not their own is always a challenge!).
Even though I follow events closer than most, I do not want to be bogged down with all the details, nor do I want to subject myself to the tyranny of the bored and under employed.
