We Need Fewer Secrets

By Jimmy CarterMonday, July 3, 2006; Page A21
The U.S. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) turns 40 tomorrow, the day we celebrate our independence. But this anniversary will not be a day of celebration for the right to information in our country. Our government leaders have become increasingly obsessed with secrecy. Obstructionist policies and deficient practices have ensured that many important public documents and official actions remain hidden from our view.

We cannot take freedom of information for granted. Our democracy depends on it.

A blogosphere challenge initiated by Brian and Carol. Here's how it works: Send an email to brian@bravehumans.com with the subject: Yop! In the body of the email list the name of your weblog, and the URL. Your weblog will be added to this Website Blogs Joined So Far: 253 Blogs Left to Go: 29,747 Tell your friends who blog about it, and urge them to send in their weblog as well. When the list reaches 30,000, a date and a word will be listed on the page. On that date, every weblog on the list agrees to make a single post with the word as the title. The content of the post should be about what you want for the world, whatever that may be. The purpose is not to make a particular political statement, but simply to make a noise. If 30,000 weblogs all post the same unusual word, it WILL be heard. Have you ever wanted to shout to the world? Here's your chance.
