Moving toward US government transparency

Blogs have made another step: they got a bill signed by President Bush that opens up the US Federal government so that everyday citizens can now look at what the government does. Download this first link which is a PDF of what the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in simple language is doing. Read the PDF titled "Achieving Greater Transparency And Accountability In Government" to get more details.

You can also take a look at Porkbuster.org to find more interesting info on how the blogs of America are turning Congress on it's ear in doing the right thing, not the Congressional thing.

Here are some other sites:

Citizens Against Government Waste
Open Secrets.org
Sunlight Foundation
National Taxpayer Union
Tax Foundation

I hope this makes you sick to do something.
