Obama Promises: Bring Americans Back into their Government

Tweet

"End the Practice of Writing Legislation Behind Closed Doors: Obama and Biden will work to reform congressional rules to require all legislative sessions, including committee mark-ups and conference committees, to be conducted in public. Hold 21st Century Fireside Chats: Obama will bring democracy and policy directly to the people by requiring his Cabinet officials to have periodic national broadband townhall meetings to discuss issues before their agencies. Make White House Communications Public: Obama will amend executive orders to ensure that communications about regulatory policymaking between persons outside government and all White House staff are disclosed to the public. Conduct Regulatory Agency Business in Public: Obama will require his appointees who lead the executive branch departments and rulemaking agencies to conduct the significant business of the agency in public, so that any citizen can watch these debates in person or on the Internet. Release Presidential Records: Obama will nullify the Bush attempts to make the timely release of presidential records more difficult." This is from Obama's "Blueprint for Change"... So far he has forgotten each of them... will he ever be open or honest?
