Senators urged to co-sponsor Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2007from OpenTheGovernment.org
Dear Senators: I am writing to you on behalf of the 70 organizations that comprise OpenTheGovernment.org to ask you, as an important member of the Senate and a candidate for your party's nomination for the presidency of the United States, to co-sponsor "The Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2007" (S. 886) which would re-establish procedures to ensure the timely release of presidential records that Congress intended with the Presidential Records Act of 1978. OpenTheGovernment.org (www.openthegovernment.org) is a coalition of consumer and good government groups, journalists, environmentalists, library groups, labor and others united to make the federal government a more open place in order to make us safer, strengthen public trust in government, and support our democratic principles. We consider this bill as key to ensuring government accountability and the public's trust in their government. Read the entire letter here from OpenTheGovernment.org. |
