Do you use any of the tools for transparency currently available to you?
I was reading " http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/tilted-...s-package.html" and watching the video, and was thinking to myself,"People don't give a crap if it's 'transparent' we've got lots of transparency and no one cares about it."
So I thought let's start from the simplest of simplest... Do you watch CSPAN? specifically, do you watch the Congressional sessions at all? Ever? Once in a while?
C-SPAN - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I try to watch it when I can, usually it's dry and boring. This fact makes me not so interested in watching it again in the future.
Do you read Thomas?
THOMAS (Library of Congress)
I try to from time to time when there are bills that I am interested in. As of late, I've been very busy so it has fallen off, but I generally will just pick up the phone and call my Senator. I normally forget to call my US Representative, in fact I cannot name who mine is currently.
