Although I'm hearing Republicans say that Obama snuck the Stimulus Package through Congress and that most of them have not read it and that citizens are not able to read it, it, along with so much more is now provided online by the Obama team. Anyone can read everything that is going on in Washington that affects their lives -- I've not seen such transparency before. It is bound to be effective. If nothing else, it will either quiet those that don't believe the right things are happening ....... or it will hold the current administration's feet to the fire to stand behind their promises. What more could you ask for except the full participation of America's citizens in their government?
