AI,

As one of Bartlett's constituents, it nauseates me to know that he is against an open, transparent form of government.

I have to agree totally with IPOPA. Working with the coalition of Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians, they all agreed on a number things - chiefly more open and accountable government. Open, transparent government is not a right v. left, conservative v. liberal issue.

Harcore environmentalists as as liberal as they come, and they are ALWAYS demanding documents from the government AND from private enterprise. Unigov, go to bed, would you please!

Pretty far left here, but I think open access is crucial. Any data to back up the assertion that the left dislikes open access more than the right? I think that self-serving politicians of all stripes prefer closed doors, and civic minded people from both sides support open access laws. Making this into a partisan issue isn't going to advance the cause. Open access to government information should be a non-partisan no brainer. We all know we can't trust what the other guys are doing, so better to keep our eyes on them. :-)

Not saying that this person ascribes to these views, but people with a socialist or evn-farther-left point of view don't like open access. It hampers their statist aspirations.
