Transparent Tuesdays

Continuing with our transparency in government series, our next site is the Sunlight Foundation. They offer an up-to-date blog that discusses current issues, applications that enable you to keep up with with congress, along with a variety of other projects. You can also join the transparency movement by signing up for their mailing list. Use Twitter? Consider following Sunlight on Twitter.

From their About Us page:

"The Sunlight Foundation was co-founded in 2006 by Washington, DC businessman and lawyer Michael Klein and longtime Washington public interest advocate Ellen Miller with the non-partisan mission of using the revolutionary power of the Internet to make information about Congress and the federal government more meaningfully accessible to citizens. Through our projects and grant-making, Sunlight serves as a catalyst for greater political transparency and to foster more openness and accountability in government. Sunlight’s ultimate goal is to strengthen the relationship between citizens and their elected officials and to foster public trust in government."
