Sunshine Week is March 16- 22, 2008

As Judicial Watch says, open government is honest government. The American citizen, through the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act), has rights to request information, except homeland security-sensitive info, from the federal government; all states have laws regulating public information requests, too.

SunshineWeek.org has myriad materials for use free during Sunshine Week, March 16-22, by any participant. Some resources are themed specifically to the Sunshine Campaign initiative. Others are the general Sunshine Week items offered each year, such as editorial cartoons, logos and opinion columns.
