Open The Government - Welcome Americans for Less Secrecy, More Democracy....

From the front page:

The Problem
Our leaders are closing the doors of government. The government detains hundreds in secret, writes an energy policy behind closed doors, allows secret Patriot Act searches OK'd by secret courts, withholds data about chemical contamination in our drinking water, and keeps too much information classified and out of the public eye.

What OpenTheGovernment.org Will Do
We'll highlight alerts, reports and analyses from dozens of groups. This coalition includes librarians, journalists, good government and environmental groups, and labor. We are advocates defending the First Amendment, promoting free expression, strengthening national security and fighting censorship.
