This is on the first chapter from the blueprint, Ethics.
This post is going to be a little boring because I basically agree with him on everything in here...
Starting off, he says that he wants to increase government transparency by setting up a public website database that will dialog all lobbying reports, ethics records and campain finance reports. He also wants to create loads of other websites to log government activity that are susspost to be super user friendly and easy to find and download stuff. I am in total agreement with this. It would be a total (good) change from the current bush policy where so many things are done in private.
I personaly would use this ALOT seeing that I already use government sites like house.gov and senate.gov quite a bit. From the way he talks about it i think he would also re-design whitehouse.gov along with some others. I would love to have more websites like this!
He also wants to get all the lobbyist out of the Washington... Who dosin't... I agree with this...
Last thing in this chapter of interest is somthing he calls "sunlight before signing" bascily it says that he will not sign any "non-emergeny" bill without giving the people five days to review it comment it and debate it. Good because it gives "the people" more voice. even though it slows down all of the bills I think it's worth it. although it dosin't give us any authorty it does give us a chance to say what we think. it might turn out to be really funny, like the comment boards on youtube where everyone just hates on eachother but eather way it's a good idea.
That concludes chapter one!
