Transparency in Government —
How American Citizens Influence Public Policy
by Ellen M. Katz
“A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”
— former U.S. President James Madison, 1822
