Dear Joe,
In several states including Utah, Wisconsin, Maine, Tennessee and Florida, governors are rolling back transparency and restricting the citizens’ right to know about their government.
At the Sunlight Foundation, we stand with activists who believe in open government and we are asking you to help spread the word by signing the open letter to the governor telling them to stop the roll back of transparency. You can also encourage others in Maryland to demand a transparent, open and accountable government - just as Jennifer Pebbles of Texas Watchdog did.
When we hit 10,000 signatures, we’ll take these letters to the National Governors Association in person. At the moment, over 5,000 people have signed on with us. Will you help us hit 10,000 so we can show our governors that Americans believe in transparency in government? To sign the open letter, visit the Sunlight Foundation to tell our governors to support open government
Thank you for supporting the sunshine movement!

At the risk of sounding "pessimistic" or "negative", I have to tell you dreamers that you are wasting your time. Governors are STILL politicians and could care less what their constituents want or believe. Once elected, they no longer need or want YOUR input. they'll look at that petition and bust out laughing. The ONLY way they would take it seriously would be if it came with a $500,000 bribe, I mean, "campaign contribution". Besides, does anyone really think they want to shed LIGHT upon their backroom deals and manipulations? Get real.
