Freedom of Information Act Links

I have compiled some useful resources on Freedom of Information Act Laws, Anti-Slapp (Anti- Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation), and other informative links that will help citizens stamp out government corruption by having the tools necessary to get at critical information not otherwise known to the general public. This helps keep government in the sunshine for all the public to see. Do your part and file one today, you might even be able to do it for FREE.

Listen to the various discussions on this episode of the Get Off The Bench Advocacy Call. It's free and it is to help you and your organizations.
