Blogshine Sunday

On March 13, 2005, news organizations across America will participate in “Sunshine Sunday” by running stories supporting access to government information. This freedom of information is vital to our democracy.

The American Library Association Washington Office has posted an update on
the second FOIA-related bill introduced by Senators Leahy and Cornyn, called the Faster FOIA Act: ALA | 022mar11.


On the morning of March 15, during the first-ever national Sunshine Week, Senators Cornyn and Leahy will convene a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing to examine both the OPEN Government Act and the Faster FOIA Act.
