Opening up government with Ethics.gov

President Obama promised he would “create a centralized Internet database of lobbying reports, ethics records, and campaign finance filings in a searchable, sortable, and downloadable format.”  Today, with the launch of www.Ethics.gov [ http://www.ethics.gov/ ], he’s delivering on that promise. 

Ethics.gov takes an important step [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/03/08/we-can-t-wait-strengthening-our-democracy-through-open-government?utm_source=030812&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ] to increase transparency and accountability by making this information available and accessible in one central location. This is good for government and good for the American people.
