Dear John,

Unless the Senate acts soon, a critical bipartisan bill that would help make federal agencies more open and accountable will die at the end of the year. We urgently need you to write your senator and tell them you support reforms to the Freedom of Information Act, known as FOIA.

Tell Your Senator You Support Strengthening Government Accountability and Openness

The FOIA Improvement Act, introduced by Senators Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) and John Cornyn (R-Texas), addresses many problems  journalists, public interest advocates, researchers, historians and every day citizens face when using FOIA to access information on how government works-or doesn't. The bill would also make the process of requesting public documents more efficient, thus saving money for taxpayers.

We need you to tell your senator to support this legislation. Our government is spending too much time obstructing FOIA. This bill would rein in abuses that allow federal agencies to claim questionable exemptions to the law.
