Nine hours after the campaign was launched, WikiLeaks' website was showing $25,835 pledged by more than 100 people.

The text of the TPP, which is still under negotiation and would boost the flow of goods between 12 nations from Japan to Chile, is a classified document. The U.S. Trade Representative has increased availability of the text to lawmakers, but critics complain there is still not enough oversight.

How do these people get away with "doing the work of the people" and hide it from us at the same time? This question is rhetorical. The answer is because the American people won't do anything. The partisan hacks will still support and vote for these people according to the letter next to their name.

Union group AFL-CIO led a march on the USTR office in Washington to demand to read the text, but said it found the doors locked.

So you bust the fucking doors down. That's what Americans would have done a century ago. People in this country have become far too passive. Scare the piss out of the aristocrats and you'll bring this secret trade deal to a screeching halt.

Yep. Worst they can do is arrest or shoot you, and once the text is on the internet, there is no way to contain it.

Just CC the text to Putin, Castro, China's Premier, and lots of other world leaders that would love have to have a copy of the draft text. At that point their propaganda machines get to work, and in no time those that signed the text find their jobs on the line.

Most Transparent Administration Obama Denies Freedom of Information Requests At Record Rates - Kevin Glass

Most Transparent Administration: Obama Denies Freedom of Information Requests At Record Rates

President Obama was swept to office amidst his pledge that he'd run the "most transparent administration in history." A new report out finds that he hasn't even run the most transparent administration since the previous one.

The Associated Press analyzed the federal government's own Freedom of Information Act data and found that federal agencies under President Obama have been as uncooperative as ever:



More often than ever, the administration censored government files or outright denied access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, cited more legal exceptions it said justified withholding materials and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press.

The government's own figures from 99 federal agencies covering six years show that halfway through its second term, the administration has made few meaningful improvements in the way it releases records. In category after category — except for reducing numbers of old requests and a slight increase in how often it waived copying fees — the government's efforts to be more open about its activities last year were their worst since President Barack Obama took office.

And five years after Obama directed agencies to less frequently invoke a "deliberative process" exception to withhold materials describing decision-making behind the scenes, the government did it anyway, a record 81,752 times.

Indeed, as the AP finds, the Obama Administration has seen the use of national security exceptions to FOIA requests jump markedly over the past few years:

This comes on the heels of a report that the United States has become increasingly hostile to the press - and is indeed behind countries like El Salvador, Botswana, and Suriname when it comes to freedom of the press.

I totally agree 110%. And, come November 2016, the stupid damn people will once again elect one of them to serve in the oval office. Go figure.
