The Right to Know

The Right to Know

• It is vitally important to a democracy to enable all people to research the issues and receive opinions from a wide variety of sources as well as their elected officials.
• Only by knowing the details of our elected official’s position on the issues can citizens of a democracy make the very best decisions in the voting booth.
• When elected officials state their positions on the issues, everyone should be able to read, view and listen to them.
• When this position is published by a media outlet that is a paid subscription only it limits the amount of citizens that are able to be aware of the position.     
• It is my position that all publications, announcements and other statements on any issues be fully available to all citizens.
