Form a "Peoples Cabinet" for Government Transparency
23 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!
A "People's Cabinet" represents a commitment to transparency, accountability and true representation of the constituents' interests. Too often, decisions are made behind closed doors without proper public scrutiny, catering to the agendas of powerful oligarchs and special interests. By providing a clear and accessible platform to inform citizens about the actions and inactions of their elected officials, a "People's Cabinet" would empower the public to hold their representatives truly accountable. It is unacceptable to learn after the fact about failures to uphold the mandate given by the people. A "People's Cabinet" would ensure that the voices and concerns of ordinary citizens remain at the forefront, rather than being drowned out by moneyed influence. Restoring faith in government requires this level of openness and responsiveness to those who should be steering the ship – the people themselves.
