WHY & HOW WE NEED TO INFILTRATE OUR GOVERNMENTAdam Fletcher
President, CommonAction Consulting
“The people… do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created.”
- California’s Brown Act, 1953
