OMB Watch is collaborating with the Sunlight Foundation in its "Open House" project to help the U.S. House of Representatives innovate and expand in its internet-based efforts to engage greater numbers of American citizens in the political process. The project will also issue recommendations on how the House can, via the internet, become increasingly transparent to citizens. In the words of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, reacting to the project's launch this month, "[t]he Internet is an incredible vehicle for transparency, honest leadership and open government. I am encouraged by this working group and look forward to recommendations on how the House can be as open and accessible to citizens as possible." For more information, click on Open House project
