December 23, 2007, 10:12am (report abuse)This is great news for America and will end government agencies ability to hide from the public. At the Thomas Jackson Centers we have our fingers crossed that the President will sign this bill into law under his own signature. His name on the law would be an open endorsement that Open Government is good government. Without his name, the bill will ride out the congressional recess and become law absent the Presidents signature. The new law will also go a long way in answering the question “Are bloggers journalist?” Good question and here is my answer. I am one of three bloggers (correspondents, writers, etc.) on the three blogs of the Thomas Jackson Center for Freedom of Information and the Thomas Jackson Center for Equal Civil Rights. If you visit our site, you’ll see that ClustrMaps has tracked visitors from all over the world who read our blogs. Blogs often have more readers than small town newspapers.
