FOIA Requests Made Easy By Advocacy Group

From People for the American Way, this new website, Make a FOIA Request: “Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), anyone has the right to request information from the government. Last strengthened by Congress in response to the Watergate scandal, FOIA gives citizens a way to demand transparency from the Administration — and take the government to court if necessary. Many Americans — especially those with family and friends abroad — are wondering whether government agents have been listening to their phone conversations or reading their email. If you’re worried this has happened to you, you can use this site to help you find out. We can’t guarantee that the Bush administration will disclose all this information in compliance with the law, but we can help you through the process. By filing a FOIA request, you will send a strong signal that American citizens believe in the rule of law and aren’t afraid to stand up to the President when he violates the Constitution!”
