  2. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    Government by the people means that the people have the right to do their own thinking and to do their own speaking about their public servants. They must speak truthfully and they must not be disloyal to the country, and it is their highest duty by truthful criticism to make and keep the public servants loyal to the country.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
    Essay (1918-04-06), “Citizens or Subjects?” Kansas City Star

  3. @chris It would be a great #PublicService for meetings with #FossilFuel & other #ecocide #CorporateLobbyists with ANY of our public elected #PublicServants to be open to #PublicTransparency #PublicAccountability #PublicScrutiny.

    Too many #politicians forget that they are elected public servants. That means, their job is to serve us, the public, not corporate lobbyists. If they're not guilty of selling out the public for their own corporate lobbyists & political benefits - they'd not be so damn scared of full public transparency.
