The People's House

From the President-Elect Obama's website:

Bring Americans Back into their Government

-Hold 21st Century Fireside Chats: Obama will bring democracy and policy directly to the people by requiring his Cabinet officials to hold periodic national broadband townhall meetings to discuss issues before their agencies.

-Make White House Communications Public: Obama will amend executive orders to ensure that communications about regulatory policymaking between persons outside government and all White House staff are disclosed to the public.

-Conduct Regulatory Agency Business in Public: Obama will require his appointees who lead the executive branch departments and rulemaking agencies to conduct the significant business of the agency in public, so that any citizen can see these debates in person or watch them on the internet.

-Release Presidential Records: Obama and Biden will nullify attempts to make the timely release of presidential records more difficult.

He also wants to open the White House to the public: like readings to school children; and the new oppening of the vistor center.
