Appreciate the opportunity to speak with the @PublicDeclass Board today.
The government belongs to the people.
If information no longer needs to be classified, it should be declassified.

250 years ago today, the Founders announced a new nation not in secret but by submitting their case “to a candid world.” The republic began with an act of public accountability. As we mark #America250, it’s worth remembering: they never intended a government this secret.
