I am a conservative, libertarian constitutionalist, and a staunch defender of free speech, regardless of ideology or IQ. Always let stupid people talk. It makes them easier to identify.
Leaving our children as free as our parents left us is a war without end. Best we quit whining about it, and get to fighting it.
Once a year, we *award* government secrecy.
The Foilies recognize the worst in government transparency, allowing us to name-and-shame the government agencies and officials who have stood in the way of public access. View the winners: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/foilies-2021
Since 2015, The Foilies have served as an annual opportunity to name-and-shame the uncoolest government agencies and officials who have stood in the way of public access. We collect the most outrageous and ridiculous stories from around the country from journalists, activists, academics, and everyday folk who have filed public records and experienced retaliation, over-redactions, exorbitant fees, and other transparency malpractice. We publish this rogues gallery as a faux awards program during Sunshine Week (March 14-20, 2021), the annual celebration of open government organized by the News Leaders Association.
