Wikileaks, in a victory for the First Amendment, is back online. They seek donations via an online form They also need larger grants for capacity building. A gift to them would not be deductible, but the impact might be significant, to say the least, for those who value open society. Imagine how the world will change as those who operate with impunity in positions of power behind a veil of secrecy whether in Bejing, Moscow, NY, or DC are put at risk publicly for the deeds they do in darkness.
I'm wondering why The Sunlight Foundation ...
The Sunlight Foundation was founded in 2006 with the goal of using technology to enable citizens to learn more about what their elected representatives are doing, to help reduce corruption, ensure greater transparency and... [more]
... and Wikileaks wouldn't team up ?
Or perhaps "somebody" should connect the two organizations so that Wikileaks could avail itself of Sunlight's grants program ?
The Sunlight Foundation offers “transparency grants” for organizations that are using new “Web 2.0” technology to further the organization’s mission of making information about Congress and the federal government more accessible to the American people.
