| | What is Ethics.gov?
President Obama promised he would “create a centralized Internet database of lobbying reports, ethics records, and campaign finance filings in a searchable, sortable, and downloadable format.” Today, with the launch of www.Ethics.gov, he’s delivering on that promise.
Ethics.gov takes an important step to increase transparency and accountability by making this information available and accessible in one central location. This is good for government and good for the American people.
Visit Ethics.gov and give it a try.
