Interview with Kevin Zeese by Jessica Desvarieux in The Real News Network - People believe that a government that's transparent is going to be a more effective government. People have the chance then to have their input into the way the government's going, and people know what's going on in their lives and their futures. And this--actually, a couple of the documents leaked by WikiLeaks dealt with transparency. Interesting about the transparency in this agreement is it's another corporatization-only thing. Corporations under this agreement would be required to be told when a government is considering legislation or policy that would affect their business, at an early stage. So a corporation is told in advance, so it has a chance to help to write the legislation, help to shape it, make sure it doesn't hurt them, and really have an impact.
