Objective: We are governed efficiently and equitably, by honest people and transparent policymaking

How do we do this?

Establish transparent policymaking processes

• For transparency's sake, lawmakers should be upfront about the beneficiaries of a bill

Increase public engagement in policymaking

• Want to gauge the national mood? Look at coffee sales
• When politicians won't budge on a third-rail issue, use humor
• Online game helps people see through the eyes of the working poor
• Save ecologically vulnerable areas by highlighting the money they generate
• Join the fight to protect Little Free Libraries from city bureaucrats

Make government services accessible to all

• Internet kiosks give rural villagers access to government services

Build thriving local economies

• New startup creates storefront marketplace to lease out a city's empty spaces
• Fellowship program places graduates in less popular startup communities
• Instead of "buy one give one," support local economies
• Save ecologically vulnerable areas by highlighting the money they generate
• As offshoring becomes more expensive, manufacturers look at domestic markets again
