Developing Story: Freedom of the Press Forum Coming to Evansville

If you click on the post, you will see the Janesville Gazette editorial on Sunshine Week, or the celebration this week of open government. The Evansville Observer joins with the Gazette in calling for a reversal of the growing trend across all levels of government of inappropriate secrecy.

After the election in April, the Evansville Observer hopes to host here in Evansville a forum on the 1st Amendment and You-----what Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press means for you and why it is important for Evansville residents.

A celebrated speaker is being sought. Stay tuned.

    The administration argues that secrecy is necessary because of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Yet the record shows that the administration adopted this position before 9/11.

    I think that statement says alot, they will try to use 9/11 as a excuse for alot of what they do, yet here we are, this was done before 9/11, how can they continue to create excuses, and lies....
