The uncertainty and lack of transparency from our government have reached a critical point. Recent events and revelations, including the release of files by the Department of Justice, have clearly shown the necessity for citizens to demand greater accountability from our federal departments. This petition is my way of standing up and saying enough is enough.

Currently, the public's ability to access clear, concise, and truthful information about the activities and compliance of federal departments is severely restricted. Without transparency, citizens are left to speculate and mistrust the very institutions meant to serve them. This is not just my issue—it's a problem for every American who deserves a transparent and accountable government.

My proposal is simple yet powerful: create a public-facing dashboard of compliance metrics for all federal departments. Such a dashboard would provide real-time data to allow citizens to monitor the activities and compliance of federal departments. We need access to key performance indicators, audits, expenditures, project statuses, and compliance with federal regulations. This tool will empower citizens to maintain an informed oversight, ensuring that departments serve public interests and adhere to the law.

Statistics from AccountabilityGov.org indicate that only 20% of federal departments provide any level of public reporting on their compliance metrics, often buried in inaccessible or confusing reports. Transparency International's 2022 report ranked the United States 27th in global transparency, signaling an urgent need for reforms and openness. By modernizing government reporting, we will not only elevate our global standing but also regain public trust and ensure lawful governance.

This isn't just about catching wrongdoing, it's about empowering citizens like you and me to remain vigilant and informed. Let's use our collective voice to be the lawful thorn in the government's side, ensuring they remain aware they are accountable to the people they serve. Send a powerful message that we demand transparency and accountability.

Sign this petition and help make a public-facing dashboard for federal compliance metrics a reality. Ensure that our government understands that transparency and accountability are not just goals—they are necessities. Together, let's make government work for us, not against us.
