Introduction:

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned by the lack of transparency and accountability within our government at all levels. The recent Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index highlights a disturbing global trend where many countries, including ours, score poorly in terms of perceived corruption. This issue strikes at the heart of public trust and the republican form of government’s democratic process, necessitating urgent action.

The Demand:

We demand that all public servants, from local to federal levels, be required by law to make the following information permanently and publicly accessible:

Oath of Office: A clear, digital record of the oath taken by each public servant, affirming their commitment to uphold the organic Constitution and laws thereof and serve the public interest.

Bond Information: The actual Bond, including the bond amount, the issuing bonding agency's contact details, and the terms under which the bond was issued. This ensures that there is a financial mechanism in place to hold officials accountable for violations and misconduct.

Claim Filing: A straightforward, easily accessible link with the complete process where citizens can file claims and provide evidence for a claim against the bond of a public official for breaching their duties.

Rationale:

Accountability: Transparency in these areas will serve as a deterrent against corruption and mismanagement, making it easier for citizens to hold officials accountable.

Public Trust: By making this information public, we can rebuild trust in government institutions, ensuring that our leaders are answerable to the people they serve.

Ease of Access: With digital platforms, this information can be readily available to anyone with internet access, reducing the bureaucratic barriers to accountability.

Action Steps:

Sign this Petition: Your signature adds weight to our call for transparency, urging lawmakers to enact these measures into law.

Spread the Word: Share this petition on social media, within community groups, and with local organizations to amplify our message.

Engage Locally: Encourage local governments to lead by example by voluntarily disclosing this information until federal or state laws catch up.

Conclusion:

By signing this petition, you join a movement committed to fostering a government that operates with integrity and openness. Let's work together to dismantle the walls of secrecy and ensure that every public servant is held to the highest standards of public service and transparency.

The urgency of this matter is underscored by the Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index 2020, which shows that two-thirds of countries score below 50 on a scale where 0 is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean.

Call to Action:

Please sign this petition today, and make a stand for a just, transparent government. Together, we can push for a system where transparency isn't just a promise, but a reality.
