No more permanent secrets

All government documents must be made public without any redactions immediately unless classified, upon which there will be a delay of 25 years after which the same rule applies.

The government gets its powers from the people. The people cannot hold those granted this power unless they are fully informed. FOIA is not strong enough. The people cannot be required to request information. The default position must be openness with minimal exceptions.

For too long the American government has hid behind secrecy to keep the citizens in the dark. This must end. No more secret deals. No more hidden agendas. No more hiding behind data classification rules.
