Citizens work with people in government to hold our government accountable, like to show where the money goes.

Part of this is the Sunlight Foundation Hackathon, where people are writing software to search open government data and to display it in a way even a guy like me can understand.

It's happening as I write this.

May not sound like much, but this is real grassroots democracy.
