Help Shape RI’s Future

Thoughtful observers tell us that the ‘deep root’ of Rhode Island’s fabled corruption is citizen apathy. Isn’t that you and me? Are we allowing the precious gift of democracy to wither away by treating it like a spectator sport? Good government is a participation activity. You can join the adults who volunteer to make Operation Clean Government an effective government watchdog group.

More hands and minds are needed to work on research, mailings, membership, attend legislative hearings, and monitor Board and Commission meetings. Likewise the Voter Initiative Alliance needs volunteers to gather 20,000 signatures to be presented to the General Assembly in January. That effort seeks to persuade the Assembly to place the Voter Initiative question on the November 2006, ballot. You’ll find volunteering very satisfying, you’ll meet great new friends, and you will really find out what’s going on in this state! Come join us!

Operation Clean Government holds accountable those whom the citizenry entrust with the stewardship of their state government. Transparency in government and the citizen's access to their government are essential to a healthy democracy. OCG advocates strong democratic laws and institutions that instill public confidence that common policies are fairly debated and decided on the merits, and that common resources are used responsibly.
