[CivicAccess-discuss] ibelieveinopen.ca: help with wording of online pledge

[Jennifer Bell]

By the end of the week, one thing you can concretely do to show support for access to government data is sign an online pledge at ibelieveinopen.ca, a VisibleGovernment.ca project which should be going online in the next few days.  Based on the US site, change-congress.org, the site will track voters and MP candidates who support different aspects of government transparency.

I'm still looking for help for wording on the pledge for open access to government data, which is currently:

"I support free access to scientific, electoral, and survey data gathered by government institutions."

If this is an issue you care about, please take a few minutes to think whether this wording is appropriate, or what might be better.
