We seek to empower citizens so that they can be more involved in their government. We seek to hold potliticians accountable for their actions and make their records public. We strive to improve transparency in goverment so that citizens can be more aware of what their government is doing.
Analyze bills. Lobby politicians. Give public testimony. Track measures and attend hearings. There are many things that citizens can do to help. OCL works through all these avenues in an effort to empower citizens and give them a voice in their government. Learn more and sign up to take part in this process.
OCL is a nonpartisan group. We endorse 5 principles and grade all bills and lawmakers using those standards. By focusing on these principles we are able to objectively grade bills based solely on the merits of the bill itself. As a politician it is the lawmaker's job to explain their actions to their constituents.
