Read the second part of the Declaration’s statement about the inalienable rights: “that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it...to effect their safety and happiness.” Our political hacks have become destructive of inalienable rights. Stripping Americans of certain rights is not without precedent. Military members sacrifice certain rights because of the unique nature of their mission. Politicians, by reason of the power they wield, must be held to a higher and more rigorous standard, including absolute transparency.

So push for an Article V Convention and get the Constitution amended. Seriously. That's the only way you're going to get the kind of transparency you're after.
