“One way to provide assurances that your Administration is listening to the voices of all Americans, not just friends and donors who have a financial self-interest to influence government policy, is to let everyone know who is meeting with you and your staff,” Monday’s letter to Trump read.

The senators sent a similar letter on Monday to William Callahan, deputy director of the U.S. Secret Service, asking how the agency will conduct background checks on people who will be present during Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago, Trump Tower in New York City, Trump’s golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, or other Trump properties where he may conduct official business.

Obama’s WH visitor logs are now public record and will soon be at his library. Trump’s visitors? We still don’t know. SHAMEFUL and UN-AMERICAN. What’s Trump hiding?

“Spokespeople for the Trump transition did not respond to a request for comment on whether he will maintain public access to the White House visitor log.”

Isn’t transparency a good thing? Just because Obama released his 8 years too late, does not mean that Trump should not be transparent.

I am not sure what you mean by “you guys”? Do you have something against conservative libertarians?

As someone who believes in freedom, I find this attitude very disturbing. Personally, I believe the government should be very limited, but whatever the government does should be very transparent. There is no coherent political philosophy that argues transparency is important for one group but not another.

I apologize. The press is very hostile to Trump and if I were him, I wouldn’t give them any ammunition. Once again, I apologize for assuming!
 
Alinsky’s rules.

“Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
“Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
“Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
“A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
“A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
“Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
“The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
"The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition." It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
“If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
“The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

Ridicule certainly is a weapon used by today’s liberals and progressives - especially by
many posters here at CAF.
 
Did these same senators ask the Obama admin to release the White House logs (if they were not already released)?
