Washington State Democratic Chairs Organization

The Washington State Democratic Party History Project will hold a workshop on making Freedom of Information requests on Saturday April 25th in Tacoma.

The workshop will be conducted by Keith Scully, an attorney from Seattle who specializes in FOIA requests.

Participants will be encouraged to complete a request to the FBI for their own files. We may be surprised that they FBI know more about us than we ourselves do.

Knowing how to make requests for public records is a skill that we should all have. Being able to find out how our governmental bodies operate in areas not usually open to the public has proven to be just as important as knowing those things we read about in the press or on line or see on TV.

Be there if you can. I regret that I won’t be able to be, so I won’t see if you’re in attendance or not. But chances are, the FBI will.
