Chris Horner is a leader in the fight against liberal tyranny in America—with his requests for information even declared “criminal” by the Obama administration. In his book,The Liberal War on Transparency: Confessions of a Freedom of Information "Criminal" Horner reveals explosive new information obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.  He also exposes the tightly kept secret of liberals running our government and schools: a carefully managed war to undermine the taxpayers’ right to see what their government is up to. During his campaign, Obama promised “the most transparent administration in history.” Not only has this proven to be an empty promise, but he and his liberal allies systematically hide their activities from the public. They use private email accounts and computers, avoid creating records, stonewall information requests, and  delay or deny access to information every taxpayer has a right to know. This book exposes the White House tricks, tactics, and “tradecraft” used to keep Americans in the dark. Horner is the author of the best-selling book: Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud and Deception to Keep You Misinformed.Background: Horner serves as a Senior Fellow at CEI. As an attorney in Washington, D.C., Horner has represented CEI as well as scientists and Members of the U.S. House and Senate on matters of environmental policy in the federal courts including the Supreme Court. He has testified before the United States Senate Committees on Foreign Relations and Environment and Public Works. Greenpeace has repeatedly targeted Horner by stealing his garbage on a weekly basis.
