What We Do

People raising their hands

We seek to empower citizens so that they can be more involved in their government. We seek to hold politicians accountable for their actions and make their records public. We strive to improve transparency in government so that citizens can be more aware of what their government is doing. Read More

How You Can Help

Computer keyboard keys with American flag

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.

Nonpartisan

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.Read More

Support OCL – FOR the People, BY the People

OCL is supported 100% by volunteers who spend HOURS researching the proposed bills, writing analysis, composing, posting, and sending out the alerts, as well as keeping the website updated and running. Your financial help is needed & appreciated to keep this system going to cover costs we bear for website expenses and brochure printings.
Every amount helps, THANK YOU!
