Senator Jon Tester : Montana

What do you guys think of this, do you think all senators should do this, or to go further, should we require all Senators to do this?

Personally I think it's fantastic, and a great example of a new breed of politicians (well, particularly democrats) who are ultra-clean and ultra-transparent, I think this kind of behavior will become more and more populra

I think it should be required to publish information about who Senators are meeting with unless it's for security related reasons.

As a representative of the people they should not expect to meet with people about official state / city (etc) business without the electorate being able to find out the who, when, why, what, where, etc..

The more transparency in government, the better for all of us.

I also think it's helpful to see what exactly they are doing with their time...are they lazy, one-sided, etc
