Transparent Government = Online Information
The Friends Of Hardy Arkansas (FOHA) believe it is time to begin building a strong movement of citizens demanding 
that government information be made available online and in real-time. Full disclosure of public records, laws, meetings available easily for all.
As citizens, we need online, real-time access to government information so that we can be better informed voters and more ably hold government accountable for their actions.
Remember, our local government is not going to give us the data and become more transparent on its own. We must engage with it to make it so. It is our legal right to know the facts. That is now one of the missions of (FOHA).
OUR PLEDGE TO THE CITIZENS OF HARDY
Government transparency is critical to creating a better democracy, and of highest importance in helping each of us decide how we cast our votes. FOHA pledges, through sustained engagement, to hold public officials accountable for being open and transparent.

Special Note: The City of Clinton, Arkansas already has most information online. It is a great idea and something we feel Hardy should take steps to do.. WE ARE HAPPY TO PUT THE INFORMATION ONLINE FOR FREE.
Feel fee to check out City Of Clinton’s website HERE

Sounds like a good idea. Everything else can be found online, it just makes sense. I am surprised the city isn’t already making the information easily available already online! Good work FOHA !
FOHA has been helping Hardy Arkansas in a variety of ways. Number 1 we created a website that is vibrant, strong and relevant. 2. window decals are all over town promoting the website, but more importantly creating a unified feel and sense of pride, 3. T-shirts that are available for purchase, 4. websites for other stores and businesses in town and the area, 5. economic relief for shops in Hardy. This one is important. FOHA supporters actually spend their money in Hardy in its stores and resturants.
Now, FOHA is demanding that our elected officials stand up and demonstrate Unity in the Community and stop hiding in the shadows, plotting and scheming half thought out ideas. Strategic planning takes time, commitment and teamwork. We want our government to be more forthcoming with ideas and accept our help in creating our own future.
