OUR STORY
OhMyGov
Inc. was borne from senior government executives and seasoned
communications experts who are deeply committed to public service,
fueled by
creativity, and impassioned by the idea of improving government. We're
not beltway bandits; like you, we work because we believe in public service. After
all, it's
our government too.
WHAT DRIVES US
OhMyGov!
wants better government communications ― a more creative, more efficient, smarter
government. Through our website, we offer an entertaining mix of "good gov" stories about public
sector innovations and advances and head shaking
"What the gov?" tales of government embarrassments. In short, we
cover stories that makes you say OhMyGov!
We invite you to read along, get our newsletter,
tell a friend, and add your two cents to the conversation. The way we
see it, we've all got to fork over a lot in taxes to the government, whether we pay
attention or not. Might as well stay informed, speak up, and have some
fun with it!
DISCLAIMER
We try to be as apolitical as possible, taking a practical approach above any political stance. In fact, we have three founders, each with different political viewpoints. That said, we don't screen out advertisements that are political in nature, nor do we endorse them. In some circumstances, inappropriate ads will be banned. But for the most part, all advertisers are welcomed to promote their cause, regardless of whether or not we believe in it because we support that whole first amendment thing.
