Vexatious Requesters and Government Retaliation – Full DC Elevator Speech

They tried to silence me by labeling me a "vexatious requester." Instead, I took the stage in Washington, DC to expose how that label is weaponized to obstruct transparency, punish journalists, and hide government misconduct.

This speech dives into the real-world impact of retaliatory denials, biased tribunals, and the coordinated effort to gut public access laws. If you care about open government, accountability, and your right to know... This is a must-watch.

I’m Frank Curry, founder of FOIA Buddy and investigative journalist. We’re building a movement to expose corruption and defend your right to public records.
