The Denver Gazette: Sunshine Week occurs each year in mid-March, coinciding with James Madison’s birthday and National Freedom of Information Day on March 16th. This is the week when journalists and citizens across the country celebrate together the importance of open government and the dangers of excessive secrecy.

The national initiative was created in March 2005 by the American Society of Newspaper Editors.

Democrats in the Colorado State Capitol celebrated Sunshine Week by undermining its very essence.
