A FOIA request is not as simple as one might think. You have to be very exacting as to what you are asking for or you will not get it. For someone who is not familiar with the process the likelyhood of getting no results is high. Also, if you are successful it can be quite expensive as you will be charged per page for the reults. It could potentially cost thousands of $. A non-profit org can request a fee waiver. I encourage anyone that is serious about making a FOIA request to research the process and consider hiring an attorney familiar with FOIA to write the formal request.
