Change Congress

Now, I know most of the readers here would rather just Abolish Congress, but I still think Larry Lessig is cool. Baby steps - gotta crawl before you can learn to walk - etc.
We will be kicking off the Change Congress effort at the National
Press Club on Thursday at 1:30 PM EST at a speech I'll be giving
sponsored by the Sunlight Foundation. If you can't get to the event
in Washington D.C. I hope you will join me online for a live webcast
by going to the link below:

The following video outlines the basics of the Change Congress movement.





Since the above video was made, he's decided not to run for the unexpectedly vacant slot. Basically, he did some polls and decided he couldn't actually beat Speier in the time frame of the special election. If he lost, Fox News would spin it as a failure of his concept, not the reality of a less than 30-day campaign vs a popular opponent.

Two contributors describe themselves as anarchists. I don't think any of the readership does. But I could be wrong.

Wait - you don't read anything I contribute?

Oh, no wait, I get it. I just didn't realize this was the sort of blog where we correct people's grammar and terminology. :) I'll get out my editing highlighter - but if it ruins my monitor, you owe me a new one.

I don't want to abolish Congress. I just want them to leave me alone.
