Default Larry Lessing

Lessig '08 - Change Congress. (his video has a nice video with explains for what he is running)
Larry Lessing, the person behinds Creative Commons, wants to run for congress.
He wants to create a movement where money plays less influence in Washington and wants to archive that through pledging not to take money from lobbists, not to support earmarks and to support public fiancing of elections.

Thanks for the link Brutha, I got a chance to watch the video, very interesting stuff. He says he is against PACs but then justifies using ActBlue, a PAC.

Just goes to show how complex the whole process is..

You are right, I hope he will stop using it.

Yes, it is a complex and difficult problem but it's still important.

I like him saying in his video that his opponent is a good candidat living in the wrong system.
Not being personal but focusing on the system itself is a different attitude.
