Putting Your Money Where My Mouth Is
After I wrote about Lawrence Lessig and linked to his ActBlue page, I got an email from ActBlue that encouraged me to set up my own fundraising page for Lessig. I was at first skeptical but, and credit to ActBlue’s designers, it was incredibly simple. So here is my Lessig fundraising page. If any of you are inclined to trust my judgment on a candidate who hasn’t even declared that he’s running with literally zero electoral or political experience outside of clerking for Scalia and Richard Posner, then please please give.
Allow me to be serious for a second. Lessig will be the smartest man in Congress, the most thoughtful, the least tied down to any interest group and the only one who’s been a true visionary on the crucially important and often ignored issue of copyright and free culture. Oh yeah, and he’s the CEO of creative commons, meaning that any blogger who regularly uses photos from Flikr is indebted to him.
Here’s Lessig’s exploratory committee website.
Here’s his blog
Wired profile from 2002 covering his litigation is Eldred vs Ashcroft.
