Personally, I don't agree with many of the ultra liberal causes that the Change Congress newsletter likes to support, and I think it honestly dampens the effectiveness of their PRIMARY message when they do that. But, when it comes to their PRIMARY message and his work on the Creative Commons, I think it is fair to say that Larry Lessig is the man, and he's really on to something with the concept.

My belief is we have a vision deficit in our country and need more hope and possibility. Check out the site.

I really clicked with the message from an earlier Change Congress video: just as an alcoholic can't repair relationships and get back on his feet until he addresses his alcoholism, government cannot effectively debate and implement solutions until corruption/lobbying/campaign finance are addressed.

I needed to read/hear/see something constructive this morning, when another multi-million dollar election, this one in Massachusetts, has been decided. I share your hopes, Will.
