When CA Congressman Tom Lantos passed away last week, he left an empty seat. Those of us who have been watching Larry Lessig’s bold take-on of the flawed system of funding members of Congress were excited to see some rumblings towards encouraging him to run. The rumblings have been growing, and they’re having an effect. Larry Lessig posted a video describing his reaction to the DraftLessig (dare I say) movement. It’s fun when the person you’re trying to convince doesn’t have to be convinced to buy into the medium (blog posts and Facebook group), as well as the message.
