The DRAFT LESSIG Challenge: 1000 Donors/Volunteers in a Week

act blue
To persuade Lawrence Lessig that there is ample support in his district and beyond for a successful run at the U.S. Congress, let’s get 1,000 people in this coming week to donate to support his campaign and/or volunteer to work on the campaign. Ideally, each one of us will do both.

The account we’ve set up at ActBlue to accept contributions works like this: if Lessig decides to run, then the money is turned over to his campaign in full. If he does not decide to run, the contributions are sent in full to Creative Commons. Obviously, it’s a win-win for free culture. Donate now!

UPDATE: You can also befriend our recently established Lessig 4Congress myspace page, at http://www.myspace.com/lawrencelessig .

    I attempted to donate via ActBlue, but got the message:

    “Sorry, you have attempted to make a contribution to a fundraising page that has no active recipients.”

    I’d like to show my support for Lessig’s campaign in a tangible way but it looks like I’ll just have to join the Facebook group or something.

    I am not a US-citizen. Am I allowed to donor? I would, if I was allowed to. Can you clarify this?
