The Tech Committee of DRAFT LESSIG has organized a three-day, hackfest extravaganza.  Head over to 4Lessig.org, led by our tech chair, for details.

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 .

We think that Lawrence Lessig would make a terrific member of Congress. We’ll use this site to keep track of what people are saying about the possibility of his running. We have no reason to believe that he actually might, but think that he should!

If you’d like to blog here or otherwise help out in encouraging him to consider a run, let us know. In the meantime, sign up for the DRAFT LESSIG group in Facebook.
