This was a really interesting post that I found on the Sunlight Foundation's Sun Spots blog [1]:

"Earlier today, Lawrence Lessig [2] spoke about Change Congress [3] at the Free Press' [4] fourth annual National Conference for Media Reform [5], being held this year in Minneapolis. As always, Larry gave a killer speech [6]. You can watch an earlier speech he gave at the National Press Club in March when he launched Change Congress here [6]."

"Not to be missed: In the current edition of The Nation [7], Christopher Hayes [8], the magazine's Washington editor, profiles [9] Larry and Change Congress [10]. It's an extensive profile and a good read. ...Cory Doctorow [11] called the profile "fantastic." Hayes writes "playing David to various Goliaths (armed with a laptop as slingshot) is the defining narrative of Lessig's career." If you're a Lessig fan, it's a must read. If you're unfamiliar with this bona fide and burgeoning cult hero, check it out...And join the revolution!"
