I hope you saw my post a little while back with the video Lawrence Lessig made about the Change Congress project (change-congress.org). If you haven’t seen it yet, go watch it. If you have seen it, I hope you’ve signed up on their site.

We need a change in Congress. We need members of Congress to care about what their constituency care about. I know I don’t contact my congresscritter because I’m almost certain it won’t make a difference. The few times I have contacted them, I’ve either heard nothing, or received a letter detailing their stance on the subject, and why they won’t change it. We need straightforward bills that won’t be sabotaged by earmarks snuck into otherwise useful legislation. We need Congresscritters to stop taking money from lobbyists and PACs, and start relying on public financing. The people’s voice is the one that matters.

So wow. Check out the color wars on twitter. I’m not really sure how it started, but it seems like zefrank has taken control. I was wondering if ze would take to twitter, or if it would just fade into a weird little twitter page like everyone else’s, giving readers more information than they ever really wanted or needed. Its cool to see him starting craziness in some place other than his own realm.

Ugh, since about this time last week, I’ve been feeling really crappy. I don’t get sick often, but when I do, its always really bad. That’s why there were no posts this last week, and probably won’t be for a few more days.
