Change Congress

It's becoming all too clear (especially after repeatedly caving in to Bush) that Congress is at the heart of a lot of our problems. No new president (progressive or not) will be able to fix a system that is rotting at its legislative, executive and judicial roots.

That's why Larry Lessig (Stanford law professor and champion of Creative Commons) is trying to Change Congress (for those who slept through Civics class, that's the legislative branch - don't mean to be snarky, but you'd be surprised how few seem to remember this - see my previous post).

Congress is corrupt and not in the typical Tammany Hall kind of way. I'll let Lessig explain.
