Change Congress :: This is a political activism group started by Lawrence Lessig to focus on opening up the financial operations of Congress. The big picture goal is to reduce corruption and special interest activity that damages democracy in this country. I exchange emails with Professor Lessig and we are currently working to start a chapter in Texas to be homed here in Austin, since we're the capital.
