trust in the very idea of government. that differences might be differences of good faith. that agreement might be won for the right reason.

i want to thank everybody for coming here today and especially the people who were here from the beginning

we are here to talk about the future of the net.

my vision of the future of the net is the same as the vision i enunciated ten years ago.

cyberspace is an integrated media realm of stories told and shared by digitally connected and enabled hearts and minds.
WE are the Future of the Internet. We have good stories to live and to tell.
let us make our stories represent our values of
open code
open access
open talk
open education
let’s bridge the digital divide
let’s build the commons of the net

thank you pablo. i will forward you an interesting story

Hello Charlie.

My name is Pablo Baqués and I shared with you lunch at Berkman today.

I am interested in the CASINO bill from several angles.

One. I live in Newport, RI, where we have a vociferous group that makes opposition to casinos about 60% of their daily activities.

Two.Like you, I see many possible favorable outcomes from the study of games. I have authored myself a program called The Necklaces (read about it here), which, although not strictly an “outcome” game does rely on imagination and creativity to “win”.

Three, I am a history buff in my scarce spare time, and this struggle in Newport falls within my interest ( I love Newport, and would like to see it turn a little more liberal and less stuffy). And yes, I also want to learn more about these “earmarks”!

If I can find it, I would like to share with you a past edition (UNavailable on line, sorry…) of our very own Newport Daily News  www.newportdailynews.com) relating to a town meeting where the casiNO group expressed loudly their views…

Also, I wanted to thank you for making what seemed to have turned into a blank Tuesday at Berkman one of the most interesting and lively.

take care.
pablo

i listened yesterday and watched your concession speech. while there was much to commend it, i felt there needed to be less and more, less down, more warmth and affirmative strategy. we need to reach out to jackie speier, see her smiling face, not just a locomotive.

larry, you formulated an excellent strategy to change congressional corruption: a stunning internet-sparked win by you and ccc attracting both local and national attention, even international, would have made ccc attractive for other candidates in future races because of ccc’s demonstrated capacity to deliver votes. okay, you misjudged the challenge and have decided not to run. but your strategy works even though you are not the one who wins with it. if you throw your energy into supporting jackie speier’s election by a turnout in your district that so far exceeds what would otherwise be expected without support of ccc, that would make evident the potential strength of ccc for other candidates. your district would make a statement, led by their new congresswoman and their leading academic, backed by ccc and the interest and support you can raise. we can focus celebrity and intelligence on the april 8 election to express our message.

you don’t need to be the candidate.

don’t be down. though you are understandably disappointed at disengagement, no need.
a movement has started and this way we get to keep you as professor.

respect

eon

what are your thoughts when facing an opponent.
— there is no opponent.

will you agree that if we turn out a vote for you 15% higher than your expectation that you will adopt the CCC pledge

Hey, Larry — What exciting news! I very much hope it works out. I’ll do what I can to support you, including coming to (and maybe co-hosting) the March 13 breakfast event for you in Cambridge. – Larry Tribe

sorry. actually, i was thinking we should issue a press release announcing your support. i was about to ask your permission to do this and hit send instead of save by mistake. i’ve been blogging about it this morning and looking for other support. thanks for yours. the Change Congress strategy larry has adopted seems both practical and effective.

nice to see you in the square. you look fit. i hope you are well, considering all.

Thank you Larry and Charlie,

I’m grateful to everyone for their support. As you know, I don’t shy away from losing. But choosing to lose in a way that is certain to harm the movement is not yet a disease I have.

Another Member of Congress, supportive of our work, is asking that directly. It would be a logical thing for her to do, and costless, since she does not need lobbyist/PAC money to survive in the safe district in which I live.

Better story (IMO) is how Lessig’s dalliance inspired someone else, and how the open culture movement is getting behind that person or preparing to find an open seat and and a candidate elsewhere.

wayne last night points out to me ethan’s dynomite blog Don’t Stop Believing with its story of journey and ethan’s hope seen in it that internet can bring us to a better world.

My hope for the internet is that it blurs the idea of nationality, letting people find the most talented collaborators around the world, regardless of their language, culture or national origin.

all respect to ethan zuckerman
he lives his hope in action

action

we need press releases of support events to impel larry lessig along his journey to the united states congress

we support his Change Congress CC campaign.

we support not just larry lessig’s election but his three-point Change Congress CC Campaign,
which means moving it onto the agenda in our own district and conceptualizing it as a national and internationally supported campaign.
