Stanford Law professor, Lawrence Lessig, has been up to his usual awesomeness.
A few months ago he rolled out two excellent slide shows on why he supports Barack Obama (here and here). I definitely recommend checking these out… they are both reasoned and persuasive.
My own introduction to Lessig’s work was through a different slide show on free culture back when I was in college. Since then, I’ve read several of his books (available for free on his site), and created/used many Creative Commons-licensed works.
Beyond the two Obama slide shows, Lessig has also started a new non-partisan organization called Change Congress with the following noble goals:
- No money from lobbyists or PACs
- No more earmarks
- Increased Congressional transparency
- Publicly-financed campaigns
