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
