Lawrence Lessig presented at the TEDX Boston conference

Friends,

This past Friday, Lawrence Lessig presented at the TEDX Boston conference in a continued effort to bring awareness to the need to end corruption in our political system and restore democracy.

Not surprisingly, Professor Lessig's compelling and inspirational talk is already generating some serious online buzz, attracting the attention of Americans from across the political spectrum who are beginning to recognize that until we fix this problem -namely the institutional corruption in Washington - no other problem will be fixed.

In just 18 minutes, Lessig demonstrates, in crystal clear terms, the devastating effect corporate campaign cash is having on our democracy, and in turn, our lives. Lessig makes obvious that until we as a nation take up this fundamental fight - until we strike at the root of the problem - we will continue to see our democracy crumble.

That's what makes this movement so important. It is our movement - people like you and I - that is striking at the root of the issue. You are helping to once again create a government truly of, by and for the people.

You can watch the talk here, and share it with friends, family and co-workers using this link - http://lessig.blip.tv/file/3945764/ or via facebook.

As always, thank you for being part of this incredible movement.
