Re: Washington and the telcos
Of course. Chris's point was that, on the whole, techies aren't taking those guys on in a serious way.
We have money too. Why aren't we buying politicians?
That's why Chris wrote, Searls calls on EFF and Larry Lessig, not on TechNet or John Doerr. He ignores the role that campaign contributions (Shedding their civics book aversion to political reality, Doerr and TechNet have given often in recent years).
She's right to call me on that oversight. Her points We need to play hardball, smartball and realball too. This isn't to take anything away from the good work being done by the EFf and Larry Lessig. But we need to do more. And do it differently. Chris knows politics better than anybody I know, and she's on our side. Let's listen.
