Couldn't agree more, Alex. If you're/we're serious it's time to find or work to elect techno-issues-literate candidate and then SUPPORT THE HELL out of them when re-election time comes up. Donations to your favorite candidates are a first step--this process is not all about money yet, but money is really important.

Bucks for a professional lobbyist wouldn't hurt either.

But the best bang for your buck is coalition-building with people who are already lobbying for free speach.
