Interesting fact: the average age of the score-plus marchers signed up for the walk across New Hampshire in January so far is 59 — with one 77 year old committing to the full 185 miles so far. We need more kids. We need more anyone. Join us. I’m aiming for 4 score and 7.

So the march is on. Fifteen years after Granny D started her march across the United States in the name of “campaign finance reform,” we will begin our march across New Hampshire (the long way), in the name of “corruption reform.” 

We’ve launched the #NHRebellion website. Check out the route, and think about what you can do. We need people to walk — 185 miles, in January, but we guarantee free coffee. Even if you can’t afford the 2 weeks it will take, you can sign up for any part. And best of all: Once you sign up, they give you this really cool URL so people can pledge to support you, which means supports the #NHRebellion, which means supports the next step to fixing this mess. Here’s my sponsorship link: bit.ly/SponsorLessig. here’s my “please sponsor me” request.  

Thanks to the Americans Who Tell The Truth project for permitting us to use the beautiful image of Granny D. And please do what you can to help spread the word.

Tuesday, November 19, is #[email protected] What if we organized public readings of the address? If we had a Google Mashup, which people could use to claim a corner, we could encourage as many  simultaneous readings across the country as possible. The idea would be that at, say, 12:15pm, across as many corners as possible, the Address would be read by as many people as possible. 

Can anyone hack such an app quickly? Can you let me know? comments at lessig dot org.

For those words, uttered seven-score and ten years ago, are increasingly relevant today.
