I wouldn't say we need a central command, but I do think we need to have some type of well articulated platform/agenda that we can use as a foundation which is espoused by a number of "celebrity" activists. Do you think that could be accomplished?

Chomsky said yes, but that it would be hard. I can see that it would be like trying to herd cats, but I'd still be willing to work to make it happen.

Thank you for your activism. I just had the pleasure of interviewing Noam Chomsky on Tuesday, and I asked him the following question that I would also like for you to answer.

Is there any possibility that we might see a unified plan of radical reform from the likes of change agents like yourself, Chomsky, Robert Reich, Bill McKibben, Naomi Klein, etc, who come at the challenges we face from different angles and diverse parts of the political spectrum?

I ask because we (activists like those of us in Occupy, among others) could really use some visible leadership to push back against the likes of ALEC, as well as other status quo think tanks. It seems to me that just about every major reformer out there is committed to at least getting money out of politics. Can we start here and build a well organized movement that draws all of us progressives (I use the word in its literal sense) together?
