Hello Mr. Lessig,

I'm excited for the possibilities - I think this will be an interesting fight to see play out.

Two questions:

  1. The New Hampshire walk certainly seemed well received - but do you have any real measure of the impact? Do you feel like it will make a real difference in the upcoming campaigns?
  2. For MAYDAY - there's a sense in which it feels small to me. When we talk about elections we talk about funding from so many multi-billion dollar net worths it seems, so a goal to raise $1 million seems small. Forgive me if this seems naive - but can't we just convince Warren Buffet to write a check for $1 billion and be done with the whole thing? Or perhaps that's an exaggeration - but aren't there very high-net-worth individuals who have spoken out against corruption? Are there so few of those willing to try?
