Lessig on the Declaration of Independence

In this keynote talk at Personal Democracy Forum 2008: Rebooting the System, Lawrence Lessig (Stanford) offers a fresh interpretation of the Founders' vision of American government as one whose representatives would stand independent of corrupting influences, and calls for a new net-powered reform movement to fix the bugs in today's democracy. Lessig is the co-founder, with Joe Trippi, of Change-Congress.org. View the video. [JH]
