People can bitch and moan all they want on HN, but how many actually took the time to call her office? I did and the aide wrote down my support of the amendment. If the 1000s of readers of HN had all called, she probably may not have voted against it (but may still have convinced others to do so).
What we need is someone to run against her. Someone sane and not a cuckoo. She's old-school, represents the establishment, etc.; someone young, tech savvy and willing to spend the time could put up a tough fight.
Anyone thinking of running against her: I can promise you that I will work for your campaign for free and pound the pavement like crazy. Let's do it!
- goldfeld 13y agoHey now, why isn't there a platform where people can get in-kind crowdfunding for campaigns? Just like open source projects get a lot more help in terms of man-hours than money, so could people from the tech community running for office.
- ajays 13y agoThat's a good idea: crowdfunded elections for the underdogs.
