Hi Cory, I'm huge fan who you made shed a few tears at your Homeland tour at Busboys and Poets in DC. As controversial as wikileaks, Bradley Manning, Aaron Swartz and Edward Snowden have been, they have forced people to talk about very important issues that we face in a digital age. I wish things could have turned out differently, but is this all part of a necessary digital revolution? How can we go about it safely? How can we make it so whats currently happening can be used for progress instead of moving backwards? How big of a role do generational differences play? For example, the average age of the US House is 57 and the Senate is 62.

edit: Thought I would also add that I have your books (and boingboing) to partially thank for my growing interest in privacy, tech, and data and I'm sure i'm not the only one!

I hope dates for DC work out seeing as this city is causing so many problems that the film deals with.

I hope the private sector can innovate itself around the slacking government. the government will eventually realize what is happening and respond (hopefully not too late!)
