Empower yourself by connecting to people and sources you trust to give you the best information available, do your best to form your own conclusions with that information, and find a voice within yourself that is both passionate and clear. I struggled with that in and out of college because there is a lot out there and it is easy to self-overwhelm. Listen to what matters to you, even if that doesn't come quickly, give yourself the benefit of devoted time to listen and process. You won't regret it.

Professor Lessig, since other non-profits and organizations in their efforts for shaping policy are (indirectly) weakened by the current engine of campaign finance, why do you think we haven't yet seen more of them sign on and include MAYDAY in their fundraising channels?

Kickstarter uses something called Stretch Goals that might be helpful in devising something for MAYDAY's next round :)

Already answered below in this post. And speaking for myself, if the campaign does not reach the $5m goal on Friday, I refuse to just let our current system remain the status quo. Like others I will continue to explain the primacy of this issue to others and look for ways to contribute to the movement.
