Professor Lessig,

I recently watched you in a screening of the Internet's Own Boy, which was heartbreaking. At the Q & A with Aaron's father, I asked how the audience could best contribute towards improving the system that led to his tragic death. His answer mentioned your PAC, which is how I've heard of it. What other ways can we contribute aside from donating money to MAYDAY?

Do you foresee a big political protest movement in the future similar to the unrest of 2011 but more successful?

What is your opinion of Piketty's Capital?

Thank you.

What do you think of third parties? Our political system is uniquely set up to result in a two party system (first past the post, winner take all, among other features). Is there anything that should change about our electoral system to avoid this? Many European democracies have coalitional governments, countries like Australia have compulsory voting, etc. Is it time to get rid of the Electoral College? If a third party had an actual chance of winning, what would it be like?

I'm not a US citizen, but contributed anyways. The rules say that permanent resident aliens can also contribute.
