Lawrence Lesssig's Super PAC to end Super PACs met its second goal of 5 million. It may be ironic (using the power of citizen-funded big money to fight the big money of crony capitalists and special interests), but it's making headway.

We launched two crowdfunded campaigns. We met our first $1M goal in only 13 days. That $1M was matched by technology entrepreneurs from all sides of the political debate.

In June, we set an even larger $5M goal, which over 48,500 of you stepped forward to meet.

    I'm in favor of a Constitutional Amendment along the lines of the First Amendment. Something like: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of business, or prohibiting the free, honest and harmless exercise thereof."
