There is such a thing as a free lunch!

Join Us in Raleigh: BlueNC friends -- I hope some of you can join me on June 22nd for a citizens lobby day about voter-owned elections and the need for an alternative to the big donation-driven system of running for office we now have. We'll help you make appointments with your state reps. National commentator, Harvard law professor and institutional ethics expert Larry Lessig will be a keynote speaker. If you sign up, please tell them Katy sent you, so I can continue to actually get paid to hang out here! :) From the Democracy NC Link of the Day:

* It’s time to make plans and register to attend the Voter-Owned Elections Lobby Day in Raleigh on June 22, sponsored by Democracy NC and other members in the NC Voters for Clean Elections coalition. The featured speaker this year is Larry Lessig, a national leader for public campaign financing and founder of Fix Congress First, a group that backs the Fair Elections Now Act and a boycott of contributions to lawmakers who refuse to support serious political reform. His fascinating multi-media presentation begins at 11 am in the auditorium on the third floor of the Legislative Building on Jones Street. But come as early as 9 am and get materials that will help you see the legislator of you choice and talk about voter-owned elections (we can help with scheduling appointments). Register now and you’ll also be signing up for a free lunch.
