Let's start a comment thread... lots of email & Web chatter about how to organize for defending the open Web. tag:opencongress.org,2012-03-27:/political_notebook_item/35806 2012-03-27T15:29:23Z Friend-of-OC Micah Sifry writes insightfully: "What's needed is a platform that is designed to connect people to each other by congressional district, that makes it easy for them to coordinate with each other. One such platform that could do the job is OpenCongress.org, which recently added group-formation to its suite of tools. A great virtue of using OpenCongress would be that the site also makes it really easy for users to research and track bills and Members, and to follow up with open letter-writing campaigns. The site was also a key hub for anti-SOPA/PIPA activism, providing a real-time nexus of information on where Members stood on the bills that was used all over the web." tag:opencongress.org,2012-03-27:/political_notebook_item/35804 2012-03-27T15:26:58Z Check out PPF's new sibling organization, a 501c4 non-profit dedicated to defending net freedom & innovation.
