i had wanted to talk with the speaker about the oped i’m expecting the globe to publish tomorrow (attached) and to brief him on the March 18 Don’t Criminalize Online Poker Rally, which i expect will bring out a lot of young people in “how crazy is that?” t-shirts. that was to be for openers.

patrick opened with the his casino bill
dimasi calls him on his numbers for dollars and jobs
full of bullshit made of near thin air
patrick leads out again going over dimasi’s head direct to his membership with letters to each rep
challenging dimasi to present a better alternative
dimasi calls and raises
threatening to kill the bill outright in committee
patrick calls
begging to let the bill go to the floor
showdown
dimasi can kill it in committee
dimasi can kill it on the floor
he does both
let there be no doubt
nice hand
nice pot
next hand
action to dimasi
does he come with an alternative
thank you popcha, thank you trevor and ken

sorry. actually, i was thinking we should issue a press release announcing your support. i was about to ask your permission to do this and hit send instead of save by mistake. i’ve been blogging about it this morning and looking for other support. thanks for yours. the Change Congress strategy larry has adopted seems both practical and effective.
nice to see you in the square. you look fit. i hope you are well, considering all.

Sure, a press release would be fine. I’d like to see the text first, of course. Good to see you in the Square too. Yup, I’m fitter than ever, brain tumor and all. Actually, I’ve gotten into the proton radiation treatments. Once I got past the idea of having my head stuffed inside a special “immobilization” mask that covers my nose and mouth and makes it hard to breathe for 25 minutes every day, I took the opportunity to do some meditation, and now I look forward to the damn treatments! Hope you’re doing well. Take care,
Larry

Thank you Larry and Charlie,
As I will be explaining more extensively later today, after the most careful consideration, I have decided it would harm the cause more than help for me to run. On Friday we got the results from an extensive poll conducted by one of the leading political pollsters in the nation. The race would not just not be winnable; it would not be possible to get even close. The election is just over 30 days away; the candidate I would be running against is literally the most popular politician in the region (positives above Obama and Clinton and every other politician). With $2m in hand today, or a promise from Barack Obama to be in the district next week, it might be possible. But there isn’t the predicate to move people that far that quickly. And my fear in the end was that a wipe-out defeat would send the message that the reform message has no political salience. As our pollster said, the data show it does have salience, and could well be effective, but won’t be effective in this district in 30+ days.
I’m grateful to everyone for their support. As you know, I don’t shy away from losing. But choosing to lose in a way that is certain to harm the movement is not yet a disease I have.

Another Member of Congress, supportive of our work, is asking that directly. It would be a logical thing for her to do, and costless, since she does not need lobbyist/PAC money to survive in the safe district in which I live.

Better story (IMO) is how Lessig’s dalliance inspired someone else, and how the open culture movement is getting behind that person or preparing to find an open seat and and a candidate elsewhere.

wayne last night points out to me ethan’s dynomite blog Don’t Stop Believing with its story of journey and ethan’s hope seen in it that internet can bring us to a better world.
My hope for the internet is that it blurs the idea of nationality, letting people find the most talented collaborators around the world, regardless of their language, culture or national origin.
all respect to ethan zuckerman
he lives his hope in action

we need press releases of support events to impel larry lessig along his journey to the united states congress
we support his Change Congress CC campaign.
we support not just larry lessig’s election but his three-point Change Congress CC Campaign,
which means moving it onto the agenda in our own district and conceptualizing it as a national and internationally supported campaign.

colvin is right, and brilliant, schools train the kids to beat the cops to get out of an authority structure that makes them feel bored and stupid.
i want presbelewski and colvin to be teachers in my school.
i want kids to watch the wire with me and then come back and go over and say where the mistake was made and what was the other choice.
i want to convey how much i want to teach
google hypothetical: future of university
mission of university
position of the assn of internet university service providers
bye bye to copyright on transactional base
open the university with a presidential poker game, all proceeds for running the open school
strategic thinking expressed in action
make your play according to assessment of position and strength of other players in your game
for an inmate in prison there are two laws, authority law and inmate law, authority imposed from the force outside that makes the prison, authority from the force within that rules the force of resistance. the stronger the compression the deeper the evil. how to teach and how to learn how to lighten up.
in baltimore two laws. colvin and prez offer strategy to change the valence of the game
think in media terms. hollywood, listen up. let me use your product in open education. me and prez teach math. a new kind of school. embrace parents and love their children. follow colvin down the path of enlightenment to the point of hope in kids. catch the light and keep it burning.
i want to show the wire in kingston prison, and talk about it. i want to show it in juvenile.

i feel like i’m trying to make a deal, trying to arrange the players in a game with civil rules top to bottom. poker is the model, a fair game fairly played.
Dear Professor Nesson,
It was a genuine pleasure to see you again and to participate in the GPSTS conference last Saturday. This was one of the most innovative and stimulating gatherings I have ever known. Bravo to you and Andrew!
I derived some insights that will be useful in my next book, Cubs Fans’ Leadership Secrets Revealed, which attempts to draw unusual yet pertinent lessons from another subject typically thought of as unrelated to leadership, policy, and the law. After all, as a lifelong Cubs fan, I yearn to see some good emerge from all that suffering. Your electrifying conference proved that poker can be the catalyst for mold-breaking ideas, and I feel inspired to do the same from within my perspective.
thank you john
I was honored to participate, Charlie. And of course I’d love to be involved
in that filmed history of hold’em. In the next day or so I’ll send what I
have on the subject.
Please tell Fern I appreciate her ordering the lobster roll, if only to make
me feel less unsophisticated. She’s a very cool lady indeed.
Andrew couldn’t have handled everything more thoroughly, or with more class.
He’s a genuine dynamo, and unobnoxiously smart on top of it all.
More after we unpack . . .
thank you jim
To Whom It May Concern:
Tim Hwang is a prime candidate for law school and for the legal profession. He sees and understands social networks. He is a student of how to build them. He understands that the structure of a functioning social network in the integrated media environment of cyber space is connected layered interests to a single focal point each object and audience for the others. He sees this in the structure of argument that makes a winning message in the space.
I refer you to his blog description of a breakfast at my house as my evidence.
Tim explores how social forces manifest themselves, for better or for worse, in technology and law. He thinks about how economic and social forces influence the design of the internet.
Tim is skilled in organization and detail-oriented work. He enjoys dealing with logistical problems, assembling resources for a
project, and collaborating with others towards a goal. He is a valuable person to have on your team. I have asked Tim to help me design and build a social educational network with poker thinking at its core. I recommend him.
