A comment on MayDay PAC.

I'm frankly surprised that there is any sort of funding shortfall for this idea. For US-based profitable start-ups or established companies, this is absolutely in your best interests.

Two issues alone, Net Neutrality and the NSA overreach directly impact your ability to operate or expand globally and should be of major concern to smaller US-based technology companies.

It's not like Lessig is some nobody. If anyone has the ability to truly pull this off, and make change, I'd put my money on him.

Lessig is probably the only honest reason I'm donating. I've been following his career for quite some time and a lot of the things he's written are persuasive and coherent and insightful. There are similar SuperPACs (WolfPAC) but, again, I wouldn't have been super aware of them if it weren't for Lessig and some of my own research.

I've donated $100 three different times. I just got to the point where I have to do something and this seems like a good start.
