| On a massive display screen, he loaded up a portrait of legendary New England
| statesman and eventual Secretary of State Daniel Webster, whose professional
| conflicts of interest would have been enough to make even the most lukewarm
| of political bloggers cringe.
|
| "Bribery wasn't even a crime in our Congress until 1853. The 19th century was
| a cesspool of this kind of corruption," Lessig explained. "Up to 25 percent
| of the voters literally sold their votes. I'm not talking about a golden
| past."

|
| And then there's the big one: global warming, and the "junk science" research
| put forth at the behest of the oil industry.
|
| "Just putting money on the table removes the conditions of trust," Lessig
| said. "Money destroys the opportunity for trust. Eighty-eight percent of the
| people in my district believe they have their votes bought."

|
| He left his role as founder and CEO of copyright reform advocacy group
| Creative Commons in April to focus on Change Congress.
