hmmm .... looks like an interesting startup-gig to get the tech and stuff in place, but whether that is long-term for somebody like you, I don't know.

I'm a little worried that the focus with these various groups: pccc, change-congress, sunlight is somewhat diffuse when it comes to the congress ("what exactly do all these progressives want?").  But, that's a political/marketing thing.  There have a been a variety of PAC efforts in the past, but maybe you guys can get it right.

The contribution folks like us make most effectively is putting a solid tech grounding (and vision for how to interrelate with the public) in place.

Podesta's folks will certainly be interested in what you are doing there.
