Lesterland
C-SPAN User Clip
CSPAN recording of event at Cato Institute, January 23, 2013, reflecting on the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC (2010). Lessig analogizes our current system for funding campaigns to "Lesterland" — a place where the people called Lester get to decide who gets to run, equivalent to America where the funders of campaigns (significiant funders are as common as people named Lester) descide who gets to run.
