S6E6: The Race to Gather Signatures

On this episode, Lessig chronicles the next chapter in the story of
the Maine initiative. We had an idea — based on
FreeSpeechForPeople’s brilliant argument — for an initiative. And
Mainers were excited about the idea. A poll showed overwhelming
support for the initiative. We just needed to raise the funds to
get the signatures gathered. That proved to be an enormous
challenge — unsurprisingly, as our theory of victory included
convincing the Supreme Court we were right. This episode tells the
story of how we got the signatures gathered.
