Ask HN: What can we do to show we don't support the response to Aaron Swartz?
It's clear that petitions are useless, but it's even more egregious when they're promoted by the government and left out to dry for 2 years.
We shouldn't accept this from our government.
I don't want us to be a community of sheeple who complain a little bit, but ultimately just shrug our shoulders. We shouldn't have to stand for reckless, almost-criminal, prosecutorial abuse. It's basically the same as a cop beating up somebody to "make an example"
Should we code something? Organize a rally in the major cities? Write code to make it easy to start rallies? What're some good ideas to show our discontent?
