We wanted to share with you the first pic from the road - the beginning of our long walk through New Hampshire!

Links and media, January 11th: 

• Huffington Post: Lawrence Lessig Walking Across New Hampshire In Memory Of Aaron Swartz

• Portsmouth Patch: Activists to Walk Across New Hampshire for Campaign Finance Reform

• Carbonated.TV: People Are Marching For Weeks For A Cause That Needs More Attention. It’s An Important First Step.

We have started our long walk across New Hampshire this morning, beginning our two week journey across 185 miles. Along the way, we will be recruiting citizens of New Hampshire into joining our #NHRebellion.

This press release was delivered to media outlets across the nation and along the route: 

Our T-shirts just arrived, and we've got a picture! 

This email was sent to residents along the path of the walk.

Between January 11 and January 24, you may see people walking along the south-bound side of the highway, carrying signs that refer to the “New Hampshire Rebellion.” As one who plans to join those chilly souls, I wanted to write to explain why.

This isn’t a email asking for money. Nor are any of us who are organizing this running for any political office. 

Instead, this email is just the facts — with a few reasons to explain the walk, and our hope for what it might revive.

As we've mentioned before, our biggest obstacle is not any sort of organized opposition, but the idea among many if not most Americans that removing the system of corruption from Washington is an unsolvable problem.

Our job as activists is to show people - not just in New Hampshire, but across the United States, that the conventional wisdom is wrong. This is a solvable problem.
