I'm setting up a project in Aaron's memory for higher-volume,
lower-overhead actions by citizens willing to make a phone call to
congress on a specific income equality issue every two weeks, record
the staffer's name and willingness to issue a response on specific
questions, follow up with a free faxzero.com fax, and then get
prompted in email to either record the response in a public database
or follow up with another phone call. So it will be like Demand
Progress, but with much more frequent, focused, and persistent
actions.

There is already a little donation money to spend on python
programmer(s) willing to help out, and the prospects of much more
because we won't be comping the travel expenses or have any more
leadership than a vetted group selecting pending bills and issues to
call about. Everything will be open source and we'll have some docs
for other orgs who want to copy the whole site.

If you're interested, send me a resume, portfolio, and references.

reducing economic inequality was somehow always the appropriate
solution to each of the many social ills the group identified"
