There are myriad ways to contribute. I listed two URLs before that exemplify ways to _work_ on the problem, rather than just tossing some spare change at someone or putting up a web page to help funnel spare change.
Some other ways to help include the many efforts to make debate an actual thing (as opposed to the silliness we now call both online discussion and organized candidate debates). You can also spend your time working on simulations of government and social systems. Or you can spend your time working on community driven investigative journalism ... or open source everything.
All of these things (and more) have been posted on this very list. To imply that nobody on this list has come up with anything more concrete than tossing a few coins to a lawyer is a bit disingenuous. And, for whatever it's worth, Steve is right. Not only can we do both, toss some spare change at Lessig _and_ discuss whether that spare change will be used effectively. But that PAC is most likely _designed_ to cause discussion over and above collecting spare change ... at least as long as the discussion isn't solely to _shame_ other discussants.

It would be nice if someone here could come up with something concrete besides contributing. Rather than wait for that, I also have created a pledge page <https://my.mayday.us/t/c257-Joseph-Spinden/> for anyone that would like to contribute to the Mayday Political Action Committee <https://mayday.us/>.
