Hello,

With an emphasis on the part of liberation technology that seeks to empower the 
poor (and maybe increasingly, the middle class) and encourage economic 
developmentā€¦

If you are sick of paying credit and debit card fees and you happen to live in 
California, I could really use some help fighting the financial lobby.

I do have a financial stake in the issue (which pertains to financial 
regulation), but (A) to some extent we all do, and (B) I'd be on the side 
opposite the financial lobbyists, regardless. This affects all of us at 
Stanford and nationwide every time we swipe a plastic card to pay for something.

For those interested in the long and complicated history:
