Pete Ashdown on his Run at the Hill

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mad-dash-for-all-the-cash dept.

adamdrayer writes "Wired recently conducted an interview with Pete Ashdown, the tech-minded ISP owner who is hoping for a major upset in the race for Utah's Senate seat against long-time incumbent Orin Hatch. Ashdown hopes to help pave the way for better decision-making on the Hill regarding technology. Hatch is among the more conservative politicians on the issues of 'digital privacy' and 'fair use,' while one of Ashdown's main objectives is to reform the Digital Millennium Copyright Act."

    guess again, dean didnt put him up to this, dean didnt pay him to do this, hes doing it because it should be done. DNC paid zip to this campaign

    Actually Dean did do something. He shook my hand twice over the course of the past 18 months, then promptly forgot all about me.
