The secret is finding a contested race. Take a look a little deeper on the site (at the articles from Roll Call and local newspapers) and feel free to send the candidate email asking why he can win (hint: North Carolina just went through redistricting. Though Howard Coble is safe, careful hacking of the ArcInfo files put Robin Hayes, a DMCA supporter that Tripp is running against) in a new district that is majority democratic.
In North Carolina has come out against the DMCA, and is sympathetic to the cause. See Tripp Helms' website. He has been profiled by Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill, and is ahead in the polls. He's been featured on Greplaw and John Perry Barlow has made information about him available by electronic listserv. If you are thinking about helping a candidate this election cycle, listen to some of the mp3's of Tripp speaking.
The way out is to support candidates who oppose the DMCA (we are looking for more). See the site of Tripp Helms, who was profiled in Roll Call this week. Contribute through PayPal and help one of Coble's North Carolina buddies retire.
