iPods for Congress!

The geniuses at IPAction have started a new campaign to get iPods for all senators. Sound crazy? Not quite:

But Senator Stevens, the 82-year old committee chairman from Alaska, surprised the audience by announcing that his daughter had bought him an iPod, and suddenly Stevens had a much greater understanding of the many ways innovative technology can create choice for consumers. Content industry representatives at the hearing found themselves answering much tougher questions than they typically receive.

I'll send them $20 when I get my first paycheck from my current consulting gig -- this sounds like a powerful way to educate congress.
