Featured Members of Congress
On March 26, 2008 Jim Cooper was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Jim Cooper (D-TN) is officially the first member of Congress to join Change Congress, a new movement "to build support for basic reform in how our government functions." In an email announcement, Lawrence Lessig, the movement's founder, called Cooper "precisely the sort of person, with exactly the right character, to serve in Congress: serious on the issues, deeply caring about the substance of the issues, and very very smart." He has put his support behind planks 2, 3, and 4.
