<< Hack 8 ]] 10 Government Hacks — Slides From a Talk at OSCON 2006 [[ Hack 10 >>
Hack 9 says if you don't like the debate out there, create your own: hold and film hearings on any subject you choose. I didn't think people in Washington were hearing the net very well, so I asked people I respected like Yochai Benkler, Larry Lessig, and the team of Farber and Cerf to come to where I work and give talks. They all spoke truthiness to power (though in Washington you can never be sure the power is switched on), but I certainly enjoyed hearing what they had to say.
Like the other hacks, this works at any level. The more obscure the governmental body or issue, the more likely your alternative hearings will look important and maybe even reach through the fog and change a vote.

This clip has a restrictive license (no derivative works) because it reuses a small amount of footage from Brazil to illustrate the use of the symbolic metaphor "tubes" as used in modern literature and culture and which is present here as fair use for this news series/social commentary/parody of compelling public interest of a noncommercial nature.
