Anil Dash has some good advice:
If you care about startups, get involved. Do you think the AT&Ts and Verizons, let alone the Halliburtons and BPs of the world, are going to just let the government leave startups alone? If you have a cool new music startup, and the RIAA sends 100 lobbyists to DC to crush you, and the current administration asks “What can we do to help you innovate?” and your answer is “STOP PISSING ON OUR FLOWERS YOU SOCIALISTS!”, how do you think it’s gonna play out?
Here’s a hint: It doesn’t end up with you sitting happily in a rose garden.
The whole post is worth a read. More generally, you can replace “startups” with your cause of choice and still get some good advice.
