My friend whurley has launched an online poll to bring open source to the attention of politicians -- specifically, the presidential candidates. He, like many of us, is troubled by the recent calls for patent reform put forth by larger companies that may wind up blocking innovation and threatening open source-oriented companies and contractors.
You can view the poll here and vote for which candidate you believe is best for the open source community. (Don't worry: "None of them" is an option!)
