This is ridiculous.

"We need to educate those in power to make informed decisions on legislation concerning the internet".

What makes you think they are not informed enough? The problem is not that politicians in government are uninformed. The problem is that they succumb to the pressure of lobbies who have the money, and put their interest before those of us, the people. And are those lobbies' interests the reason why we get into wars, our civil liberties are undercut, etc.
