[ubuntu-us] Idea: A How to Lobby Guide

[Nicholas Wheeler]

I concur, we definitely need this documentation. We have large bodies
of groups who are capable of political action for free(open) file

DC LoCo Team, I would be very interested in seeing the documentation
you guys come up with ...

Thanks for the effort!
