Greater Boston Move to Amend-Join us as we put corporate personhood and money in politics to a public vote!-

Markin comment:

I place some material in this space which may be of interest to the radical public that I do not necessarily agree with or support. Off hand, as I have mentioned before, I think it would be easier, infinitely easier, to fight for the socialist revolution that to expect that a constitutional amendment to limit corporate influence in their capitalist system would be effective.
****************
The people will be heard!Join us as we put corporate personhood and money in politics to a public vote!

Are you disgusted with the influence of big money in politics?

Do you feel the political power of large corporations has eroded our
democracy?

Do you believe corporations should not have the same constitutional rights
as human beings?

Many of us across the state and around the country believe that we need a Constitutional amendment to restore our democracy to "We the People." Big-money campaign donations drown out the voices of the vast majority of Americans, and distort both our elections and how our legislators shape the policies that affect us. The Citizens United decision has just made a bad system much worse. We need an amendment to our Constitution to overturn Citizens United and restore the vision of government of, by and for all of us. Visit movetoamend.org for information about Move to Amend and its proposed Constitutional amendment.

We will win this amendment if we build a campaign based on a strong grassroots movement!

The time is right, and YOU can help right here, right now!

Move to Amend volunteer groups in Massachusetts have embarked on a campaign to bring public attention to the need for an amendment and enable the people to demonstrate their support for it in the voting booth. We are working to place "Public Policy Questions" on the November 2012 ballot in legislative districts around the state. Move to Amend affiliates are working with Common Cause of Massachusetts and other local, state, and national organizations.

You can download an overview of the campaign, including expected language of the proposed ballot question, at our website, gbnita.org.

To undertake this campaign in your district, we need volunteers. Will you help?

TO VOLUNTEER, or for more information, contact campaign@gbmta.org, visit gbmta.org, or call 781-894-1179.

We hope you can join us,

The volunteers of Greater Boston Move to Amend
