Move to Amend

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Move_to_Amend

Move to Amend is a national, grassroots organization that works toward removing the
influence of money in politics by calling for a constitutional amendment ending corporate personhood
and declaring that money is not speech. The nonpartisan group was created in response to
the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission Supreme Court ruling. The ruling utilized the legal
concepts of corporate personhood and the equivocation of money and speech to overturn certain
campaign finance restrictions on the grounds that they infringe on corporations' first amendment rights.

Move to Amend considers corporate personhood and the consideration of money as speech to be
illegitimate legal doctrines that disrupt the democratic process by granting disproportionate influence
to the wealthy.

Move to Amend was instrumental in getting the Los Angeles City Council to vote unanimously
to end corporate personhood on December 6, 2011, though the vote was largely symbolic.

We the People, Not We the Corporations http://movetoamend.org/amendment

On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission,
the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons, entitled by the U.S. Constitution
to buy elections and run our government. Human beings are people; corporations are legal fictions.

Inspired by our friends at Occupy Wall Street, http://www.occupywallst.org
and Dr. Cornel West, Move To Amend is planning bold action to mark the second anniversary
of the infamous Citizens United v. FEC decision!

We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's
ruling in Citizens United, and move to amend our Constitution
