A Corporation is a Person.
Really?
The astonishing history behind the Citizens United ruling.

As we have already observed with the recent million dollar negative advertising campaigns being waged in Iowa, New Hampshire and other states with primaries, the Citizens United ruling has unleashed a flood of money being spent by corporations and PACs to influence our elections. This ruling affects every issue True Blue Women supports, so it is important that we understand its ramifications and how we can fight against it.
Please join us! Wednesday, January 25
6:30 p.m., Asbury United Methodist Church


Mary Lindsay, an activist since she learned about corporate personhood in 2003, will give us the facts about the Citizens United ruling and the anti-democratic rise of corporate dominance in America.

This is the first of our meetings focusing on this crucial election year. You will surely come away from this meeting educated and ready to advocate! We're looking forward to a well-attended, informative and interesting meeting. Please feel free to bring your friends, and click here for a flyer to share with your friends and family.

Kansas City Move to Amend has several upcoming events that True Blue Women might be interested in. See their website for more information about Occupy the Courts day of protest on January 20 and other events.



"The great problem of having corporate citizens is that they aren't like the rest of us. As Baron Thurlow in England is supposed to have said, 'They have no soul to save, and they have no body to incarcerate.'"

- Robert Monks, from the documentary The Corporation.




 

Think

"Corporations are artificial legal entities. They are not human beings. They do not vote. They do not breathe. They do not have children. They do not die in Iraq. Why have they been given all the rights under our Constitution, except for the right against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment, and why did they obtain these rights from judges, not from the legislature?"

- Ralph Nader

Act

Attend True Blue Women's January 25 meeting and walk away educated and ready to get involved!


Hope

"Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come."

- Anne Lamott
