Lucas,
A mouth to form words. Fingers to hold a pen. A mind to think and express ideas.
The First Amendment was never meant for bodiless artificial entities like corporations. Corporations as we know them today did not even exist when the First Amendment was enacted.
Sign Public Citizen's petition for a constitutional amendment to preserve free speech for actual human beings.
And help the campaign reach critical mass by forwarding this email to friends, family, neighbors and coworkers.
The campaign is already working. The corporate shills at The Examiner newspaper in Washington, D.C., singled out Public Citizen in a column lambasting us for "calling for a constitutional amendment to limit freedom of speech." Not surprisingly, they got it wrong.
Public Citizen is fighting to save the First Amendment. Public Citizen is fighting to make sure that the First Amendment protects the people and the press, the way it was intended. Public Citizen is fighting to keep the First Amendment from being distorted to provide cover for a corporate takeover of our electoral process.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court handed control of our elections to Corporate America.
Join our grassroots mobilization to restore democracy to We, the People.
It will take hundreds of thousands of us to fight the corporate takeover. Please forward this email to everyone you know.
Corporations are not human beings. Corporations should not have the same rights as human beings.
Please help me spread the word and build a massive movement to save our democracy.
Forward this email. Join the campaign.
Thank you.
Robert Weissman, President
