Supreme Court Decision is an Outrage: Sign the Motion to AmendOn January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. FEC, 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. The Supreme Court is misguided in principle, and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule.
Join Liberty Tree and our many partners in the Campaign to Legalize Democracy, as we move to overrule the Supreme Court. Go to www.MovetoAmend.org right now and sign the motion.  Events:ASSEMBLY HEARING: Safeguard Wisconsin's Guard Bill(March 9, 2010)Assembly Bill 203, the bill to enact legal safeguards to protect Wisconsin's National Guard from unlawful overseas deployments, has been scheduled for a hearing before the Assembly's Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on March 9, 2010. Please join us, so that the hearing room is wall-to-wall with people who care about our Guard members and families and want to see them protected from misuse by the federal government.
