Hello My name is Michael, I live in Paramount, Ca how can I help?

 

Hi Michael,  It is always good to hear from new voices.  There are several things you can do. 

1.Go to the www.movetoamend.org web site and sign on to the movement.  That way you can stay informed of what is going on across the country and learn about how personhood came to be an issue. 

2.Put a sign in your window saying "Corporations aren't people"  to notify your neighbors that you understand the issue and can explain it to them.

3.Confront all the candidates that you plan on voting for and ask them to support a Constitutional Amendment to Abolish Corporate Personhood.  If your candidate can't make a public commitment to do that, tell them that they do not represent the people; they represent corporations and don't deserve your vote.
4.Pass a resolution in your social groups, the Kiwanis Club, The Eagles Club, Knights of Columbus etc. to support this Constitutional Amendment.

5.Then, get a bunch of your friends together and go to the next municipal council meeting and find one of the council members to introduce this resolution for a vote.  Bring public pressure to bear on them until they do. 

 

Remember, if they cannot pass this nonbinding resolution to support a Constitutional Amendment to Abolish Corporate Personhood, then they are not representing the people. It may take some time to get this accomplished.  Set little short term goals along the way and celebrate each one as you accomplish it.

Robin and I have set a goal to pass this resolution in every municipality in Minnesota before the 2012 elections.  Wish us luck.  We'll need a lot of help. We are going to try to get the Saint Paul, citizenery involved.  We have aranged for a rally on the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol building on November 5th to start the movement off.

 

Good Luck and stay in touch.  If you need anything that we can help with let us know.
