          RESTORING DEMOCRACY AFTER CITIZENS UNITED VS. FEC CASE
                                                       (Free Speech for People, Not Corporations)

          People Campaign, Program is Free, Public Welcome, Coffee and Discussion
          to follow, For further information call 617-739-9050 or visit BostonEthical.Org

           Mr. Clements will discuss the amicus brief he filed on behalf of citizen democracy groups in the 
           Supreme Court case of Citizens United vs. FEC in which he argued that corporations do not have
           speech rights under the First Amendment, and that the Congress and the States may regulate
           corporate money in politics.  Mr. Clements will discuss why, now that the 5-4 decision favors 
           corporate contributions to campaigns, the American people must respond with a Constitutional
           amendment.
