Federal Elections Commission (2010), decided that corporate money spent in elections is “free speech”, and protected by the Constitution. When it did this, it threw out decades worth of campaign finance laws that had restricted election spending by corporations, unions, and other organized groups. The ruling has also dramatically expanded other “corporate rights” and distorted the First Amendment to give constitutional rights to corporate entities that were never intended to enjoy the protections the Constitution reserves for “We the People.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>On November 6th, voters in 6 Massachusetts State Senate and 30 State Representative districts will vote on a ballot question that supports a Constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision and establish fair elections.

A ‘YES’ vote on the <a href="http://democracyamendmentmass.org/learnmore/" target="_blank" title="Democracy Amendment Referendum">Democracy Amendment Question</a> will reinforce the recent resolution passed by the Massachusetts state legislature, and make a loud call for a constitutional amendment to reserve the rights of citizens for actual human beings.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><strong><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>The Democracy Amendment Ballot Question:</span></strong><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><em><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Shall the state [senator or representative] from this district be instructed to vote in favor of a resolution calling upon Congress to propose an amendment to the US Constitution affirming that 1) corporations are not entitled to the constitutional rights of human beings, and 2) both Congress and the states may place limits on political contributions and political spending?</span></em><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>10/24 Corporations are not People! <br>Citizens United and the Democracy Amendment<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Wednesday, 10/24/12 7:00 pm USA Eastern Time<br>Occupy Boston Radio – OBR.FM<br><i>with rebroadcasts the following Monday 10:00 am and Wednesday 7:00 am.
