WILL CORPORATIONS GET THE RIGHT TO VOTE?

The headline reads, “Montana Considers Giving Corporations The Right To
Vote” — laughable if it weren’t true.

Legislator Steve Lavin, a member of American Legislative Exchange Council
(ALEC), introduced the bill, which to the legislature’s credit was quickly
tabled in committee. Even the most uninformed citizen understands that voting is
for people, not corporations.

Wait a minute, following this attempt to endow more rights to corporations by
giving them the vote, the Supreme Court heard arguments to weaken key
provisions of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). After a number of states passed
ALEC-sponsored Voter ID laws last summer, and this latest exploit to undermine
the VRA, it is clear there’s an effort to minimize the power of ‘we the
people’ by limiting our access to the ballot box, while simultaneously
maximizing the power of corporations and businesses by giving them the vote.

Please sign the Motion to Amend petition: http://tinyurl.com/mta-motion-to-amend

It may sound completely wacky, but this is an obvious next step for corporations
because they are legally recognized as people. It’s a good thing that the Move
to Amend Coalition is educating and organizing in communities across the nation.
Only a grassroots movement determined to restore the power of ‘we the
people’ can overcome the money and power behind ALEC.

In order to be effective, we must keep growing our community, which is why we
have set a goal of 500,000 signatures on our Motion to Amend petition by
year’s end, nearly doubling our supporters. It doesn’t matter which side of
the aisle you sit on. Ours is a non-partisan—and winning issue--in red and
blue districts alike. It’s in every person’s best interest!

Please sign the petition!

We want people voting, including those protected by the VRA, and we certainly
don’t want corporations endowed with the right to vote. Help us build a
movement with power enough to reestablish ‘we the people’ as the sovereign
rulers of this great nation. Sign the petition today.

Thanks for taking action, Miriam

Gainesville Citizens for Alternatives to the Death Penalty presents: "West of
Memphis"

When: 7pm Monday, April 15th
Cost: $3-5 suggested donation
Where:  Civic Media Center, 433 S Main St

   A new documentary written and directed by Academy Award nominated filmmaker,
Amy Berg ("Deliver Us From Evil") and produced by first time filmmakers Damien
Echols and Lorri Davis, in collaboration with the multiple Academy award winning
team of Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, "West of Memphis" tells the untold story
behind an extraordinary and desperate fight to bring the truth to light; a fight
to stop the State of Arkansas from killing an innocent man.

Starting with a searing examination of the police investigation into the 1993
murders of three, eight year old boys, Christopher Byers, Steven Branch, and
Michael Moore, in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, the film goes on to
uncover new evidence surrounding the arrest and conviction of the other three
victims of this shocking crime- Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie
Misskelley. All three were teenagers when they became the target of the police
investigation; all three went on to lost 18 years of their lives-imprisoned for
cimes they did not commit.

How the documentary came to be, is in itself a key part of the story of how
Damien Echols' fight to save his own life. The film reveals how close he, his
wife Lorri Davis, along with his legal team, friends and supporters, came to
losing that battle. But as Echols, who spent eighteen years on death row,
himself has stated "... in the face of such horror, in the face of resounding
grief and pain, you cannot give up 
 you must never give up."

GCADP(Gainesville Citizens for Alternatives to the Death Penalty)is the local
chapter of Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty(FADP),a coalition of
individuals and organizations united to abolish the Death Penalty in Florida.
GCADP's local activities include: organizing vigils at Florida State Prison when
