Making a Difference
- Connect Online
- These two groups are seasoned political advocacy stalwarts and worth checking out. Public Citizen has been around since 1971. Free Speech for People was founded on the day of the Citizens United decision in 2010.
- Raise Awareness
- Treating corporations as though they have First Amendment rights is affecting all areas of our lives. March with us on the 4th of July as we parade our mascot Octi and expound on the tentacles of deceit. Or host a House Party that can be organized around one of two themes, education or the economy.
- Speak Up
- Ask your candidates questions. Does she or he think corporations should enjoy first amendment rights meant for people? Do they believe money is the equivalent of free speech? Does your candidate support the passage of a 28th amendment to reverse the 2010 Citizens United decision?
- Narrow Your Focus
- Urge the current president to use an executive order to require government contractors to disclose their political spending. Tell the Securities and Exchange Commission to require publicly traded corporations disclose their political spending to shareholders.
- Join Us
- Join us at our steering committee meetings once a month on Saturdays from 1-3 p.m. We meet at 1127 E. First Street in Bloomington. Call 812.336.6671 for the date, as they vary.
