Using OUR VOICES to correct this crooked path to special wealthy interests, we can change the system. Please support our voices by signing and sharing this important petition. PLEASE USE THE LINK DIRECTLY BELOW THIS MESSAGE Thank you. p.s. signing up for this group is not necessary and neither is being arrested. A unified voice gives strength to a purpose.
We endeavor to make change and survive the process intact. (njb)

Resist to Amend Pledge
In
McCutcheon v. FEC, the Supreme Court will decide whether or not to uphold a law that says that no one person can contribute over $123,000 directly to federal candidates, parties, and committees (that’s over twice the average American’s income).
We don’t need the Court to do any more damage to our democracy. Shaped by the Court’s past decisions, the current system of campaign finance already allows a tiny percentage of wealthy Americans to dominate our elections and political process.
The solution to this poison is the
We the People Amendment. In the face of another Supreme Court ruling aimed a further making democracy not only impossible, but actuallyy illegal, it is time for us to stand up.
Sign the Resist to Amend Pledge to commit to take action if the Court rules against We the People in McCutcheon v. FEC.
"I pledge, if necessary, to join others in my community, and engage in acts of dignified, peaceful civil disobedience that could result in my arrest in order to send the message to the Supreme Court and the Congress of the United States that we must amend the Constitution to state that corporations are not people and money is not free speech."
