Amendment to Allow States to Regulate Corp Political SpendingCongresswoman Donna Edwards of Maryland has introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn the Court’s ruling. Joined by Congressman John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, the Edwards amendment will ensure that Congress and the states may prohibit corporations from spending their funds for political activity. Watch the interview with Congresswoman Edwards discussing her constitutional amendment. The Framers of the Constitution intended the First Amendment to protect the rights of citizens, everyday people, not corporations. Corporations are not people. They are artificial entities created by the state with state-based advantages. In fact, the recent ruling will certainly drown out the voices of the very citizens the First Amendment was meant to protect. RALLY: END THE FURLOUGHSWHEN? February 11th from 5-6pm. WHERE? The King Kamehameha Golf Club WHY? To pressure Lingle to RELEASE funds from the Legislature to END the furloughs! Governor Linda Lingle will be coming to the King Kamehameha Golf course in Wailuku February 11th to speak. Stand side by side with other parents and teachers in this demonstration from 5:00-6pm. We will be parking along side the road. If you bring your children you might want to keep them in the car (I suggest standing next to your vehicle with your sign). LEGISLATURE Why should we act? The legislature is working to reduce or eliminate the furlough days. Linda Lingle has a history of NOT RELEASING EDUCATION FUNDS. The people need to organize and send Linda Lingle a message that she needs to release any funds from the legislature to reduce or eliminate the furloughs! Let’s rally behind this Maui Democratic Party Resolution.
