Hi, Durham friends & neighbors.  Please take a minute to help 
out:   I've been part of an Occupy Durham committee that is 
organizing a petition drive to ask the Durham City Council to adopt a resolution 
that calls for an amendment to the US Constitution that basically says (1) 
corporations are not people and (2) corporate campaign contributions are not 
speech and therefore not protected by the First 
Amendment.    Please take a minute to consider lettting 
the Durham City Council know that the enormous (and growing) influence of 
corporations on our political insitutions is dangerous to our democracy. 
 
Please forward the link on GoPetition to your friends and 
contacts (after signing it yourself of course!).
