Dear Friend -

There’s great news today in North Carolina.  Members of your state 
Senate and House have just introduced resolutions calling for:

"an amendment to the United States Constitution to restore republican 
democracy to the people of the United States, to clarify that 
corporations are not natural persons and should not be afforded the same 
rights as natural persons, and to state that money is not speech."

It’s important that we show our support for these resolutions right 
away.  Can you please call your state Senator and Representative now, 
and urge them to co-sponsor these bills (S.J.R. 937 and H.J.R. 1201)?

*Use this easy link to look up your Rep, and Senator, and call them for 
free.*

With this action, North Carolina is taking part in a growing movement 
around the country, calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn 
/Citizens United/ and make it clear that our constitutional rights are 
for people, not corporations.

Four other states have already passed similar resolutions.  North 
Carolina has a chance now to make history as just the fifth state to do so.

Here are some highlights from around the country:

·Rhode Island, Vermont, New Mexico, and Hawaii have passed statewide 
resolutions calling for an amendment.

·The state senates of Alaska and Iowa have passed resolutions along 
similar lines.

·The state house of California has also passed a resolution.

·Massachusetts’ state legislature is also working on a resolution.

·Montana is gearing up to put a measure supporting an amendment before 
the voters on the general election ballot this November.

·A state assembly committee in New York is working on a resolution as well.

·More than 250 cities, towns, and counties nationwide have passed 
resolutions calling for an amendment, including Asheville, Carrboro, 
Chapel Hill, Franklin, Alamance County, and Orange County in North Carolina.

·22 state Attorneys General, including Roy Cooper of North Carolina, 
recently signed a brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit the 
/Citizens United/ ruling and to uphold a century-old Montana law barring 
corporate money in elections.

Can you please make two quick calls now, to urge your state Rep. and 
Senator to get on board with this growing movement?:

*Click here to call your Rep. and Senator now.*

Thanks so much for your help.  Together, we really can make history and 
put America back in the hands of we, the people.

Sincerely,

- Peter
