Impose democracy on the courts!
Laura

Since the Supreme Court handed down its infamous “Citizens United v. 
FEC”
decision on January 21, 2010, Americans everywhere are waking up to 
what
we at Move to Amend have been saying all along: large multi-national 
corporations,
with their insatiable thirst for profits, dominate every aspect of our 
political and
social life. They have crashed our economy, raped our environment, and 
taken
ownership of our ballot boxes in an attempt to turn our democracy into 
a corporatocracy.

Move To Amend is planning bold action to mark this
notorious date — Occupy the Courts — a one day occupation
on Friday January 20, 2012, of the Federal Courts, including
the Supreme Court of the United States and as many of the
89 U.S. District Court Buildings as we can. Inspired by Dr. Cornell
West, who was arrested on the steps of the Supreme Court last
month, Move to Amend will lead the charge on the judiciary which
created — and continues to expand — corporate personhood rights.

Colorado Move To Amend co-chair Steve Justino conceived this idea and 
has agreed to
coordinate the effort. There are lots of details to attend to: permits 
need to be requested,
guest speakers and local celebrities need to be invited, and 
promotional activities need to be
started — to name just a few.

We’re depending on you to help make this a success! For more 
information or to get started planning your Occupy the Courts event, 
contact us.Americans across the country are on the march, and they are 
marching OUR way. They carry signs that say, “Corporations are NOT 
people! Money is NOT Speech!” And they are chanting those truths at the 
top of their lungs! The time has come to make thesetruths evident to 
the courts.
We'll be adding tools and resources to our website at
http://movetoamend.org/OccupyTheCourts very soon. Check back later 
today and tomorrow.

Please get involved and help us make this action the huge success that 
— for the
sake of our country — it needs to be, please contact us, and get 
started right away!

We can't do it without you,
Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, David Cobb, Nancy Price, Lisa Graves, Laura 
Bonham,
Ben Manski, Jerome Scott and George Friday
Move to Amend Executive Committee
 
PS - Next week on November 9 we're holding house parties across the 
country.
Find a house party near you. The purpose of these parties is to plan 
our local actions for the
anniversary of Citizens United. There are federal court houses in every 
state. Attend a
house party and suggest the local action of your community be to join 
Move to Amend in
Occupying the Courts on January 20!
