SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY (January 4, 2011) – The MoveOn Sullivan NY Council is organizing a Day of Action on January 21 to seek the community’s support for an amendment to the United States Constitution. 

Two years ago on this same date, the Supreme Court, in the Citizens United vs. FEC decision, ruled that corporations are "people," and the Constitution guarantees the right of free speech to people, so therefore, corporations are entitled to make unlimited donations to political campaigns.

As a result, corporations have already poured millions of dollars into political campaigns.

The January 21 Day of Action will demonstrate MoveOn’s desire to overturn the effects of the ruling by supporting an amendment to our Constitution to establish that corporations are not people, and do not have the same rights as human beings. 

To be a part of the Day of Action contact MoveOn Sullivan at moveonsullivanny@gmail.com.
