I’M ASKING!

TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN!

The coin represents political power.

On one side of the coin is Move to Amend and those in the struggle for real democracy. We believe in people, and if our history teaches us anything, it shows the power of people to right injustice through social movements. We are building a broad and deep democracy movement. 

We are seeking political power to transform government so that we may finally secure a functioning democracy, which:

· Recognizes that all people are people with unalienable rights,

· That corporations are NOT people with Constitutional rights,

· That money is not a protected form of political speech, and

· Is the instrument through which social, economic, and environmental justice will prevail.

On the other side of the coin is the American Legislative Exchange Council(ALEC) comprised of publicly and privately held, often multi-national corporations and elected representatives. ALEC seeks to maintain and expand its already significant political power, which:

· They wield to pass corporate-written legislation,

· Benefits their bottom lines and the re-election campaigns of member legislators,

· Seeks to diminish the rights of “We the People,” and

· Permanently establishes a ruling class of haves and have-nots.

At this crucial moment in our history the coin has been tossed into the air. It is still on its way up, flipping over and over. Will it be heads or tails? Democracy or oligarchy? Move to Amend or ALEC?

Move to Amend's recent Election Day successes are the result of a growing movement, but we cannot rest on our laurels. We must continue to grow to keep winning and building the democracy movement. It all begins with our Motion to Amend petition.

Our goal is 25,000 more signatures on the petition by the end of this year. Will you ask ten friends to sign the petition today?

We may be two sides of the same coin, but the outcome of this coin toss will have serious repercussions for all generations to come. Share this link today to help us reach our goal and grow the movement. http://movetoamend.nationbuilder.com/petition

We cannot afford to lose the great American coin toss.

Yours in the movement,

Daniel Lee, David Cobb, Egberto Willies, George Friday, Jerome Scott, Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, Laura Bonham, Edgar Franks, Richard Monje, Virginia Rasmussen
