Many think that the Citizens United decision was a recent aberration in the Court’s long history of protecting and expanding personal liberty, but such is not the case. The first Supreme Court case conferring the rights of personhood and citizenship on a corporation was decided in 1809; dozens of cases have expanded those rights ever since. Corporations have prevailed in the vast majority of their cases before both the lower courts and the Supreme Court. Citizens United is merely one of the landmarks in a long string of victories that continue right up to Epic Systems Corporation v Lewis in May of this year.
Come and join us to learn this fascinating and somewhat chilling history and to explore what you can do to help reverse this trend and restore our Republic to the control of We the People.
This non-partisan educational forum features a panel of members from the Jefferson County chapter of Move to Amend, a national organization founded in 2009 whose purpose is the restoration of our democratic republic by removing corporate money from the electoral process. The Citizens United decision in 2010 has made it obvious that the only certain way of ending the ever encroaching power and influence of corporations in our elections and government was through the ratification a 28th Amendment to the Constitution that specifically defined the rights of “natural persons” and the rights of “artificial persons” in the election process.https://www.facebook.com/jeffcoamend
