Longmont Area Democrats Monthly Meeting – 2/2/2011, 6:30 pm

723 Main Street, Longmont – 6:30pm – 9pm

Please bring at least one friend with you! (read the LAD President’s challenge here)

February 2, 2011 topic:

ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT CORPORATE PERSONHOOD?

It has been a year since the Citizen’s United v. Federal Elections Commission Supreme Court decision. Every social issue you care about can be linked back to corporate control, and this decision only erodes our democracy. What can you do?

PLEASE JOIN US for the next LAD meeting as we welcome Dan Leftwich, with Evolutionary Law. Dan sits on the national board of advisors for non-partisan Free Speech For People which was formed immediately after the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling in the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case that allows corporations to spend unlimited amounts from their corporate treasuries on campaign advertising, and which threatens democracy by enabling corporations to drown out all other voices and pervert the fundamental purposes of the First Amendment.

In what promises to be an informative and energizing discussion about this most important issue, you will be ready to take the next step in strengthening our democracy.

Please bring at least one friend with you! Share ideas, meet other concerned citizens in your community, make friends. Have fun!
