[OccupyCU] Final call for Action on April 10 Township Votes, + News

[Colan Holmes]

All,

I just wanted to remind everyone to remind everyone to go their township
meetings. The original email concerning this is attached below.

I also wanted to let everyone know that the local news (WILL) has, of their
own accord, contacted us regarding the votes!

Finally, I wanted to let those who are not admins on the Occupy Champaign
Facebook page know that people receiving notices about us (our "reach")
went from 1,352 people the day before this item was posted to an average of
about 3,200 per day for several days following.

Let's make sure people who can come out and vote come out and vote!

See you tomorrow!

Solidarity,
Chandler

--- Background Information Below ---

On Tuesday, April 10 the Champaign and Urbana (Cunningham) Township
meetings will have on their agendas two items to be voted on by all
registered voters in attendance.

One item calls for an item to be added to the November ballot which urges
representatives, from the local to national level, to endorse an Amendment
which declares corporations do not have the same rights as people and
states that legislation should be pursued which challenges the  Citizens
United Supreme Court decision by re-enacting curbs on corporate spending in
elections.

Another adds to the November ballot a measure which challenges corporate
enclosure of the commons by establishing laws in Champaign/Urbana which
allow non-disruptive forms of free speech in areas where private business
can currently prohibit it, such as private parking lots and malls.
