[OccupyCU] April 11 Meeting to Bring Citizens United Resolution to the County Board

[pat.simpson at comcast.net]

Hi Colan, 


I am terribly sorry - I have been so busy lately that I am "zipping" through my email and not reading it well. I was at the IMC at 6 tonight and when no one showed up, I went over to the County Board Mtg. - somehow I thought the issue was going to come up tonight. I stayed for the whole meeting, but no dice. 


Then came home and just now checked the email again. So I missed the meeting at the CPL, but hope you can fill me in at some point. 


Pat.

Subject: [ OccupyCU ] April 11 Meeting to Bring Citizens United Resolution to the County Board 




All, 

The Illinois Senate's SJR 27, a resolution calling for an amendment to address corporate spending in politics, gives us the opportunity to advance the related referenda which passed overwhelmingly in Champaign and Cunningham Townships last November. 

A campaign to get the Champaign County Board to show support for an amendment that ends Citizens United by addressing the idea of corporate personhood is underway. 


Those of us organizing in Champaign County will meet 

This Thursday, April 11 
at the Champaign Public Library 

200 W. Green Street 

in room 228 

from 6-7 PM 


Corporate campaign spending's effects on elections, and what they mean to us locally, will be addressed. Our County Board member's positions will also be explored, and actions to assist them will be planned. Finally, we will prepare to take a Resolution to the Board.

Thank you, 
Chandler Holmes
