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.

If you are registered to vote in Champaign - Vote on these issues at the
Champaign City Building, 102 N. Neil St., on April 10 at 7pm... and share
this event with friends!

If you are registered to vote in Urbana - Vote on these issues at the
Urbana Civic Center, 108 E. Water St., on April 10 at 6pm... and share this
event with friends!

If you are not registered to vote, or do not live in Champaign or Urbana,
you can support these causes - Express your support for these issues and...
you know.

See you April 10!
