Action alert: Call your own state legislators to pass a free speech for people Constitutional Amendment

From a Free Speech for People email message; this is an action alert.

"Our fight for a Constitutional Amendment to ensure that people, not corporations, govern in America starts in the states.

We don’t need to wait for Washington to change.  We can generate the change we need, by focusing our energy on our state governments instead.

It’s easy to take action now, by making just 2-3 quick calls to your state officials.  Can you help?

      Click here to make a couple of quick calls.

Going to the states makes all kinds of sense:

• First, states have a central role to play in passing a Constitutional Amendment.  The Constitution says so.  We’ll want to get the states involved sooner or later, so we might as well start with them.

• Second, our state legislators are likely to be much more accessible, and more responsive to our campaign, than their counterparts in Washington.  Our state legislators work closer to home, and they have much smaller districts.  They get far fewer phone calls, so each call they get is more likely to influence them.  As a result, it may take just a couple of phone calls from us to get some of our state legislators on board.

• Third, there’s a good chance our state legislators will want to get involved.  Think about it: people run for office to to help address the big issues facing our society.  This fight for a Constitutional Amendment is an opportunity for state legislators to stand up and help lead the way to defend our democracy.  We think a lot of them will jump at the chance.
  

For all these reasons, unlike almost any other national issue we can think of, it really makes sense to start with the states on this one."

Remember, "voting turnout and activism means spreading the word!"
