Los Angeles bans Corporate Personhood

[wolfpacmo]

In a unanimous, standing-room-only city council vote, Los Angeles has become the first major US city to ban corporate personhood and explicitly state that money is not free speech.

This vote was spearheaded by a group called Move To Amend (movetoamend.org). Do we have any ties with this group. If not, can we get some? Our goals are the same and as OWS has taught us, we are stronger together.

That's fantastic.

And, we have some ties to the group. Minor Heretic, a friend of mine and fellow PAC member, has spoken to David Cobb, one of the group's leaders, about the effort to ban corporate personhood. (On a side note, Cobb mentioned Cenk's lackluster organizational abilities, lol.) Minor is also going to be attending one of the Move to Amend's house parties in an effort to pitch the idea of joining forces.

We are definitely stronger united. We probably won't unite under a single banner or organization, but hopefully we can work in parallel, promoting each other's events and coming together for big projects. That's my vision, anyway, lol.

That's good to know. And it sounds like a good vision to me!
