[GPSCC-chat] Discussion Migration

[Wes Rolley]

John,
There are many things happening regarding getting money out of politics 
and especially the Citizen United challenge.  Bernie Saunders, MTA, an 
OWS specific position that was, just this week,  agreed to by consensus 
with the original OWS general assembly in Zucotti Park.

Dylan Ratigan Show on MSNBC interviewed Marge Baker from People for the 
American Way who talked about Citizens United and mentioned a coalition 
of grassroots organizations working on this including MTA.    It may be 
very beneficial to understand how this all fits together rather than 
just pushing MTA to change something now.

Check the clip at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37560195/#45933205
It is headlined Overturning Citizens United.

Check also Next Step for the 99% on the same page... it is also about 
the amendment.
