[GPSCC-chat] White House Petition

[Gerry Gras]

FYI,

This morning I received an email from
Free Speech for People,
( http://www.freespeechforpeople.org/ ),
Here's the important part:
"We’re partnering with Avaaz to launch a new petition on the
White House’s official petition site, asking President Obama
to include a call for a constitutional amendment to overturn
the Citizens United case in this major speech [State of the
Union]."

The petition is now at:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/use-state-union-call-constitutional-amendment-get-big-money-out-politics/Tc8XfKdj

I am unfamiliar with White House petitions.  It might be that
that is a dynamic link and might not be available for long,
so if that URL does not work, this one works:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitions

I would prefer a petition along the lines of what
Move to Amend is trying to do (speech is not money,
corporations are not people):
     https://movetoamend.org/
but I think signing this is better than not signing it.

So I signed it at 11:58 AM and was signer #2,991.
This petition was created this morning.
