John, <br>
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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>

It is headlined Overturning Citizens United. <br>
<br>
Check also Next Step for the 99% on the same page... it is also
about the amendment. <br>

<div style="RIGHT: auto">I have been having a discussion with
the Green Party on their e-mail list about my concerns about
MTA Section 1 of the proposed constitutional amendment and my
alternate proposal. It was suggested that I move the
conversation over to the scc-mta-general list. For those of
you on the GP list who have not signed up for the MTA group, I
will give you until 9PM Monday Jan 9th, 2012 to get approved
by the moderator before I start the discussion on the MTA
list. To sign up to be a member of the MTA list, send an

. I also signed up for the Education Committee list, but that
list only has 3 people on it so it seems that it would be
better to have the discussion happen on the general list that
has 36 people on it. If there are any concerns about my using
this course of action, please let me know by 9pm tonight.
Thank you.</div>
