You are invited to attend a presentation by La Crosse United to Amend at
7:00pm on Wednesday, June 21st at the Ho-Chunk Nation Office
at 724 Main Street, La Crosse.
George Penn, from
Wisconsin United to Amend, will explain our plan to petition the
City of La Crosse to put a resolution to referendum on the April 2018
ballot. It is a call for a constitutional amendment that will assert
that a corporation is not a person and that money
is not speech. This is the first and most important step in the process
of removing the
damaging effects of big money on politics.
Over
100 Wisconsin municipalities have already passed this resolution and
we hope to exert enough pressure on the elected officials in the
Wisconsin legislature so they too call for this amendment and join the
19 states that have already done so. Local referenda
like ours have all passed, with an average of 79% of voters in favor, so we
know that
people of all political persuasions are frustrated with the moneyed interests drowning out the voices and votes of citizens.
La Crosse United to Amend is nonpartisan and we welcome everyone who shares our concerns to join us. Please invite others to attend our meeting.
