What is the work we are doing through Move to Amend, Olympia?
"We are calling to amend the U.S. Constitution to abolish the legal doctrine of "Corporate Personhood," which we define simply as the illegitimate notion that a corporation can claim political and civil rights to overturn democratically enacted laws. We are building a broad-based, multi-partisan democracy movement in the United States to address the reality that the federal courts have made democracy impossible. It's time to change the rules!" Thanks, Riki, for a well-articlated mission statement.
Resources Specific to Appreciating 15-20 years of work from the Alliance for Democracy, Move to Amend, Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County and many others. This is a movement that is broad-based, with 130 affiliates and partners. The following documents will give an overview of the history of corporate power in the US, and an understanding of the challenges ahead.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce embarks on road show to gut public protections - from Public Citizen
Big Business is as persistent as ever in its attempts to gut federal safeguards that protect the public from health, safety, environmental and economic hazards. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is spending millions on its effort to gut the regulatory system. Most recently, the Chamber hired former U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana and George W. Bush White House Chief of Staff Andy Card to embark on a "road show" to spread its anti- regulatory gospel. A new website designed by the Coalition for Sensible Safeguards, of which Public Citizen is a leading member, serves as an informative and fun online destination where the myths of the hired peddlers are debunked.
