A political action that could bring real change
I signed this petition. It has been mentioned here before. I personally think this is the one move that a) could actually bring real chance and b) could conceivably pass.

I'm posting the thank you email with links to more info:
=========

Thanks for signing on to show your support for the People’s Rights Amendment, the new Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that will end the ridiculous idea that corporations are people and overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United ruling.

This Amendment is our one best chance to bring an end to corporate rule, put democracy back in the hands of people, and save America. Yes, the stakes really are that high.

It’s incredibly important that you take just a moment now, please, to spread the word and get your friends on board too.

It’s easy. Just:

1. Post this on Facebook:

For the first time ever, an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would end corporate personhood -- and overturn Citizens United -- has just been introduced in Congress. This change is crucial for the future of America and everything we value. Sign on now to show your support for the People’s Rights Amendment. http://j.mp/OurRights

2. Tweet this:

A new Amendment to the US Constitution would end #CorporatePersonhood and overturn #CitizensUnited. Support it now: http://j.mp/OurRights

3. Forward the note below along to a few friends.

Taking these simple steps will really make a world of difference. It’s crucial that all of us work together now.

Thanks,

- John

Sponsors of the People’s Rights Amendment campaign

***** PLEASE PASS THE NOTE BELOW ALONG TO YOUR FRIENDS *****

Corporations are not people.

Finally, here’s a way to end the ridiculous idea that corporations are people. For the first time ever, an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would end corporate personhood (and overturn Citizens United) has just been introduced in Congress.

We’ve got to support it. The future of America is truly at stake here. Will you join me?:
