Our friends over at Pass Mass. Amendment are asking people to contact their legislators by May 18th and urge them to support S.53<\/a> and H.933<\/a>.\u00a0 These bills would amend the Massachusetts constitution to say that corporations are not people and may be regulated and that money is not free speech and may be regulated.<\/p>\n

As corporations and the 1% increasingly dictate what ideas get a hearing in the media and what policies our legislatures will enact, we have to roll back their power and these bills are one simple method to do that.\u00a0 If your Representative and Senator doesn\u2019t hear from you, Bills S.53 and H.933 may not be heard this session<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
