February 11th is the one-year anniversary of the day Walker and his funders launched their all out assault against everything that makes Wisconsin a great place to live, work, and learn.  It also marks the anniversary of the day the people of Wisconsin rose up in mass protest to not only “kill the bill,” but also to demand an end to the many economic and social injustices present in our society.

Come celebrate this historic day with a rally hosted by the Wisconsin Wave to mark a new holiday- Wisconsin Day!  Speakers will address the challenges and opportunities the grassroots social movement born a year ago faces moving forward.

For many of us, it was our first time experiencing the power of collective action in defense of what we all knew was priceless: quality, affordable education and workers' rights in Wisconsin.

Last month, the Center for Equal Opportunity launched an attack on the students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, trying to pit Badger against Badger to further their partisan goals. However, we resisted, we united, and we stood together in support of the holistic admissions practices at UW-Madison, reminding the CEO that we're more than our scores!

Now, our defense continues as Representative Stephen Nass (R-Whitewater) has invited the CEO to the Capitol for a closed hearing to waste time they should be spending working on job creation or lowering the cost of higher education scrutinizing our legal admissions practices at UW-Madison.

IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE RULES!

Corporations like BP and Exxon-Mobil are able to destroy our land, water and
air with impunity. Ecology and people suffer in the never ending drive for
profit. Corporate money is buying immunity and subsidies and our tax dollars
are cleaning up the mess left behind.

The Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling is just the latest — and most

See how it all ties together with marine toxicologist Riki Ott, who knows the
inside story of the Gulf Coast oil spill — the wreckage it leaves in its
wake. Even while BP makes huge profits, they still have the power say no to

Paul Cienfugegos teaches that corporate rights are at the core of almost
every environmental and social justice problem that we face. Corporate power
grew immensely toward the end of the 19th century with the dismantling of
legal restraints and the redefinition of corporations as "persons."  As
citizens, can we take our power from these fictitious corporate "persons?"
Cienfuegos says, "Yes!"

Paul Cienfuegos has been doing grassroots community organizing since the
late 70's. He co-founded Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County (California)
in 1996.  He is the co-author of 'Measure F: The Arcata Advisory Initiative

	Back in the day, corporations could only influence politics with high-paid lobbyists and backroom deals. But now, thanks to the Supreme Court and its Citizens United decision, corporations are "persons" too and have constitutional rights. So shouldn't they be able to take the final step, and run for public office?



	Well, that's just what Murray Hill, Inc. decided to do. Please join us this Tuesday in Madison and hear the story of Murray Hill, Inc.'s run for Congress, as told by its campaign manager and designated human representative. All interested humans and corporations are welcome to attend.

	A look at the Supreme Court decision Citizens United v Federal Election Commission


	Speaker David Cobb


	Cobb is an organizer with Move to Amend.org, a coalition of over 100,000 people and organizations whose goal is to amend the United States Constitution to restrict corporate power. Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that corporations can make unlimited financial contributions to candidates for federal office, leading to an astronomical increase in corporate spending during the mid-term elections.

Join Senator Bernie Sanders for a Town Meeting to discuss the issue of corporations being afforded the status as "persons" under the constitution.


What can be done to reverse the implications of "Corporate Personhood," including the recent, disastrous Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission that corporations have a constitutionally-protected right to unlimited and anonymous campaign spending?  How can we establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are entitled to constitutional rights.


The meeting will feature a keynote address by Thom Hartmann, host of the nationally-syndicated "Thom Hartmann  Program" and author of “Unequal Protection: How Corporations Became ‘People’ – And How You Can Fight Back”.
