Hi everyone,<br><br>I have been working to make sure a similar resolution has been passed for the City of Cambridge (my hometown).<br><br>Sure enough, on 10/24/11, the Cambridge City Council passed the following resolution order:<br>
<br><i>That the City of Cambridge hereby joins other communities across the
country and calls upon the United States Congress to pass and send to
the states for ratification, a constitutional amendment to reverse
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission and to restore
constitutional rights and fair elections to the people.</i><br><br>I now have a commitment from City Councilor Cheung to pass another resolution at next week's meeting -- this one would express support for Senate 772 in particular.<br>
<br>Will these actions bring us in line with what is being planned for Boston? Or do people think there needs to be additional activity out of Cambridge on this front?<br><br>Please share any ideas -- thanks again!<br>Mike<br>

Hey all,<br>
<br>
Great meetings and discussions today!<br>
<br>
Here are some helpful tools from Move to Amend about passing a<br>
municipal resolution on CU/corporate personhood. It includes a<br>
petition that was used in Madison WI, a model resolution, and some<br>
strategy tips. The link below includes a map and links to various<br>
cities and towns that have passed similar resolutions.<br>
