As the primary season comes to an end and the party conventions begin, The People’s Summit is bringing together activists from around the country on June 17-19. We’ll gather in Chicago with to build relationships and discuss what comes next for the democracy movement, and the movement of millions inspired by the Bernie Sanders campaign call to a political revolution.The People’s Summit website indicated an expansive agenda as follows:
The Summit itself will include plenary and workshop sessions devoted to key issues such as the Fight for 15, mass incarceration and criminal justice reform, voting rights and expanding democratic participation, a tax on Wall Street speculation to fund human needs and jobs, climate justice toward a sustainable economy, improved Medicare for All, the fight for free and debt-free higher education, secure retirement through expanding social security, ending HIV/AIDS, achieving Constitutional pay equity for women, and ending deportations and support for DREAMers, among others. We will take action in Chicago against the big money system of politics that expands the power of the wealthy and corporations at the expense of the people.During the weekend I sent to participants at the Summit tweets seeking to steer them towards the campaign finance reform issue and Congressional elections. My tweets were in the vein of:
In course of PPLSummit deliberations about an action agenda, please consider http://2016candidatesdeclarations.blogspot.com/2016/05/to-berniecrats.html Thank you.I have no idea what may be coming as a result of The People's Summit that will help FightBigMoney.
Can any of our FightBigMoney strategists provide a read on this?
Thank you.

Hi Rob!
ReplyDeleteThe People's Summit is totally a Bernie Supporter’s organization.

I haven’t seen an explicit statement about how they would #GetMoneyOut, but they would undoubtedly adopt his position.
Bernie Sanders: “we must overturn, through a constitutional amendment, the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision”
https://berniesanders.com/issues/money-in-politics/
But that is a losing strategy. Here’s why – the ACLU Opposes a Constitutional Amendment Overturning the Citizens United Decision
“The ACLU will firmly oppose any constitutional amendment that would limit the free speech clause of the First Amendment.”
https://www.aclu.org/aclu-and-citizens-united
SCOTUS would undoubtedly side w/ the ACLU on this issue.
Internet voting, rightly organized, CAN #GetMoneyOut – w/o an Amendment slicing up the First Amendment. Here are two explanations how:

Thanks very much, Bill. Keep on your Internet voting tack. I am continuing on the Congressional front. As to Sanders, I am sure he is continuously evaluating what to do with his movement. I would like him to do this http://2016candidatesdeclarations.blogspot.com/2016/03/suggested-sanders-campaign-statement.html.
