WE PROTEST !


The Supreme Court say corporations are people and money is the same as speech, so no one can stop corporations from spending megabucks in politics to protect their interests. WE SAY NO! Don’t let corporations steal our government. Protest with us.

Where: Byrd Federal Court House – 300 Virginia St. E.
When: Friday, January 20, 11:30 a.m. until…
(Come when you can, stay as long as you can. Bring a can of pennies – all the “speech” we ordinary citizens can afford)

TO: The People of West Virginia

FROM: OCCUPY THE COURT, CHARLESTON WV on behalf of the 99% who live on what's left after the 1% grab what they can.

BECAUSE...

  • Citizens without great wealth have become disenfranchised since the Supreme Court ruled that money is speech. Money shouts. Ordinary citizens like us can’t be heard over that noise.

  • Our state and federal governments, which are beholden to corporate lobbying money, do not seem to hear us at all.

  • Corporate decision-makers are shielded from the consequences of their decisions by the corporation, which the Supreme Court has defined as equivalent to a human being. They are rewarded by the government friends they support so generously.

  • We have ample evidence from the continuing economic crisis that corporate decision-makers will protect and promote their profit and that of their shareholders over the well-being of citizens. They take the common resources that belong to us all.

  • Far too many of the citizens in this nation are suffering because the institutions that we support with our tax dollars, including the Courts, have been removing or not enforcing laws and regulations that protect us. Instead they add laws that protect the well-being of corporate decision-makers.

We demand that our government take steps to limit corporations and to truly represent We The People. We believe these self-evident truths – that a corporation is not a person, that money is not free speech, and that We The People are in charge of our own lives. We protest by our physical presence, since we do not have the wealth to be heard loudly enough otherwise.
