Chad, can you get up a petition that people in the various different states can download, print out, and start circulating, and/or circulate by email within their states? My mother suggested this because she thinks it will work best for California; the legislature evidently needs to be pressured by a mass movement there.
I'll help you to whatever extent I can in Washington, including getting the local Democrats involved (both county and LD) and presenting it to my state senator and Democratic state rep myself. I do not think Jan Angel will help get this through, but at least Larry Seaquist and possibly Derek Kilmer may be interested, and I suspect our candidate to defeat Jan will likewise be interested. Let me know how else I can help.

I found this after I posted the blog entry. Activism Rule #1: Use existing infrastructure whenever possible.
How much longer until corporations figure out that they can run for office? We'd better get these amendments through before then; I doubt that Governor Boeing or President Exxon-Mobil will be amenable.
Good going, Chad! I'm in!
Senator Jacobsen has agreed to speak to the Party Leadership in Olympia about Washington taking the lead on this by passing this or a similar amendment to our state Constitution. Please write or call to thank him, and contact your own Senator and Reps in Olympia to get the ball rolling.

Chad, please get this to our federal elected Washington officials, as well. Thank you for your swift action...it is disparately needed.
