City of Sarasota Passes Resolution

At a prior meeting, Manasota Move to Amend supporters used the Sarasota City Commission's public comment period to explain how Corporate Personhood is a local issue that impacts Sarasota residents. On June 15, a resolution was on the Commission agenda. And it passed, UNANIMOUSLY.

While corporations are setting the agenda on issues in our Congress and courts, We-the-People are not; for we can never speak as loudly with our own voices as corporations can with the unlimited amplification of money. This undermines our freedom and authority as citizens. Today all five Sarasota City Commissioners agree that we need to amend the Consitution to fix this. Thank you Mayor Willie Shaw, Vice Mayor Suzanne Atwell, Commissioner Liz Alpert, Commissioner Susan Chapman, and Commissioner Shelli Freeland Eddie.
