Is Democracy for Sale?

Do you agree that America works best when our government is by "ALL the people," not by leveraged, unaccountable special interests?

Is money speech? The United States Supreme Court defined money as speech in Citizens United v. FEC.  Since this landmark ruling campaign spending rose 427 percent in the 2010 elections. Spending in 2012 may reach over $8 billion.

Do you want to discuss the issues and seek solutions?

A concerned citizen's group is inviting you to attend a nonpartisan discussion on the legal, economic, political and social consequences of the 2010 U. S. Supreme Court Citizens United v. the Federal Elections Commission decision. The discussion will be on Flag Day, June 14, 2012, at the Wichita Boathouse, 7:00 p.m.

Ms. Laura Dungan will moderate the discussion.

Panelist are:

Russell Fox, Professor, Friends University

Louis Goseland, Sunflower Community Action

Davis Merritt, Journalist and Author

David Hansen, Interfaith Worker Justice Kansas
