Mary Lindsay Talk: Corporate Takeover of U.S.

Tue, Jun 28, 2011 7pm
7th & Vermont St., Lawrence KS · Cost: Free

Considering how corporate oligarchs like the notorious Koch brothers of Wichita are preventing meaningful and significant transition to a clean energy future and sustainable economy, this talk could be an eye opener. Mary Lindsay is the leader of KCMoveToAmend.org, one of many chapters organizing to reverse the Supreme Court "Citizens United" ruling that allows corporate "persons" unlimited power to funnel cash from corporate coffers directly into influencing elections.
