Robert,<br><p>Move to Amend coalition
members, local affiliate groups, and individual members are an
impressive group of people. Thanks to our combined efforts, we are
changing the public debate about the role of corporations in our
democracy. </p>

knew <strong>the only response to corporate rule was an all-out
grassroots effort to build a movement</strong> with enough power to
match the vast treasuries of multi-national corporations. </p><p>We do have a huge advantage over corporations in that their
treasuries are <strong>no match for an emboldened and enlightened
citizenry demanding change</strong>. That said, Move to Amend still
requires funding for our programs and services. We are $16,000 short
of our funding goals the first quarter of the year, which ends March
31. <br><br><strong><a href="http://movetoamend.nationbuilder.com/donate?e=b1f05c0c7f7f6d0b411eca1b5473537adf85793b&utm_source=movetoamend&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1stquarterfund&n=5" target="_blank">Please contribute so we can support our local
