Dear Friend:

In September the Supreme Court of the U.S.A. will try again to decide
if corporations are persons and, if so, would have all the rights of a
person; and could send as much cash as they consider effective to
candidates running for office. I HOPE THEY DECIDE AGAINST CHANGING
OUR LAWS FORBIDDING CORPORATIONS FROM USING THEIR HUGE TREASURIES TO
INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF ELECTIONS.

AMERICANS FOR CAMPAIGN REFORM HAVE TWO BILLS KNOWN AS THE FAIR
ELECTIONS NOW ACT. "What has that to do with me?" you may ask.
Sometime in the past ten years you sent me, Granny D, your email,
along with a donation or a get-well card, or signed a list and I am
using your email to write to you because you said or inferred that you
would help me when the time came and you could do so.

Now I am cashing in my chips! Would you be so kind as to make two
telephone calls of singular importance for me? The numbers are:
1-877-851-6437 or 1-800-828-0498. Both are for the Capitol. The
first call you would make, were you to accept my humble request, you
would ask for the office of your Senator, and the second call you
would ask for the office of your House Representative.

Leave a message for whom you called if he/she is NOT available. If
he/she or a trusted employee answers, please use your own words saying
something like this: "I would like the Senator (or Representative) to
know that I do not believe that a Corporation is a person. I would
like him/her to co-sponsor the Senate (or House) bill known as the
Fair Elections Now Act, HR1826 for the House and SB752 for the Senate."

If either is already a co-sponsor (as NH representatives Carol
Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes are), thank him/her for being one. If not
say, "Please consider being a co-sponsor because I am sure you would
like to please me and many of your other constituents."

Yours sincerely,

Doris Granny D Haddock
