>>AT WOLF-PAC.COM, YOU KNOW WE ARE TRYING TO PASS AN AMENDMENT TO
CLEAN UP POLITICS, TO GET FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS BACK IN
AMERICA, WHERE ANYBODY CAN RUN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A
MILLIONAIRE OR BILLIONAIRE OR SELL OUT TO THOSE GUYS.
WE HAVE
A LOT OF SUPPORTERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, WE HAVE ALREADY
PASSED IT IN FOUR DIFFERENT STATES, AND ARE VERY CLOSE IN
CONNECTICUT.
AS WE WERE DOING OUR CAMPAIGN IN CONNECTICUT,
WHICH WE STILL ARE, AND JOIN US, WOLF-PAC.COM, BE A
VOLUNTEER, A MEMBER, WE GOT SOME UNEXPECTED ALLIES.
WE WERE
SURPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE JOINED US.
WE SHOULDN'T BE, I HAVE TOLD
YOU MANY TIMES 96% OF AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT MONEY HAS A
CORRUPTING INFLUENCE IN POLITICS, OVER 80% OF AMERICANS
SAY IT IS BASICALLY LEGALIZED BRIBERY, AND CORRUPTION HAS
TAKEN HOLD OF WASHINGTON.
INCLUDING 83% OF REPUBLICANS.
THIS IS A BIPARTISAN ISSUE IN A LOT OF WAYS.
IN CONNECTICUT
THERE ARE A LOT OF DEMOCRATS ON OUR SIDE, BUT WE DID NOT KNOW
THAT TERRY BACKER WAS.
HE IS A LONGTIME STATE LAWMAKER, A
REPRESENTATIVE IN CONNECTICUT, HE WAS A LONG ISLAND SOUND
FISHERMEN, AND HIS FATHER WAS A FISHERMAN BEFORE HIM.
THEY USED
TO FISH FOR LOBSTER AND SHELLFISH, YOU MIGHT HAVE EVEN
EATEN SOME PRODUCTS HE CAUGHT IF YOU LIVE IN THE AREA.
A REAL,
YOU KNOW, BACKER AND LOVER OF HIS STATE, THAT IS WHY HE WAS IN
POLITICS FOR A LONG TIME.
HE WAS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE ENVIRONMENT
COMMITTEE AND ENERGY AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE FOR A LONG
TIME.
WAS FIGHTING BRAIN CANCER FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS,
BUT HE SHOWED UP TO WORK ANYWAY AND HE WOULD GIVE SPEECHES ABOUT
ISSUES HE WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT.
WE@WOLF-PAC DID NOT KNOW HE WAS
PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR SAME ISSUE, FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS, BUT IT
TURNS OUT THAT WAS THE LAST SPEECH HE GAVE IN THE
CONNECTICUT HOUSE, AND I WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU.
WE HAVE
HAD A LOT OF DRAMATIC MOMENTS AS WE ARE FIGHTING FOR THIS
AMENDMENT TO CLEAN UP WASHINGTON.
WE HAD A SUPPORTER
NAMED PERRY IN ARKANSAS WHO WAS PASSING AWAY, AND HIS LAST WISH
TO HIS FRIENDS WAS TO SUPPORT WOLF-PAC, NOT BECAUSE OF THAT
PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION, BUT BECAUSE OF THE GOAL.
WE HAVE TO
GET THE 28TH AMENDMENT, EVERY GENERATION HAS PASSED AN
AMENDMENT EXCEPT OURS.
IT IS DOABLE, WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER,
AND APPARENTLY TERRY BACKER THOUGHT THAT AS WELL.
UNFORTUNATELY HE JUST PASSED AWAY ON DECEMBER 14TH, AND MAY
WAS THE LAST TIME HE WAS ABLE TO GO IN, AND THIS WAS THE VERY
LAST SPEECH HE GAVE ON THE FLOOR OF THE CONNECTICUT LEGISLATURE.
LET'S WATCH TERRY BACKER.
>>IN CITIZENS UNITED, THE PIECE OF IT THAT GALLS MEET THE MOST
IS WHERE CORPORATIONS BECOME EQUAL TO ALL OF YOU IN HERE.
THEY ARE DEEMED PERSONS.
PERSONS.
THAT NATURAL BORN
PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND DIE, BUT CORPORATIONS THAT CAN LIVE AD
INFINITUM FOR ALL I KNOW, AND WHICH ARE ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTS OF
NATURALLY BORN PEOPLE, CREATED ON PAPER TO ORGANIZE A COMPANY,
INCORPORATED IN A FASHION TO LAY DOWN SOME RULES IN BEHAVIOR AND
TRAY FOR THEM.
YET THEY ARE CONSIDERED A PERSON.
AND THAT
GALLED ME, YOU ARE NATURAL BORN PEOPLE.
AND INDULGE ME FOR MY
FAITH ONCE AGAIN, YOU HAVE IN THE PAST, YOU ARE CREATIONS OF
GOD.
A CORPORATION IS A CREATION OF MAN, AND IT DON'T BELIEVE IT
IS ENDOWED THE RIGHTS THAT HUMANS ARE ENDOWED WITH, AND
THAT IS WHY I WILL VOTE FOR THIS.
WHAT'S OBVIOUSLY AS YOU
CAN TELL HE WAS A FAITHFUL MAN, AND HE IS SAYING THE MOST
OBVIOUS THING IN THE WORLD.
ISN'T IT CRAZY THAT IN
WASHINGTON, THEY REFUSED TO EMBELLISH WHAT ALL THE REST OF
US KNOW?
THEY SAY THAT CORPORATIONS ARE HUMAN BEINGS.
BY LAW, THEY ARE PEOPLE.
HOW INSANE IS THAT?
AND HERE IS
TERRY BACKER SAYING, OF COURSE THEY ARE NOT PEOPLE.
PEOPLE
LIVE, PEOPLE DIE, PEOPLE HAVE REAL HUMAN CONNECTIONS AND
EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS AND RIGHTS.
CORPORATIONS DO NOT HAVE
THOSE SAME NATURAL RIGHTS.
THEY ARE NOT ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR
WITH ANY RIGHTS.
THE RIGHTS THAT THEY HAVE, AND THEY HAVE RIGHTS,
ARE GIVEN TO THEM BY US, BY HUMAN BEINGS.
THEY ARE A LEGAL
FICTION, WE CREATED THEM.
NOW THEY HAVE RUN AMOK AND HAVE
HUMAN RIGHTS ACCORDING TO THE SUPREME COURT AND WASHINGTON,
DC?
AND ON TOP OF THAT THEY HAVE EXTRA RIGHTS WHERE THEY HAVE
LIMITED LIABILITY, CAN'T BE SUED?
WE HAVE CREATED THESE
MACHINES AND A RUN AWAY WITH OUR GOVERNMENT.
IT IS TIME TO GET
THE GOVERNMENT-BACKED.
I THINK IT'S OVERTIME ABOUT STATE
LEGISLATURES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY FIGHTING FOR FREE AND
FAIR ELECTIONS, I BELIEVE THEY ARE NEW GENERATION OF FOUNDING
FATHERS.
OUR ORIGINAL FOUNDING FATHERS GAVE US OUR DEMOCRACY
ALONG TIME AGO, AND SOMEWHERE ALONG THIS PROCESS WE LOST IT.
REMEMBER BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S FAMOUS QUOTE, A WOMAN COMES UP
TO HIM AFTER THEY'RE DONE WITH THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
AND SAYS, WHAT DO WE HAVE?
AND HE SAYS, A REPUBLIC, IF YOU CAN
KEEP IT.
WE WEREN'T ABLE TO KEEP IT, WE LOST THAT STARTING IN
1976 AND 1978 WHEN THE SUPREME COURT SAID CORPORATIONS AS
PEOPLE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH RIGHTS, AND SPEECH EQUALS MONEY,
SO THEY CAN POUR UNLIMITED MONEY INTO POLITICIANS' POCKETS AND IN
ESSENCE LEGALIZED BRIBERY.
CITIZENS UNITED PUT THAT ON
STEROIDS, BUT THAT STARTED IN 1978 WITH THE BUCKLEY V VALLEJO
DECISION.
THAT IS WHY WHEN PRINCETON DOES A STUDY OF OVER
20 YEARS OF POLICY, IT TURNS OUT PUBLIC OPINION HAS NO EFFECT ON
THE LAWS THAT ARE PASSED.
THAT IS NOT A DEMOCRACY.
THEY KILLED
IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, AND MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T NOTICE.
WE ARE ANGRY ABOUT IT, WE NOTICE NOW, THAT IS WHY 96% OF
AMERICANS ARE ON OUR SITE AND WANT TO GO BACK TO FREE AND FAIR
ELECTIONS, BUT THE MEDIA NEVER TOLD YOU ABOUT IT.
WHY DIDN'T
THEY?
BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BENEFICIARY OF THE CORRUPTION.
ALL THAT MONEY POURED INTO POLITICIANS AND SUPER PACS GET
TURNED INTO TV ADS, AND THOSE TV ADS GO TO THE TELEVISION
STATIONS.
SO PEOPLE LIKE TERRY BACKER ARE SAYING, WE'VE GOT TO
GET THAT GOVERNMENT-BACKED.
WE HAVE TO GET THAT DEMOCRACY BACK.
THE WAY YOU DO IT IS THIS AMENDMENT.
IF YOU JOIN
US@WOLF-PAC.COM, ANY WAY YOU CAN, VOLUNTEER, BE ONE OF OUR
WARRIORS, WE WILL WIN TOGETHER.
WE HAVE ONE IN FOUR STATES, WE
ARE GOING TO WIN IN CONNECTICUT, SO WE CAN GET THE AMENDMENT
WITHOUT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON WILL NEVER DO IT, IT IS
COMPLETELY CORRUPTED.
THE VIRUS HAS TAKEN OVER THE BODY POLITIC
IN WASHINGTON.
WE HAVE TO DO IT AT THE STATE LEVEL.
REPUBLICANS
AND DEMOCRATS CAN AGREE, WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER.
DON'T FORGET
TERRY BACKER'S WORDS.
I KNOW I AM GOOFY, I QUOTE MOVIES AND ONE
OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES IS FROM GLADIATOR, BUT I THINK IT IS
TRUE.
HE SAYS IN THE MOVIE, AS YOU KNOW, MAXIMUS DOES, WHAT WE
DO IN LIFE ECHOES IN ETERNITY.
AND IN REPRESENTATIVE BACKER'S
CASE, I THINK IT IS TRUE.
HE IS PART OF THAT FIGHT, WE WILL WIN
THAT FIGHT, GET THAT AMENDMENT, AND THEN PEOPLE LIKE TERRY
BACKER, THE HARD WORK THAT THEY PUT THEIR LIFE INTO WILL PAY
OFF.
AND HIS LAST VOTE WILL PAY OFF, AND HIS LAST SPEECH WILL
PAY OFF.
AND THE WORK OF THESE NEW FOUNDING FATHERS, THE STATE
LEGISLATORS, TO GET OUR DEMOCRACY BACK WILL ECHO IN
ETERNITY.
THE CONSTITUTION IS SUPPOSED TO BE AMENDED, THAT IS
WHAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS SAID.
THEY PROVIDED THE AMENDMENTS SO
WE COULD HAVE A MORE PERFECT UNION AS WE GO FORWARD, AND THE
FIRST 10 AMENDMENTS WERE THE BILL OF RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE
FIRST AMENDMENT AND ALL OF THOSE CHERISHED AMENDMENTS THAT ARE
THE CORE OF AMERICAN VALUES.
THAT IS HOW WE BUILD THE NATION
TOGETHER.
HELPED TERRY BACKER, HELP US, LET'S GO FORWARD AND
GET THAT AMENDMENT.
BE PART OF THAT WINNING TEAM, MAKE THE
CHANGE.
BE TO CHANGE THAT YOU KNOW WE CAN HAVE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
WOLF-PAC.COM.
DO IT TODAY.
