Activist Primer: The Nitty-Gritty on the Amendment Movement to Defeat Citizens United 


Wednesday 25 January 2012 

by: Mike Ludwig, Truthout | News Analysis 

Hundreds of protests across the country over the past weekend marked the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court's controversial ruling on Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission . The protests also marked the launch of a swelling grassroots movement to amend to challenge the ruling, which unleashed unlimited independent campaign spending and gave rise to the now-infamous super PACs. 

Resolutions opposing Citizens United have passed in city halls across the country. Lawmakers have introduced dozens [3] of resolutions, including at least ten in the 112th Congress. And if reform activists are successful in 2012, voters may be able support - in one way or another - a push for a constitutional amendment that would strike down Citizens United . 

The 2012 election will be the most expensive in history. About $35 million [4] has already been spent on the GOP presidential contest, and divisive attack ads paid for by super PACs are generating headlines daily. While many of the groups in a broad coalition challenging Citizens United have a progressive bent, organizers say voters across the spectrum are fed up with the deluge of big money in politics. 

A recent poll [6] shows that 62 percent of voters oppose the Citizens United decision and 46 percent strongly oppose it. More than half of those polled said they would support a constitutional amendment to reverse the ruling. 

"Most Americans ... don't think the government works for them anymore, and the system looks increasingly rigged by special interests that dump millions of dollars every day into elections and lobbying," said Bob Edgar, reform advocate and president of Common Cause. "People need a way to make to make their voices heard over all this noise . That's what Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party have in common, even if their values are very different." 

Edgar's Common Cause [7] is part of a broad coalition pushing for such an amendment and marching under the banner United for the People [8] . The campaigns involved are all working at a grassroots level, at least for the time being, but they are not necessarily united in strategy. 

Last week, Common Cause launched a campaign to put "voter instruction" ballot initiatives on 2012 ballots in all 50 states that would instruct lawmakers to push for an amendment. Another group, Move to Amend, is working to pass resolutions on the local level in order to build enough political momentum to force Congress to consider an amendment. Here's a closer look at these two campaigns moving forward. 

A Movement to Amend 

Move to Amend spearheaded the Occupy the Courts protests on January 20 and has arguably made the most progress on the ground. The group's grassroots strategy relies on local activists pushing city councils to adopt resolutions in support of the cause before moving on to the state and federal level. The group's local victories in progressive hotspots [9] have already made headlines. 

City councils in New York City, Los Angeles, Portland, Oregon, Boulder, Colorado, and more than a dozen other cities have already passed resolutions to abolish "corporate personhood" or to support an amendment to reverse Citizens United . 

Move to Amend has already prepared the amendment [10] the group hopes will be the 28th in the Constitution. The amendment does not specifically mention the Citizens United ruling but aims at overriding two main precedents. 

The first is "corporate personhood," a movement buzzword that refers to corporations obtaining the same rights as individuals. In Citizens United , the Supreme Court ruled that limiting expenditures on political discourse, such as independent campaign ads, violated the First Amendment. Critics argue that the ruling grants corporations the same free speech rights enjoyed by individuals, thus creating "corporate personhood." Move to Amend's amendment would limit the right guaranteed under the Constitution to "natural persons only" and would exclude "artificial entities." 

The second section of the amendment Move to Amend crafted gives the government the right to regulate political expenditures, requires campaign-finance disclosure and declares political spending to influence elections is not protected under the First Amendment. This would eliminate what is commonly called the "money equals speech" precedent, first established in 1976 under Buckley v. Valeo [11] . 

Move to Amend's Occupy the Courts day of action was inspired by the Occupy movement, and several Occupies, including Occupy Wall Street, participated in actions. The group's approach is sure to resonate with Occupiers and the growing anticorporate movement. Many of the local resolutions denouncing Citizens United , however, were passed in coastal cities and college towns known for their liberal populations. It remains to be seen if Move to Amend will gain momentum elsewhere. 

Citizens United on the Ballot 

If Common Cause succeeds in its Amend 2012 [12] campaign, every voter would have a say on Citizens United in 2012. Common Cause is attempting to put a "voter instruction" initiative on ballots in all 50 states that, if approved, would instruct Congress to adopt an amendment making it clear that corporations are not people and money is not speech. 

The instructions would be nonbinding, but Edgar said they carry "a great weight." Voter instructions were a tactic used by the term-limit movement and also by progressives who pushed for the 17th Amendment, ratified in 1913, which allowed voters to directly elect senators to Congress. Voter instructions passed in states like Oregon asked state legislators to send senators to Congress based on a popular vote from citizens. 

Thirty-eight states must approve a proposed constitutional amendment, so Common Cause claims it makes sense to start with state ballot initiatives. Common Cause is using petitions to place voter instructions on 2012 where possible. In other states, the group plans to petition state legislatures to create the initiative. 

Common Cause does not expect an ultimate victory in 2012, but Edgar said the group is committed to continue campaigning in years to come. This election year is key, however, because the nationwide campaign could inject the issue into the national debate and force candidates - especially President Obama and his opponent - to address the outside spending in their campaigns. The voter instructions - if Common Cause succeeds in placing them on enough ballots - will also serve as a comprehensive referendum on Citizens United , allowing Americans to finally tell Washington how they feel about big money in politics. 

"We're under no illusions here. This fight is going to take a long time to win," said [13] Robert Reich, Common Cause chair and former labor secretary under the Clinton administration. "But voters are fed up, they need a way to make their voices heard and we need to start right now." 

Unlike Move to Amend, Common Cause has not written a proposed amendment and plans to work on the language over time. 

Common Cause's strategy is comprehensive and has worked in the past, but the goal of placing voter instructions on ballots in all 50 states by November is certainly an ambitious one for a campaign that officially launched just last week. The clock is ticking. 

Movement Building 

Common Cause and Move to Amend are certainly not alone. More than 60 other organizations are supporting the effort to amend the Constitution to reverse Citizens United . Free Speech For People, for example, lists on its web site [14] several resolutions introduced by lawmakers in five states and others passed by towns in Massachusetts. 

Lawmakers are also taking up the fight. On Monday, People For the American Way held a conference [15] with Sen. Tom Udall (D-New Mexico), Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Florida) and Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota), who have all proposed resolutions to combat the Citizens United ruling. 

Amending the Constitution is also not the only strategy. Some groups [16] are pushing the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to write new rules mandating that corporations reveal their political spending to investors. Some say an amendment would not be necessary if Congress took the right action. ( See an alternative analysis here [17] ). The broader movement to overturn Citizens United , however, seems to agree that working to amend the Constitution - and doing some movement-building along the way - is the best path toward defeating Citizens United once and for all, even if activists don't always agree on how to get there. 

"I have complete confidence that this movement will not only capture the public's imagination and gain momentum, but will become one of the fundamental, if not the fundamental, movement over the next few years," said Reich.

Dear Mayor Stromberg, 

You are likely building up quite a file on this, however, I thought you might want to add this prior to Tuesday's City Council meeting. The New Mexico STATE legislature just adopted a resolution 
to overturn Citizen's United and, from the note from his legislative aide to my friend Eileen (Ashland resident), it would appear that senator Bates is onboard here in Oregon...

Dear Eileen - 

We?ve just won our biggest victory ever! Yesterday, the New Mexico House of Representatives passed our bill, 38-29, calling on Congress to amend the United States Constitution to overturn the infamous Citizens United ruling* and return our democracy to the people. 

In a bi-partisan vote, a Republican and an Independent joined Democrats in supporting this bill, working together to make the New Mexico House one of the first full state legislative bodies in the country to officially endorse a Constitutional Amendment to reverse Citizens United. 

The action goes next to the New Mexico State Senate, where a committee will consider an identical bill today, and, we hope the full Senate will soon follow. 

If you know anyone in New Mexico, please ask them to call their state Senators, urging them to join their House colleagues and support bill #SM3. New Mexicans can look up their state Senators here: http://j.mp/NM-sen . 

We also have terrific news from Massachusetts, where the state Senate President Therese Murray has just announced she?ll support a similar bill of ours, also calling for a U.S. Constitutional Amendment to overturn Citizens United. 

It?s just incredible to have so much momentum behind our campaign. 

This is a great moment to pick up the ball wherever you live and run with it. Can you call *your* state legislators now? 

You can look them up, and even make free phone calls, here< http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=GI4gxnNf4P8NcrOE3XNLLDedCPSTe5FD >: http://j.mp/STcalls12 < http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=bP%2BSakOzGo6uJJm%2FNA7dZDedCPSTe5FD > 

Urge your legislators to: 

?Please introduce or co-sponsor a state resolution calling on Congress to amend the U.S. Constitution, over-ruling Citizens United and restoring democracy to We, the People.? 

If they ask for a sample resolution, you can refer them to: http://j.mp/StRes < http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=AKNcuirdmRSwD7rFy%2FQIEjedCPSTe5FD >

Thanks so much for being part of our historic campaign.

Hello partners,

 

I'm writing with good news from RVTD. On April 2nd, we are expanding our
bus service hours later in the evening, and adding Saturday service! We
sought and received a federal grant late last year, and have funding for
three years of the proposed service. Most routes will run two hours later
in the evening (last bus leaving Medford at 8 or 8:30), and all routes
will run basic service on Saturdays (hourly for most routes). Fares will
remain the same. The details of the expanded service are still subject to
a public hearing and board approval. You can see the proposed service,
learn about the public hearing, and comment online at this link:
http://www.rvtd.org/news.php?a=detail
<http://www.rvtd.org/news.php?a=detail&id=132> &id=132

 

I also want to call your attention to Oregon's new carpool matching
database, Drive Less Connect. Find the tool at www.DriveLessConnect.com.
This free database helps connect people making similar trips so they can
share the ride. It also connects bike commute partners and lets users
track their savings online. Employers can create their own networks in the
system to promote carpooling among their employees, and can use the system
to run alternative commute promotions and incentive campaigns. RVTD
administers the system in SW Oregon, and I'm happy to field any questions
and help groups start using the tool.

 

Good weekend,

Nathan

Subject: Update on Sewer Backup on Rock Street

 

Yesterday morning we had a sewer overflow in the backyard of 561 Rock
Street.  About 200 gallons spilled out of the manhole, through the yard
and into the local storm drain.  All the sewage was cleaned up around the
property.  A diluted bleach solution was applied to all walking areas, and
lime was put on all affected soil to kill any pathogens.  We did dig up
the soil.  This particular sewer line is cleaned on an annual basis, and
we have records on these cleanings.  It appears that yesterday's backup
was caused by a wad of rags that was in the line.  Cleanup was done
according to protocol.  Today both Dave Gies and I have spoken with the
property management company.  Tenants are in tears, very upset, wondering
if they should move, and wondering if it is save to let their dogs out.
The management company is asking that we provide them with a written
statement that everything is safe.

 

I have involved CIS  and made many phone calls trying to get an
environmental assessment done.  After talking with about two dozen people
this morning, the bottom line is no one does this kind of thing.  CIS
believes we followed proper protocol as does Belfor Restoration (an
approved CIS company).  This particular sewer backup was not something we
are liable for.  We do need to be careful about what is said while on the
job site - if it's true that comments were made that tenants overheard.  I
am asking that our WW crew go back out today and spray more water to
better saturate the area.  I have not called the property management
company back yet, but that is my next phone call.  If people are still
upset, I will have them contact the head of CIS Claims.  I just wanted to
give all of you a heads up should you receive any phone calls regarding
this matter.  ~S

Mayor Stromberg announces Dave Kanner as New City Administrator

 

The position of the City Administer is appointed by the Mayor with
confirmation of the City Council.  Formal approval of the appointment will
occur at the City Council meeting on Tuesday, February 21.

 

"I am pleased to make this announcement.  We had six very strong
candidates for the position of City Administrator, all of whom were
qualified but Dave has something extra," said Mayor John Stromberg.  "His
collaborative management style, years of experience in public
administration, and technical expertise, will benefit our community for
years to come."  

Kanner has a wide range of experience with challenging and controversial
political issues in both city and county management.  Most recently,
Kanner served as the County Administrator in Deschutes County, Oregon with
overall responsibility for day to day leadership and management of an
organization with 816 full time employees and a $267 million annual
budget.  Kanner served as the Deputy County Administrator in Jackson
County, Assistant to the City Manager in Wilsonville Oregon and Senior
Public Affairs Specialist at METRO in Portland, Oregon. 

 

"I'm delighted and humbled to have been offered the position and I am
eager to get started.  I look forward to working with the City Council,
the excellent City staff, and the citizens of the community," said Kanner.
"I consider Ashland the premiere place to live in Oregon and view the City
Administrator position as one in which I can make outstanding use of my
talents and skills for the public good in a community where I feel I
belong.  My family and I are looking forward to becoming a part of the
Ashland community." 

 

Kanner will begin work on Monday, February 27, 2012.  Larry Patterson,
Interim City Administrator, has been managing the day to day operations of
the City since October.  Former City Administrator, Martha Bennett,
accepted the position of Chief Operating Officer at METRO in Portland.

Dear Mayor Stromberg 


Below I am forwarding you a note that Senator Bates sent responding to his position and support to end corporate personhood. My husband Andy Seles and I will be away during the next council meeting but I wondered if this attachment can be shared with Council expressing our concern. We urge the council members to take a position against Citizen's United and hope that our city of Ashland Oregon can move forward to raise awareness and bring attention to ending the corruption of corporate personhood. Ashland can proudly join the other American cities that have adopted the Move to Amend resolution. In addition, two states have already moved forward adopting this resolution - Hawaii and New Mexico and the Supreme Court of Montana upheld the state law banning corporate money in state and local elections. Our own Senators are working to pass a resolution against corporate personhood! 
How affirming and hopeful it would be if Ashland became a part of this movement to end Citizen's United and speak out as the real 'united citizens'. 
I know that I represent a majority of voices in the Rogue Valley and would welcome any support or concerns expressed by our city council members. 

Thank you, 
Barbara Goldfarb-Seles

Dear Barbara, 

Thank you for writing Senator Bates regarding the issue of Corporate Personhood. Senator Bates has serious concerns about corporations being given the right to inject unlimited amounts of secret dollars into our political system. The Senator supports legislation like Senator Markley?s Senate Joint Resolution 29. At the State level, Senator Bates is currently researching legislation for the 2013session. 

Corporations are not people. 

Thank you for writing us about this important issue. We have recorded and filed your comments for future reference. Please feel free to email with any future suggestions.

Towns, cities, and organizations across the country are demanding an end to corporate personhood and the system of election buying, among the other abuses it allows. Montana bans corporate election spending despite the 'Citizens United' ruling. We need the U.S. Constitution amended to state what its original framers considered too obvious to include: human rights are only for humans. Examples of useful bills to support in the U.S. Congress are S.J.Res.33, H.J.Res.90, H.J.Res.88, and H.J.Res.78. This is our top priority, and we expect you to introduce or cosponsor the necessary legislation. 

Sincerely, 

Barbara Goldfarb-Seles

Councillors - 

I've gotten one other request during this short session of the State Legislature, asking for local support, and I expect others often on short notice. 

Normally I send the requests to all of you and wait to hear if you have any objections to my sending a letter of support from the City but that process takes too long during this session because I only am notified at the last minute. 

What I'd like to do - for cases in which I think it's in the City's interests - is to get the letter underway, forward the request to all of you , marked 'urgent', and give you a deadline by which to contact me if you object. This deadline would allow sending the letter in time. In effect we'd be using an 'opt out' approach instead of a, slower, 'opt in'. 

Please let me know if this is OK with each of you, just for this one month session.

Good Afternoon, 



The League needs you to contact your legislators, ask them to support HB 4025, and request that the bill receive a hearing and work session. This bill isn?t a perfect solution and doesn?t do everything that we would like but if dies now there will be little chance to fix HB 2712 that passed in the 2011 Legislative Session. This bill is currently sitting in Ways and Means and needs to be scheduled for a hearing. 



Detailed information about the bill and contact information are attached. You can also go the League?s Web page at www.orcities.org and click the yellow legislative button. Here you can access the alert or choose ?Contact my Legislators? for phone and e-mail information. You can also send an email to your legislator directly from that page. 



For more information please contact Scott Winkels, Intergovernmental Relations Associate: swinkels at orcities.org . 



Thank you in advance for your work on this critical bill for cities. 



Sincerely, 



Angela

Dear Mayor Stomberg, 




In May 2011, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling declaring that forest roads are "point sources" that require a special discharge permit under the Clean Water Act (CWA). This decision upends over 35 years of common sense-based regulation of forestry and forest roads as "non-point sources" under the CWA. 



States, including Oregon, have been successfully regulating and overseeing forestry activities, with funding and guidance from EPA, for over 35 years. The Oregon Department of Forestry under the State of Oregon serves to protect, manage and promote stewardship of Oregon's forests to enhance environmental, economic and community sustainability. Oregon Department of Forestry has resources specifically for private forests, forest health and rules and laws governing forest activities in the state. The Ninth Circuit decision would place costly requirements on Oregon forest owners because each source point under the CWA, which could include hundreds of culverts and ditches on thousands of forestland acres, is subject to citizen legislation and permit challenge. 



For Oregon forests, reasonable assurance of an economic return is necessary to conserve private forests. Unnecessary and over burdensome permit requirements may cause forests to become unaffordable to manage and uncompetitive economically putting forest owners and operators out of business. Jobs will be lost, economic development will suffer and state and local tax revenue will decrease. 



This past December, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order asking the Solicitor General for views of the federal government on the petitions challenging the Ninth Circuit Court's ruling. There is no guarantee that the Supreme Court will decide to review the case but it is critical for the Administration, through the Solicitor General, to urge the court to do so. 



Please join us in urging the Administration to defend the EPA's longstanding treatment of forestry as a non point source under the Clean Water Act and ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Ninth Circuit Court's decision in comments filed with the Court by the Solicitor General. 



We expect the Solicitor General to file comments with the Court early this spring. If you are willing to write a letter to the Administration and Solicitor General, please contact Greg Peden, gregp at gallatinpa.com ; Kelsey Wilson, kelseyw at gallatinpa.com ; or me at npepp22 at gmail.com to request a draft letter for your review and signature. If we don't hear from you, we will follow-up in the next couple weeks. 



Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to working with you to generate support for the Supreme Court's review of this case. 



Sincerely, 

Nick Peppler

Thank you all that responded.  I'm not asking who you would vote for 
though...that would happen at a council meeting.

I am going to place this vacancy on the city website and ask for anyone 
interested to submit by March 1st.  Maybe I can get some applications for 
your to review at the first meeting in March. Barbara

Council, see the email below from Martha to Rep. Buckley re HB 4025???..



Dear Peter ?



Even though I don?t work at the City of Ashland any more, my colleagues have 
asked me to drop you a note about HB 4025 because I have worked with their 
municipal court budgets for the last six years.  As I am sure you have 
heard, this bill is important for any of the local governments in Oregon who 
issue criminal citations, especially the ones who run their own municipal 
courts.  In Ashland, as you will remember,  the City ran its own court both 
because it had some unique local laws and because it wanted to provide 
access to justice in town ? rather than making residents take the time and 
pay the costs of a drive to Medford to the Jackson County Courts. Also, as I 
am sure Pam Turner has told you, having the municipal court judge set the 
fines means that she can take into account whether the fine is affordable 
for the defendant.  In Ashland, the court roughly breaks even each year ? 
bringing in about the same amount in fines as it costs to keep the courts 
open.



I was in Ashland when HB 2712 passed, and we were under the impression that 
the bill was revenue neutral for our municipal court.  Since that time, we 
have learned that the bill actually increased the state surcharge.  This 
means that either a local municipal court judge has to increase the fines 
she levies against a defendant or it means the City has to put more general 
fund resources into the court.  And as I am sure you know, Municipal Court 
competes for general fund dollars with police, fire, planning, and parks 
services, and all of these departments have been repeatedly cut back since 
2006.  Ashland would have asked for your vote against HB 2712 if we?d 
understood the fiscal impact, which is why the cities are asking for your 
support of HB 4025.



In the interest of full disclosure, I should also tell you that HB 4025 
could also help Metro, although the benefit to Metro would be about $6,000 
per year, which is why we are unlikely to weigh in officially.  It?s my 
understanding that Tri-Met, our partner in high capacity transit services in 
the Portland region, would benefit because they lost revenue from the fines 
on people who violate laws when they ride Tri-Met.  Again, though, the Metro 
Council hasn?t taken a position on the bill, so this email is not on their 
behalf.



I know that you have a very difficult job this session, and I admire the 
work you are doing.  Thanks for letting me bend your ear on this bill.

Subject: [Council_business] Fwd: The League needs you to contact your

Councillors -

I've gotten one other request during this short session of the State 
Legislature, asking for local support,  and I expect others often on short 
notice.

Normally I send the requests to all of you and wait to hear if you have any 
objections to my sending a letter of support from the City but that process 
takes too long during this session because I only am notified at the last 
minute.

What I'd like to do - for cases in which I think it's in the City's 
interests - is to get the letter underway, forward the request to all of you 
, marked 'urgent', and give you a deadline by which to contact me if you 
object.  This deadline would allow sending the letter in time.  In effect 
we'd be using an 'opt out' approach instead of a, slower, 'opt in'.

Please let me know if this is OK with each of you, just for this one month 
session.

Good Afternoon,



The League needs you to contact your legislators, ask them to support HB 
4025, and request that the bill receive a hearing and work session. This 
bill isn?t a perfect solution and doesn?t do everything that we would like 
but if dies now there will be little chance to fix HB 2712 that passed in 
the 2011 Legislative Session. This bill is currently sitting in Ways and 
Means and needs to be scheduled for a hearing.



Detailed information about the bill and contact information are attached. 
You can also go the League?s Web page at www.orcities.org and click the 
yellow legislative button. Here you can access the alert or choose ?Contact 
my Legislators? for phone and e-mail information. You can also send an email 
to your legislator directly from that page.



For more information please contact Scott Winkels, Intergovernmental 
Relations Associate: swinkels at orcities.org.



Thank you in advance for your work on this critical bill for cities.



Sincerely,



Angela

Hi, Councilors 

I can't remember whether or not all of you have been receiving these emails but, just in case, wanted you to be aware of this emerging issue. I've sent the key emails to Kate Jackson, whom you probably remember is now our regional DEQ rep, to find out if they get involved in such issues. 

The key info, which is contained below, goes as follows: 

"I spoke with a land owner yesterday who shared with me that GM Round-up Ready sugar beets are being grown by SYNGENTA corporation in Ashland, on small plots of land, and out across the Valley. As an organic vegetable producer and seed grower who feeds our children and community, I am deeply concerned. 

The pollen from beets is carried far distances by the winds for up to 6miles. This is roughly twice the length of Ashland. This puts our dear chard and beet crops, and our organic farmers' lively-hoods, in harms way to the introduction of bio-tech industry's rogue pollens. +90% of all sugar beets in America are genetically modified."

Hello Concerned Citizens and Officials of the Rogue Valley, 

This is an update from an earlier post 2 days ago (full story at bottom of this post) regarding GMO sugar beets and their impact on the Rogue Valley. 

Some inroads were made yesterday with SYNGENTA corporation's S. Oregon manager, agreeing to pull the plug on 2 gmo sugar beet fields on the South Side of Ashland. This still leaves the Valley View Rd. region and north-west ward to Grants Pass, including portions of the Applegate Valley, extremely vulnerable. 

All farmer and gardener alike, should be notified that N, E & W Valley View Rds and Hwy 99 in Talent are apparently the 2 south-most points of concern, in the Valley. It is advised NOT to keep seed from beets or chard crops that are grown in North Ashland and outward into the Rogue Valley. 

Plantings commenced this week, so be on the lookout, to pinpoint their location, and pass this along to neighbors.

I have attended/organized a number of seed exchanges in the Valley, where many varieties of chard and beet seeds were exchanged, by both gardeners and farmers, parents, teachers and children alike. Folks, this is our food. Who gives someone else the right to tamper with our food without our consent?? 

The most disconcerting thing about this, is that we anticipate saving seed this spring at the Ashland High School garden from chard plants that were hardy enough to over-winter in our garden, as a part of our much needed connection with youth and their food. The gmo beet crop is located less than 1 mile distance. 

We must come together now, to and say "yes to what is possible. YES to clean (nitrate/pesticide free water), YES to increased organic matter in our soils (more carbon, water & nutrient retention in our soils), YES to our food svereignty, YES to our freedom of choice. YES to our voice as a community. This is all we truly have control over. 

The window of opportunity is here, with Joel Salatin visit scheduled for 15-16 March in the Rogue Valley. Who is interested to organize, like our friends just south of the board, in Siskiyou County (see below)?

FREE Original Composition Recital 

Honoring David Michael Grubbs 



Guitar performance and music composition major at SOU dedicates original works to the Grubbs family and the community of Ashland, Oregon 



Southern Oregon University (SOU) guitarist and composer, Tye Austin Hoseclaw, will present original works at SOU Recital Hall on Mountain Ave. on Friday, March 9th at 12:30 p.m. His recital program is dedicated to David Michael Grubbs, the 23-year-old Ashland man who was brutally murdered on November 19, 2011 along the Ashland bikeway. The program includes a new composition honoring Grubbs written for vocal parts, soprano, alto, and bass, and accompanied by classical guitar and double bass (stand-up). Grubbs played the double bass in the Oregon Youth Symphony. 



?While doing my own research on the Grubb?s case, I learned that David was an avid musician and actually lived for music. Considering how much music means to me in my life, I would be truly honored if one of my contemporaries composed a piece of music in commemoration of my life. Perhaps this was my muse,? said Austin. 



At 22 years of age, Austin has studied guitar performance and music composition for three years and will complete his dual emphasis in the spring of 2013. 



?It brings me great satisfaction to compose the music and venue for the community to congregate in paying this musical tribute to a son of our beloved community in Ashland Oregon. David?s presence and kindness enriched us for far too short a time,? said Austin. 



The 45-minute recital starts at 12:30 p.m. on March 9th and is open to all ages and free to the public.
