Part of nationwide rallies against corporate domination of politics and fair elections, created by two movements. The Other 98% is a grassroots network of concerned citizens, partnered with MoveOn.org, standing against corporate influence in government "... to make our democracy work for the rest of us."

From the organizers: "We will not see change in this country that benefits us all until we end corporate influence in our political system. Cost to attend the rally & sign the pledge $0, benefit if we help change the system to work for everyone, priceless!"

Participants are asked to sign-up to attend at http://pol.moveon.org/event/pledgerally/105732
Also on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=142098465817642

The groups are also asking citizens to take a pledge, which can be reviewed and endorsed at http://www.standfordemocracy.org/ The agenda is to overturn the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling (allowing unlimited corporate spending on elections), push for passage of the Fair Elections Act, and a lobbyist reform act.
