Citizens United case focus of ACS program, April 13

The Michigan Chapter of the American Constitution Society presents "Corporate Political Speech: Where Do We Go From Here?" on Tuesday, April 13, at 6 p.m. at the Birmingham Conference Center.
The United States Supreme Court's recent decision in the Citizens United case has radically altered the landscape for corporate political speech. Some view the decision as an essential recognition of the First Amendment rights of corporations, unions, and other organizations. Others view the decision as having a terribly corrosive effect on the political process.
Attendees will hear from two of the leading "thought leaders" on these issues: Mark Brewer, chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party, and Robert LaBrant, senior vice-president and Legal Counsel of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. Brewer and LaBrant will discuss and critique the Citizens United decision, discuss some of the proposed legislative responses to the decision (both at the state and federal levels), and offer their insights into how this decision will impact future elections.
This program will be offered on Tuesday, April 13, at 6 p.m. at the Birmingham Conference Center, attached to Birmingham Groves High School (at the intersection of Thirteen Mile and Evergreen Roads--entrance off Evergreen). There is no cost to attend.
