We the People Occupy the Rose Parade 2012

Both the giant We the People and the We the Corporations images were painted by scenic artist Steffon Moody for the Backbone Campaign. The We the People preamble debuted March 4th 2007 in Seattle. It then toured the country as part of the Procession for the Future. We have gradually added extensions so more people could sign it.  The 2012 Rose Parade is the first time that almost all those extensions have been joined together.

The We the Corporations banner debuted in Washington, DC in Jan 2011 as part of Backbone Campaign's satirical Emancipation Celebration for the Corporation "celebrating" the first anniversary of the US Supreme Court's Citizens United vs. the F.E.C decision that enshrined the absurd legal doctrine of corporate personhood.


We the Corporations
Transcending the Boundaries of Nations,
in Order to Protect us from the People,
Insure our Right to Extract and Exploit,
Provide the Defence of Profit with Impunity,
and Secure the Blessings of Wealth and
Privileged for those Who Have it Already,
Do ordain and appropriate this Constitution
of the United States of America
