Stop Prop 143 From Banishing Performers

The Issue

Don't let Indianapolis Mayor Ballard and the City-County Council ban music from our streets!

 

On December 9th the City-County Council will vote on passage of Prop 143.  This ordinance was misrepresented to the public and the language is problematic as it labels musicians, street performers and charities as 'panhandlers'.  Spearheading opposition to Prop 143 is The Indianapolis Acoustic Music Meetup (producers of Playing for Change Day Indianapolis and sole music producers for Art Squared).  We ask everyone who loves music and performance art to join us in petitioning Mayor Ballard and the City-County Council to send Prop 143 back to committee and to eliminate all language which would restrict street performance.

Indianapolis Acoustic Music MeetupPetition StarterI'm interested in most Progressive/Liberal issues. I'm particularly concerned about campaign finance reform and the horrendous decision that the Supreme Court made in January of 2010. The Citizens United vs. FEC ruling opened the floodgates for unlimited corporate and 'secret' campaign funding. This is very bad for liberals and our causes because corporations give far more to conservatives because they tend to favor the free market and little regulations. I support the repeal of DADT, The Dream Act, Nearly all environmental causes, animal protection, Civil and Human Rights issues, Labor Rights and a host of other liberal and progressive issue.
