Congratulations to our allies in California, Occupy the Rose Parade who pulled off a great presentation at the end of the 2012 Rose Parade. Pete Thottam and David Cutter worked especially hard to make sure Backbone imagery was there and looking good. We are grateful for their collaboration and enjoy seeing all the photos, video and press hits.

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.
