CLEARLAKE – Second Sunday Cinema will feature “The Corporation” as its free film for February.

The movie will be shown Feb. 14 at Clearlake United Methodist Church at 14521 Pearl Ave. near Mullen in Clearlake.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for snacks and socializing; the film starts at 6 p.m.

The group previously had scheduled “Anthrax War” for the Feb. 14 showing.

However, that was changed in light of a US Supreme Court decision that was delivered Jan. 21.

In that 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations can give candidates just as much money as they want in the name of First Amendment rights of free speech.

This means that major corporations can now give millions of dollars compared to the small political donations the average citizens can afford.

In other words. corporations can afford a lot more "free speech" than can you or I.

Due to this alarming development, SSC is showing "The Corporation," a widely-respected documentary examining corporations in the US: what they are and how they have come to be so prominent in this country, for good and ill.

"Anthrax War" will be shown very soon.
