IF CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE – LET’S GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO VOTE

But they will only have ONE vote the same as the rest of us

Furthermore, they will have the same limitations when contributing to political campaigns…no unlimited funds, no anonymity. After we pass a Constitutional Amendment that limits the power of corporations then we should be fair and also give them citizenship status; that is if they are not foreign corporations operating in the US, profiting but having their headquarters in the Cayman Islands or Dubai.

You have heard the adage: “I will believe that corporations are people when one is put to death in the electric chair” and it could not be more appropriate. I am sure that you agree that the FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM is the most efficient and preferable of all economic systems; but it must have regulations or GREED will take over and overwhelm everything. Once and for all, we should accept the fact that greed has no conscience and corporations driven by greed, devoid of a brain to think or compassion like human beings will become so powerful and odious as to obliterate the concept of democracy.

AMEND. Two major coalitions are organizing to overturn the court's corporate money edict by amending the Constitution. One is FreeSpeechForPeople.org and the other is MoveToAmend.org – and both have action kits for raising the issue locally, petitions to be circulated, video and other good graphics to educate people in your community, and a wealth of other organizing ideas.

LOCALIZE. Pass your own local and state laws to stop the wholesale corporate purchase of our government. These include outlawing any corporate claim of personhood in your area, providing the alternative of public financing for your local and state elections, and banning campaign donations by corporations that try to get government contracts and subsidies. For information and help, check our PublicCampaign.org and ReclaimDemocracy.org.

CONFRONT. Yes, get in the face of power. Ask all candidates where they stand on corporate personhood and demand that top executives of big corporations located in your area publicly agree not to spend corporate cash on your elections.

Remember, the Constitution plainly says "We the People," not We the Corporations.

You don't have to tell me that passing a Constitutional amendment is NOT an easy task and there will be billions of dollars poured in to oppose such amendment coming from corporations as they do with political campaigns. But this is something that we as Americans must do in order to preserve this noble experiment we call DEMOCRACY.
