... Corporations now have a much louder voice than the rest of us, especially in politics. With that free speech corporations can now spend unlimited amounts of money on deceptive TV commercials to sway voters and even more money lobbying, or what used to be called bribing, our elected lawmakers....
The consequences of this corporate takeover are clear. Thanks to lobbying cash used to defeat regulations - we suffered from the BP oil spill last year. And we were swamped by the Wall Street financial crisis in 2008. And we drown in an endless stream of health insurance abuses year in and year out that have kicked more than 53 million Americans out of the US healthcare system. Corporations - with their Supreme Court-given powers of personhood - are devouring our nation - and making mountains of money in the process. And as our Declaration of Independence instructs - when an institution's behavior, "becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it...as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness." It's time to listen to Jefferson and abolish the institution of corporate personhood. Tell your legislators - move to amend the Constitution now!
