Since 1886, courts have handed out more human rights to corporations. Armed with human rights and legal privileges, large corporations have amassed fantastic wealth and power, which has undermined our sovereign self-governance and created a democracy crisis.
We need to get the resolution “Move to Amend” passed in every city, county and state. Corporations are not people and should not have a voice in our government via their money.
Hundreds — perhaps thousands — of local, state and federal laws that attempt to protect our elections, safety and health, environment and the right to organize have been overturned as a result of this erroneous doctrine. It is time to change the rules.
The U.S. Supreme Court is misguided in principle and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule. Please sign the petition at MoveToAmend.org.
