Constitutional Amendment Introduced to Overturn Corporate Personhood
by Zaid Jilani.
“In one of the greatest signs yet that the 99 Percenters are having an impact, Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, today introduced an amendment that would ban corporate money in politics and end corporate personhood once and for all.
“Deutch’s amendment, called the Outlawing Corporate Cash Undermining the Public Interest in our Elections and Democracy (OCCUPIED) Amendment, would overturn the Citizens United decision, re-establishing the right of Congress and the states to regulate campaign finance laws, and to effectively outlaw the ability of for-profit corporations to contribute to campaign spending.”

Supreme Court Overturns Ban on Direct Corporate Spending on Elections
In a 5-4 decision that strikes down a 1907 law, the justices say the 1st Amendment gives corporations, just like individuals, a right to spend their own money on political ads for federal candidates.
Well as long as we have corporate personhood in this country, I suppose this makes sense. However, it was this precise variety of bullshit that led me to vote for David Cobb in 2004.
Guess who else hates it? Ralph Nader, who calls for a constitutional amendment striking down corporate personhood once and for all.

Tom tumbled bumblingly through the bull's tumultuous tum -- bulging bulbously I'll bet it be'd, branded "Big Bob's Bad Bulls" positively -- proceeding, Tom pulverized the pulsing pouch-pumps and played prettily in the dank dung which dangled delightfuly til daybreak, which it turns out, stank. Yanked awake by the bake of the sky's yellow cake, Tom turned tornadoous, whirling swirly down the side of the city, squashing silly sight-seers sideways til the bamboozled boobs fed their ooze to the buzzards bewilderingly.
This is a found things blog. I made none of it. There is no theme except for whatever I am interested in at any given time. I lose followers when I post something that I really like and I gain them when I post nothing. Yet I go on.
