Vermont Legislature to Consider Bill Saying Corporations are not People
(It should be that "people" ARE NOT Corporations, ie; 14th "Citizens') and YES, I copy/pasted the below: Subject: (Pre-Press ALERT!) Vermont Legislature to Consider Bill Saying Corporations are not People Valley Advocate Vermont: Corporations Aren't People Vermont lawmakers push back on High Court's Citizens United ruling Thursday, February 10, 2011 By Tom Sturm The wording of a new resolution brought to the Vermont State Legislature by state senator Virginia Lyons is stark and unambiguous: "The profits and institutional survival of large corporations are often in direct conflict with the essential needs and rights of human beings." Corporations, the resolution continues, "have used their so-called rights to successfully seek the judicial reversal of democratically enacted laws," leaving democratically elected governments "ineffective in protecting their citizens against corporate harm to the environment, health, workers, independent business, and local and regional economies." Lyons introduced the bill on the recent first anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's controversial Citizens United decision, which, through Byzantine interpretations of precedents that gave corporations "personhood" via the 14th Amendment, allowed them the same First Amendment rights as citizens are granted under the Constitution. President Obama somewhat boldly addressed members of the court at last year's State of the Union Address, saying the decision would "open the floodgates for special interests-including foreign corporations-to spend without limit in our elections."

Jerry, please give references. Plus, I had to clean-up what you posted as I had to cite the reference.
And, WIZARD.... Do not post articles without a reference, or the whole articles (due to copyright infringements). |
