An Easy, 4-Step Method to End Corporate Personhood

By Carl Gibson, Reader Supported News

If you knew you could end the concept of corporate personhood at the local level, and that everyone all over the country was doing it too, wouldn't you try it? All you need is $50 to $100 depending on what state you're in, a vehicle, and a carpool lane. A briefcase is helpful, but optional.

We all know corporations aren't people. The mere suggestion that an entity with an unlimited lifespan - that doesn't eat, sleep, make love, or even have a measurable pulse - is a legitimate "person" is laughable. So here's an easy way to prove that laughable concept to local law enforcement, and more importantly, your local judge.

It would be worth a try in my mind. Why not? Its thinking outside the box. And thats a good thing.

1. Easy interim step. ONLY registered voters in their district can give to a candidate

Since corps can't give, all they can do is issue advertising but this shuts down all the lobbyists!

2. Cute idea.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]But does anyone think there are actually people with the time and money willing to set up and force this case in each state?

The person who suggested in the comments that joining movetoamend.org is a better way to go has a very valid point. Maine has become the 13th state to overturn Citizens United at the State Supreme Court level. Let's keep that momentum going and growing.

Meanwhile, if any hardy and rebellious souls want to go the individual traffic court route, a win or three would add positive publicity and be icing on the cake.

3. I believe I read a DU post months ago about a young man in Ca. who already did just that.
