A corporation runs for Congress! (you knew it had to happen)
Murray Hill Corporation is taking corporate personhood to the next level, thanks to the "enlightened" Supreme Court:

2. No, I think Google probably has better things to do...
...than pretend to run for congress.

4. Mergers are a type of marriage,
gay marriage. Not between a man and a woman.

5. Expose 'Em And Shame Any Candidate...
...that is a corporate puppet. Make it expensive for both the corporates and the candidates. Tatoo the company's logo all over the candidate.

There are many on the right who hate this ruling...fearful of unions, Soros or MoveOn buying elections, thus actual common ground here. Let them spend all they want...make it real expensive for them. The message we all need to keep saying is they can try to buy votes, but our votes are not for sale...not for a corporation or any special interest.

6. I thought Murray Hill was specifically set up to show the idiocy
of the Supreme Court decision. It would make the court strike down corporate personhood, or have to allow one to run for Congress.
