4. Thank you for that link!
I saw this sign prited on a bill board in Times Square NYC. So appropriate.

There was a time when the our flag inspired me, made my heart swell and broght tears to my eyes. I can hardly bear to look at it now without sadness and disgust.

Many a neighbor flys the flag now I will, too. A flag that truely represents our country today.

5. That says it all about what America is becoming.
Someone needs to turn it into an icon.

7. I bought it!!
Huge Bi-Partisan impact statement imo.

Please K&R let's get this puppy on the greatest page.

Due to health issues I can't do more physically now. I donate what I can but, just being able to fly this flag makes me feel so damn good.

When I saw it in NY it made a big impession on me that I was speechles. All I could manage was to point to it while punching my husband in the arm ;)

13. T Shirts!!
Edited on Sun Jan-24-10 11:10 AM by madmax
I would order several and wear it everywhere and everyday.

I'm a little shy about wearing confrontational T's... Hey, I'm an outta shape old hippie. I don't want my ass kicked ;) But, making this design into a T shirt is just so spot on!

16. Playboy should be taken off
I believe they signed a petition of some 40+ corps that were against this ruling.

21. How about this: "We the Corporations of the United States, in Order to form...
How about this:

"We the Corporations of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect marketplace, establish Profits, insure workforce instability, provide for the common defense of corporate handouts, promote the general Welfare of the Wealthy, and secure the Blessings of Greed to ourselves and our subsidiaries, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of Corporations."

23. Already exists.
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the corporate states of America.
And to the conglomeration,
for which it stands,
one nation, under many CEOs,
always divisible,
with liberty and privileges for some.

19. Yes....and how many corporations have FOREIGN investors....??
I find it fascinating to follow the *'s from financing the nazis in WW2 to nominating the majority of the SC judges that voted us into Fascism...the twists and turns to get our Republic to this point seems, after all, to be a pretty direct path when you get right down to it...I think I read somewhere that Hitler supposedly said something to the effect that...just when you think we Nazis have been successfully eliminated, you will find us all around you...guess he was right...and we Americans should be taking to the streets by the millions, NO MATTER WHAT PARTY WE BELONG TO and demand that our Congress outlaw this decision or take whatever action is needed to counteract it...They (SC) have sold us down the river for the second time in 10 years(come to think of it...giving control of our banking system to foreign interests wasn't exactly a smart thing to do, back when Woodrow Wilson was president, in 1913 either)seems we've been on this path for a long time, and we have finally arrived, unless we do something about it.......wb
