Pay attention. The problem isn't just the most recent SCOTUS ruling reaffirming corporations as individuals protected under the constitution. The problem is that we've been duped into believing that the framers actually believed that companies had the rights and privileges due to human beings.

Wrong.

They believed that humans were inherently endowed with rights. Corporations are the creations of humans, and can be granted rights and privileges by law, and should be. But they don't inherently have the same rights or deserve the same protections that humans do. Period.

Sign up, let your elected officials know. This isn't a Democrat or Republican thing. This isn't a progressive, liberal, reactionary or conservative thing. This is a Democracy thing. And regardless of your views on the way the government is going, you're opinion is going to matter less and less unless we all, as citizens, do something about it.
