Even a child knows that. Why can't the 5 wackos on the court understand! ********** [200913:092114] M.M., Snohomish, WA I do not live in a democracy. What the hell is going on? ********** [084343:072714] G.N., Playa Del Rey, CA Supporting bills to negate Citizens United is one of the most important actions our legislators can take to protect the future of our democracy for generations to come. This, combined with limiting campaign contributions serves to level the playing field and return the government of, for and by the people TO the people! Time to step up Ms. Waters, Ms. Boxer and Ms. Feinstein!! Yours Truly, Gretchen Nordham, M.A. Playa del Rey, CA. ********** [154657:071514] R.P., Downingtown, PA There are 5 SCJ's that are misogynistic,corporate whores.There are many Repuglicans and some Dems who also are misogynistic corporate whores.Let's send them PACKING AS IN GONE FROM CONGRESS IN 11/14.ALL OF US NEED TO GET OUT AND VOTE SO WE CAN RECLAIM OUR "WE THE PEOPLE" AND OUR VOICES. ********** [220642:061414] E.C., Saint Paul, MN My country has too many huge corporations the stifle innovation, creativity, newer, livelier competition. In our innumerable communities across the nation, Capitalization, was to enrich each user before it finally arrived at th bank in someone's account. But corporations have been allowed to get so rich and powerful in the four or five decades, that they and their money are everywhere. Real entrepreneurship is is reserved for, and can only be afforded by the very rich, a thin slice of our population. They usurp every possible opportunity, in even our smallest cities and towns. This leaves only opportunities "most likely to fail" for new businesses. And, if somehow should make progress, anyhow, the rich Corporations swoop down and make them "offers they cannot afford to refuse", else the Corporation money will unethically, drive them out of business. We need to change this, so that creativity, innovation, and "Can Do" energy can grow strong again to solve the problems of our Country, and indeed, our world. And, we must begin right now, because, simply: OUR CURRENT BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT CANNOT DO IT. THEY'RE TOO FOCUSED ON THE PET PEEVES, PERSONAL PROJECTS, AND THE ALL IN-COMPASSING DRIVE TO ACCUMULATE MORE AND MORE MONEY, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES! ********** [215538:061414] E.C., Saint Paul, MN My country has too many huge corporations the stifle innovation, creativity, newer, livelier competition.

Corporations are not individuals and should never be given rights as if they were. ********** [081827:050614] R.H., Mason, MI Governing authority is derived from the consent of WE THE PEOPLE, not corporate cash, and the sooner we citizens reclaim our democracy the better off we'll be! ********** [184953:050514] M.P., Saint Louis, MO I want my democracy back! ********** [183548:050514] B.P., Camden, ME The legal fictions, that Corporations are Persons, and that Money is Speech, are destroying our ability to govern ourselves and turning us into a new country, the UCA, the United Corporations of America. ********** [152125:050514] C.S., Clarkston, MI Citizens United is OUTRAGEOUS and must GO!!! ********** [163309:050414] J.S., Santa Ana, CA Corporations should not be considered for the same rights as individual human beings. Never was it intended nor should it have become that any entity be treated as an individual person. They are not and never will be. Though they are run by individuals the entity itself is not a human it is a business. Add this law to the Constitution NOW! ********** [152035:050414] J.J., Columbia, IL There is no bigger lie than saying, "Citizens United is an organization dedicated to restoring our government to citizens' control." They are a group of ultra conservatives whose goals are so contrary to the best interest of the US people and aim to give authority to multinational companies. Read any of their literature and you will see the truth. ********** [145310:050214] j.g., Franklin, MI Citizens United is un-American. ********** [142619:042914] J.M., Sylva, NC Citizens United must be reversed! ********** [195645:042814] R.W., Boise, ID A wise man said:"Money is feces". That means to the court, S--T RULES! I think not a--holes! ********** [145813:042714] H.P., West Grove, PA You cannot deny that the Supreme Court killed our democracy on 1/21/2010. You should remember that the definition of democracy (Look it up.) was established long before the current Supreme Court distorted it. Can you guarantee that my vote is equal to corporate and other monied interests without a constitutional amendment abolishing Citizens United decision? ********** [210053:042614] T.K., Vallejo, CA Half those S. court judges are just crooks wearing robes ********** [205723:042614] T.K., Vallejo, CA Half those S. court judges are just crooks wearing robes ********** [161833:042514] M.G., Denver, CO Citizen's United has a strong negative impact on the well being of future generations in this country. ********** [075818:042514] T.P., Evanston, IL We no longer can pretend we live in a democracy. An extreme supreme court has erased any voice of "the people". Representatives must act if we hope to reclaim any semblance of the nation we had in the '70's and early '80's. ********** [133859:042314] B.E., Saint Paul, MN How can we possibly confuse a multibillion dollar corporation with an individual citizen (or a smaller corporation with his child?) or an unlimited amount of money to influence political campaigns with a citizen's single vote? Please help us rectify this glaring error in perception and support these proposed constitutional amendments. Thank you! ********** [121224:042314] k.s., Aripeka, FL We, The People, demand that all members of Congress immediately sign on as sponsors of S.J.Res.18 (in the Senate) and H.J.Res.21 (in the House), to initiate a constitutional amendment clarifying that corporations do NOT have the same rights as natural persons. ********** Go Back
