Supremes giving Corporations 'right' of free speech abridges individual's right of free speech

This decision was an assault on each Amercan's right of free speech.


This decision represents and abridgement of the individual's right to freedom of speech because of how the communications media work (and the fact that their are only 24 hours in a day) means corporations can squeeze out those who can't compete - money wise. Thus those who can't afford to pay the rates (for time on air or without enough money to make "documentaries" attacking certain policies or candidates who support them) will be forced out of the debate. If a corporation (or a group of corporations, for example, the oil industry) can spend a thousand or hundred thousand times as much as you can for campaign advertising the free expression of your opinion will be diminished and effectively drowned out. IF you can't be heard, your right of free speech has been effectively abridged.

If the individual's right to free speech cannot be abridged by any action of the Government that applies to the Supreme Court's actions too. Their decision had no basis in the law or common sense. Corporations were created as legal entities by humans so groups of people, the owners, could more effectively conduct business and raise capital in a more efficient manner than with a partnership - by selling stock. Corporations are granted certain abilities of humans, such as the ability to enter into contracts. This obviously, does not mean corporations are in fact, or in the law, people - enjoying any of the rights that people are recognized as having been granted "by their Creator". Corporations are not mentioned in the Constitution. Corporations are not citizens of the United States.

The owners of corporations, as citizens of this country, enjoy the right of free speech which shall not be abridged. That does not mean these people who control a corporation can use the corporation as a megaphone to amplify their message and to effectively drown out the voices of others. A person's freedom of expression is abridged if the expression of his opinion will effectively not be heard because it is overwhelmed by messages funded by the massive wealth of corporations.

Corporate money will drown out other's voices. If only The Creator can make human beings then the Supreme Court cannnot make people out of corporations.


The contract is out on Democracy in America.
