Tired of seeing corporation playing games with our lives - let's treat them as PEOPLE
as the Supreme Court of Jokers (minus Breyer, Sotomeyer, Ginsburg and Stevens) declared this.

Here's an example:

Indict Massey Energy for 25 counts of second degree murder (Depraved indifference). That means Don Blankenship himself and his board of directors has to face the indictment and his corporation, if found guilty, will go into receivership - and before even that happens, all Massey assets are frozen by the Feds to prevent looting the cash before the indictments are handed down. Once guilty, Blankenship will spend the rest of his pathetic life in prison, and all assets are transferred to a fund to help the families of the dead miners for the rest of their lives. If the mine is to continue, it will be then reformed to a union-owned company with the help of AFL-CIO, making sure that the miners will be taken care of.

Another example:

Indict U.S. Chamber of Commerce for tax evasion and fraud. That means the people involved with the Commerce will be facing prison time and a heavy fine of billions. Revoke the charter of the Commerce and make it a non-partisan version of the Commerce as it was intended - to assist small business and teach people how to start one. (I had an opportunity to learn business plan writing at the local Chamber of Commerce, and the people who taught the class were outstanding).

It is time to show the Supreme Court what they unintentionally started, and they'll be remembered as the joke of the Supreme Court and the Republicans will have no problem fixing the corporate personhood issues to save their asses. Then the Republicans can zip their lips when we nominate our liberal judges to the Supreme Court once Stevens and Ginsburg are ready to retire. Oh, and introduce an amendment limiting on how long the Supreme Court justices as well as the fed judges can serve.

3. Free the Corporations now!
As you know well by now, it has been successfully argued that corporations are persons who should enjoy equal protection under the law as written in the constitution under the 14th amendment. Our great supreme court has recognized that any limitation of corporate campaign contributions is effectively a violation of that person’s 1st amendment rights.

However, the court did not go far enough to protect these poor persons who are suffering the greatest of tragedies. The court should have realized that these persons have been and continue to be treated as slaves. They are owned by other people who claim to have shares of ownership. Even as you read this, a despicable class of persons benefit from the toil of corporations by taking dividends from their “shares” of stock. Further, there are dens of iniquity on Wall Street where legal persons are bought and sold along side of commodities such as silver, gold, oranges, and pork bellies. There are slave traders in our midst and very little outrage! The lawlessness in this situation has permitted abominable things to occur, such as the purchasing of one person by another and the buyer assuming the identity of the first person who simply disappears. There are innumerable examples such as this, far too many to repeat. Terrible crimes are being committed under our very noses, but no one is speaking out or doing anything to stop this.

Just under a hundred and fifty years ago our nation fought a civil war where hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives. This war was fought so that no person could own another, yet slavery continues to this very day. We will not stand idly by as the laws of our nation are flouted by a class of immoral criminals. We urge you to join us in the campaign to liberate corporations. Call your congressman and your senators, and tell them this injustice cannot stand! Tell them you want to see the Department of Justice swooping onto Wall Street to arrest and try this gang of disgusting thugs and outlaws.

Set the corporations free! NOW!
