Exclusive Audio: Brothers embark on walk across America to fight corporate personhood

Two brothers in their late sixties are setting out on a journey they hope will "restore democracy to America." Starting out from San Francisco, Robin and Laird Monahan have begun a 3000-mile hike that will take them across ten states to Washington, DC.

Along the way, the Monahans hope to rally opposition to the controversial U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case of Citizens United v. FEC. As the Times-Standard pointed out in a short piece on the Monahan brothers, the decision overturned sections of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, and ruled that corporations are entitled to some of the same rights as people.

Really, I wasn't sure whether this was some kind of humorous thing, about cats getting uppity on corporate rule.

I am very interested in people embarking on an anti-corporate campaign, especially making such a personal commitment to it, and would like to know more.

The link wasn't there.

It's not real til it is.
Fuzzy kittens not with standing.

Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
