[Guest guest]

Dear All,

This is a really good cause. It is in the top of ideas for which Obama will

address in the coming year. A member actually helped get the

ball rolling on this. (don't have permission to give name).

But...it needs 9 more votes according to the website. See below. The

medical whistleblower orgs are supporting this, too.

VOTE Please!!

Dear Friends,

Did any one of you see the movie " The Corporation " ,

_http://www.thecorporation.com/_ (http://www.thecorporation.com/) , based on

the book by the same

name ?

It is fascinating !

I fully agree with Sharon, as the lack of any individual responsibility and

accountability of the " Corporation " is at the core

of our country' s meltdown.

A 1886 Supreme Court clerk's headnotes misreading (Santa Clara County vs.

Southern Pacific Railroad) applied the 14th Amendment to corporations,

extending to them all the rights, but none of the responsibilities, of human

persons.

The result has been the steady erosion of our democracy since then, and the

consequent rise of the corporate state, which is primarily responsible for

the military-corporate-media-academic complex, the expansion of the often

brutal U.S. global empire (including the IMF, WTO, and World Bank) with its

protecting militarism, and the destruction of our only planet's environment,

all

in the service of corporate capital's endless lust for power and profits.

Corporate personhood is at the core of all of our problems. Ending it is the

start of the way back to humane civilization.

GO and VOTE, before the deadline !
