Letting corporations know that there are millions of Americans fed up with Companies outsourcing American jobs, and at the same time are sitting on 2 trillion dollars, failing to invest in American workers, and causing the economy to slump into a deep recession, near depression level. .

Over at least the past 130 years or so, a series of US Supreme Court decisions have incrementally afforded more and more rights to corporations, to the point that they are now legally considered people in the eyes of US jurisprudence. A long term, determined series of lawsuits should be undertaken to weaken and finally terminate this flawed fundamental principle of US law. We the flesh and blood people and citizens of the United States call on all public interest lawyers, legal organizations and other interested parties to coordinate and support such a strategy.

So-called 'Monsanto riders,' quietly slipped into the multi-billion dollar FY 2013 Agricultural Appropriations bill, would require - not just allow, but require - the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for the planting or cultivation of a genetically engineered crop, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted until an Environmental Impact Statement is completed. All the farmer or the biotech producer has to do is ask.

In the eyes of the law Corporation are considered people. As such they should be treated no differently than individuals when they commit crimes. Ex: W.R. Grace and Co. and seven high-ranking employees knew a Montana mine was releasing cancer-causing asbestos into the air andd to hide the danger to workers and townspeople, according to a federal indictment unsealed yesterday. More than 1,200 people became ill, and some of them died, prosecutors said. In this instance the corporation and the executives involved should be eligible for the death penalty based on the severity of the crime. French Example: French law provides for the prosecution of companies as legal entities in a similar way as an individual offender. Under article 121-2 of the Penal Code, «legal persons, with the exception of the State, are criminally liable for the offences committed on their account by their organs or representatives». As implied from article 121-2 of the Penal Code, companies may be held liable through imputation for acts caused by a natural person, so long as the natural person is acting as its organ or representative. A company may be prosecuted for most of the same offences as an individual offender. Therefore, the differences in the prosecution of an individual and a company result from practical realities, as detailed below. IN OTHER WORDS, IF CORPORATIONS WANT TO BE CONSIDERED NATURAL PERSONS THEY SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME LAWS AND PENALTIES AS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO COMMITS THOSE CRIMES

I want to see Wall Street pay for their crimes.

Congress should stop siding with special interest groups! End corporate personhood and return to the reality that a corporation is an entity, not a person! represent the people you were elected to serve and quit allowing lobbying (legalized bribery) to be the norm! People, not $$$$$, should elect our representatives!!

Should those ineligible to vote in an election be allowed to influence that election through financial aid, advertizing or promoting a party to the election or an issue in the election?

If corporations are deemed to be People they should then be taxed as People at the same rate.

Democrats spearheading legislation to limit lobbying to all interests have fair share of influence big or small.

Leaks from the secret negotiations reveal that multinationals are the clear winners, at the expense of ordinary people, in the most draconian manners. Examples include the ability for large Pharma companies to eliminate generic, lower costing drugs from being available; allowing greater leniency for multinational companies to, for example pollute, or not replant than the same type of company that is domestic due to different "laws" applying. If NAFTA took important power from the people, it's believed that this agreement, set to be passed before election day, will be a coup for corporations, to the detriment of our country.

Corporations have stacked the deck such that they have all the rights of individuals and very little of the accountability. Corporate power has far too much political power and thereby limits the political power of American citizens. It is time to restrain and outlaw corporate lobbying, corporate financing of political campaigns, and corporate spending for political purposes.
