So let me get this straight. Corporations have the RIGHT to freedom speech which means they can spend as much as they want to drown out my voice using the very funds that they extract from me for purchasing their products. Well, I guess I could “protest” by NOT buying healthcare, fuel for my car, basic communication services, or any number of other “essentials”.
The counter to the recent Supreme Court decision is to push for a Constitutional Amendment. Assuming the people of the United States could be mobilized to lobby their representatives to vote for such an amendment, what do YOU think the Corporations would then do? Don’t they have the RIGHT to also lobby their “representatives” with their vast resource of PROFITS? Since history has shown that OUR representatives give their votes to the ones with give them the most money (maybe not always, but enough for me to be concerned), I can predict how that vote would turn out!
My Dear Sisters, I propose that we take Democracy into our own hands and form ourselves into a CORPORATION! If we incorporate, maybe, just maybe, we can lobby for REAL CHANGE and get, among other things, a health care bill passed that protects human dignity.
Oh if only our representatives could all have the heart of Mr. Smith!
