Forum Post: Food for thought, why fight for equality that never existed?

I read post after post about equal representation, equal footing and I even posted about a level playing field with Corporations. I was in error.

The more I read of the words and warnings of out founding fathers, Corporations were never given nor were they ever meant to have any representation in the political process and the Courts are simply bought and paid for and attempting to fabricate rights for Corporations that are not there.

Thomas Jefferson - “I hope that we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”

Thomas Jefferson - “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

Thomas Jefferson - “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.”

John Adams - “Banks have done more injury to the religion, morality, tranquility, prosperity, and even wealth of the nation than they can have done or will ever do good.”

James Madison - “History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and it’s issuance.”

This Amendment to our Constitution clarifies this fact by reiterating the existing Amendments and then removes all rights of all non-persons from influencing the Legislative and Electoral Processes.

In other words, it removes the Corporations Court given rights to influence the political process. Afterwards, the Citizens can get busy cleaning up the mess.

  1. A “person” is defined by the Constitution, specifically by Article 1, Sections 2, 3 and 9 Article 2, Section 1, Article 3 Section 3, Amendment 5, Amendment 12, Amendment 14 Sections 1, 2 and 3, Amendment 20 Sections 3 and 4 and Amendment 22 Section 1.

  2. Only a “person” may participate in the Legislative and/or the Electoral Processes.

  4. Only a “person” may contribute to the input and/or the creation, and/or advertising to and/or against any piece of legislation.

A couple of other recommendations to speed up the cleanup.

  1. When The US Supreme Court finds a law, regulation, etc... unconstitutional, it is automatically stricken.

So that means no union lobbyists as well right?

So tell your congressman to not take any corporate money. If you recall - John McCain pledged to go with public financing for the presidential campaign, Obama campaigned on doing the same - then reneged when he got the nomination. You are aiming at the wrong target.

This Amendment prohibits them doing so and makes it a violation of the Constitution to do so.
