I Stand For

            Last year, the Supreme Court elected that corporations have the same exact constitutional rights as a people have. I do not stand for this. Corporations are not people. This is ridiculous for this to be true. Even Republican candidate Mitt Romney approves of the Supreme Court’s decision only because he was a very influential businessman. The reasons I believe this is because these corporations are all about the money and they have a higher influence than us real people. Candidates only look to corporations to get the money necessary for there campaigns, therefore corporations aren’t real people, because we non-corporate people are the ones that make the real decisions through our votes and our lives. This is why we organize things like the occupy protest because we feel that our voice has been overthrown by these corporations. Giving corporations the same first amendment rights as us normal citizens only makes them stronger and gives them more of a foothold in our country. A group called Move to Amend is leading the push to having the Supreme Court remove the right they gave to corporations to have these rights.
