HUMBOLDT MOVE TO AMEND

http://www.MoveToAmend.org/CA-eureka

Humboldt Move to Amend is a local affiliate of the Move to Amend Coalition

We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling and other related cases, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.

Are Corporations Zombies?

Are corporations the zombies that we have always feared (in make believe novels and movies) that have come to life in some Orwellian fashion?  It sure seems like corporations are indeed the “undead.”  If corporations are “persons” as Mitt Romney says, then how come they never die?  The answer is clear.  Corporations don’t die because they are the undead.

Corporations are single minded, just like movie zombies.   Corporations single-mindedly pursue profits just like fictional zombies single-mindedly pursue our flesh.  There is no morality except for profit, except for flesh.

Are they feasting upon us?  I will leave that to you to discern, dear Reader.

Murray Hill Incorporated is Running for Congress
for the Best Democracy Money can Buy

Until now, corporations only influenced politics with high-paid lobbyists and
backroom deals. But today, thanks to an enlightened supreme court, corporations now have all the rights the founding fathers meant for us.

That’s why Murray Hill Incorporated is taking democracy’s next step– running for Congress. It is a vision for the future we can all be proud of.

Vote Murray Hill Incorporated for Congress!
For the best democracy money can buy.

If corporations are deemed to be persons under the law then we can certainly pass a law mandating the death penalty for serious corporate felonies.

The corporate death penalty would mean the liquidation of all of  the felonious corporation’s assets with the proceeds distributed to the people.

Corporate Personhood = Corporate Slavery

If corporations are “persons” and slavery is illegal, then how is it that one corporation can own another one?

A proposed ordinance for the cities of Eureka, Arcata and the County of Humboldt:

“Any corporation that wishes to claim the status of personhood in any court of law in the (city)(county) jurisdiction must file an Application for Corporate Personhood Status and pay such fees as determined by the (council)(supervisors)”

“Such status shall convey no rights beyond the personhood status granted under the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California as interpreted by the various courts.”

Pacific Legal Foundation Mourns Passing of Former Trustee Robin Arkley, Sr.

PLF’s staff and family mourn the passing of former PLF trustee Robin Arkley, Sr., who died this week at age 83

…..{snip}….

“Robin became involved with PLF because he had been a victim of government abuse,” said PLF President Rob Rivett. “He had firsthand experience with regulators trying to confiscate private property. When he learned about PLF and our effectiveness, he joined our board to help our fight for constitutional rights.”
