Move to Amend the Constitution
It's time to change the rules

MovetoAmend.org is a project of the Campaign to Legalize Democracy. The purpose of the Campaign to Legalize Democracy is to end the illegitimate legal doctrines that prevent the American people from governing ourselves.

“Today the business once transacted by individuals in every community is in the control of corporations, and many of the men who once conducted an independent business are gathered into the organization, and all personal identity, and all individualities lost. Each man has become a mere cog in one of the wheels of a complicated mechanism. It is the business of the corporations to get money. It exacts but one thing of its employees: Obedience to orders. It cares not about their relations to the community, the church, society, or the family. It wants full hours and faithful service, and when they die, wear out or are discharged, it quickly replaces them with new material.

The corporation is a machine for making money, but it reduces men to the insignificance of mere numerical figures, as certainly as the private ranks of the regular army. ~ Fighting Bob La Follette, speech on the Dangers Threatening Representative Government, Mineral Point, Wisconsin, July 4, 1897

10. "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice...
"...insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America" has been turned on it's head so as to establish a breach of The Constitution - The Constitution, so up-ended by willfully contrary both others foreign & domestic - has established a breach of the words and the spirit of The Constitution all the way up into all four corners of the document itself and that is reason enough for a re-visitation as to the core inalienable status of America as a nation as alluded to by The Constitution itself never having mentioned corporate person-hood and the furtherance of corporate no-bid crony war profits as it's primary goal

14. The Constitution does not need to be amended.
This is another case of diddling with the symptoms. What needs to be done is to apply the Constitution as it is written.
It starts out "We the people..." Not We the Corporations...
Nowhere does it say anything about business of any kind having any right as people.

16. Corporations will fund adverts
and politicians who would stop such a thing and the idiot repugs will buy it.
This was a coup.
