Free the Corporations now!
As you know well by now, it has been successfully argued that corporations are persons who should enjoy equal protection under the law as written in the constitution under the 14th amendment. Our great supreme court has recognized that any limitation of corporate campaign contributions is effectively a violation of that persons 1st amendment rights.

However, the court did not go far enough to protect these poor persons who are suffering the greatest of tragedies. The court should have realized that these persons have been and continue to be treated as slaves. They are owned by other people who claim to have shares of ownership. Even as you read this, a despicable class of persons benefit from the toil of corporations by taking dividends from their “shares” of stock. Further, there are dens of iniquity on Wall Street where legal persons are bought and sold along side of commodities such as silver, gold, oranges, and pork bellies. There are slave traders in our midst and very little outrage! The lawlessness in this situation has permitted abominable things to occur, such as the purchasing of one person by another and the buyer assuming the identity of the first person who simply disappears. There are innumerable examples such as this, far too many to repeat. Terrible crimes are being committed under our very noses, but no one is speaking out or doing anything to stop this.

Just under a hundred and fifty years ago our nation fought a civil war where hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives. This war was fought so that no person could own another, yet slavery continues to this very day. I will not stand idly by as the laws of our nation are flouted by a class of immoral criminals. I urge you to join me in the campaign to liberate corporations. Call your congressman and your senators, and tell them this injustice cannot stand! Tell them you want to see the Department of Justice swooping onto Wall Street to arrest and try this gang of disgusting thugs and outlaws. Set the corporations free! NOW!
