end legal fiction that companies have the rights of a person
end legal fiction that companies have the rights of a person
The Issue
US Senate granted the legal fiction to corporations that they have the rights of a person back in the 1990's.
Upon this law, the Supreme court placed the recent gift of allowing corporations to outspend citizens in elections.
We actually need a constitutional amendment to make it clear forever that companies do not have the rights of persons, but for now, we need the US Senate to END THE LEGAL FICTION THAT CORPORATIONS ARE PERSONS.
