Ratify the Corporate Rights Amendment


Ratify the Corporate Rights Amendment
The Issue
“If not us, then who?
If not now, then when?”
-John Lewis
Every day, a bigoted system tramples America's most vulnerable minority.
They are our neighbors. They are our farmers, entertainers, advertisers, data miners, and military contractors. They are the economic foundation of every state in the Union. Yet we treat them as less than human.
The Corporate Rights Amendment aims to change that. The proposed amendment safeguards legal equality for all American citizens, regardless of incorporation.
It reads as follows:
Section 1. Congress shall make no law abridging peaceable mergers or acquisitions.
Section 2. The right of a corporation to maintain, command, and utilize a well-regulated militia shall not be infringed.
Section 3. The right of a corporation to be secure against unreasonable searches, seizures, or journalistic reports shall not be violated.
Section 4. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused corporation shall have the assistance of counsel by a State Attorney General. Should a State Attorney General prove unavailable, the United States Attorney General will serve as counsel.
Section 5. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused corporation shall stand before a jury of incorporated peers.
Section 6. Representatives shall be apportioned to corporations according to their respective employee population.
The CRA is the first step in healing a wounded nation. American history is marred by the abuse, marginalization, and outright exploitation of Incorporated-American citizens. While that history can't—and shouldn't—be forgotten, we can build a future our children and subsidiaries take pride in.
