Imagine you waking up one morning, turning on your faucet, and realizing the water your children drink has been poisoned — and no one is being held accountable.

Imagine discovering that if you had done the same thing, you’d be labeled a terrorist, dragged into custody, and your life destroyed… yet a corporation walks away untouched.

For years, corporations have been granted the rights of “persons,” but without the consequences that real people face when they harm or kill. When a corporation contaminates a city’s water, poisons communities, or knowingly endangers human life, the penalty should match the gravity of the crime — including forced liquidation, loss of charter, or maximum legal sanctions. Accountability must apply equally to all.

Close your eyes for a moment and visualize a future where companies can control your water, your food, even your air — where every essential part of life becomes a toll booth. If we don’t act now, that future becomes real. As a veteran with two National Defense ribbons, I’ve seen what happens when power goes unchecked. I know what danger looks like.

We are living in a time where toxic chemicals end up in our food supply, where communities are left to suffer while corporations profit. How did we allow this? Why are we staying silent?

Now picture something different:

A system where corporations that harm human beings cannot hide behind money or lawyers. A system where the people’s lives come first — always.

Enough is enough.

If a person poisoned a city, they would face the highest penalties the law allows.

It’s time for corporations to face the same standard.

Sign this petition if you believe human lives must come before corporate profit — always.
Imagine, for just a moment, that you are standing not in the present but drifting through the long corridors of history, watching the same patterns echo again and again.

And as you breathe slowly, you can almost feel how many millions of ordinary people—just like you, just like your grandparents—were quietly swept aside by governments and empires that believed they alone had the right to shape the destiny of nations.

You may visualize the Irish during the Great Hunger, staring across fences at ships laden with grain—food grown on their own soil—while a million starved because policy valued profit more than people.

Or imagine the Armenians marched into the desert, trusting their government until the very moment the roads closed behind them.

You might remember the Ukrainian Holodomor, where families who once traded eggs and milk among neighbors were criminalized for gathering grain from their own fields, costing millions of lives under the illusion of “economic management.”

And picture, too, the Chinese Great Leap Forward, where top-down agricultural experiments ignored local wisdom, and tens of millions perished as the state insisted that suffering was “necessary progress.”

As you reflect on these events, you may notice a soft, growing awareness rising inside—an understanding that every one of these disasters began when communities surrendered their natural rights, their seeds, their skills, their relationships, to distant authorities who promised efficiency but delivered catastrophe.

And with that awareness comes the quiet, steady recognition that history warns us—not with panic, but with memory—that societies endure only when people reclaim the simple, ancient powers that sustained humanity for thousands of years: food, water, skill, family, barter, wisdom, and the right to say no more.
