Motion to Amend the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United (Corporate personhood)

We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United, and move to amend our Constitution to:

•Firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.

•Guarantee the right to vote and to participate, and to have our vote and participation count.

•Protect local communities, their economies, and democracies against illegitimate "preemption" actions by global, national, and state governments.

mail one to your friends.

...recognize non-person legal entities, and define the limits under which they may operate. Then, the SCOTUS cannot grant "personhood" to anyone; the Consitution would cede that power to Congress. Further, it allows Congress to begin to limit special interest lobbying, limit specific markets to independents, and it goes on from there.
