Get Your Elizabeth Warren T-Shirts!

Posted on by pabianice

Get this --

Mitt Romney says that corporations are people.

Crazy, right? Elizabeth thought so too. So she spoke out:

"No, Mitt, corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they love, they cry, they dance, they live and they die. Learn the difference."

Thousands of people like you shared that quote all over the Internet -- so many, in fact, that we decided to put it on our newest campaign t-shirt... Corporations are not people.

We dont run this country for corporations. We run it for people.

And now you can show all your friends and family that Elizabeth Warren will fight for people like us.

Thanks,

Mindy Myers Campaign Manager Elizabeth for MA

Actually, Princess Fauxcahontis, since you didn't build this campaign, I want you to donate your money to me. After all, I paid for the roads and bridges that your caravan of eight Lexus SUVs uses and the airports your G-V campaign jets land at.

“Mitt Romney says that corporations are people. Crazy, right? Elizabeth thought so too.” Sounds like Elizabeth is every bit as competent in business law as she is a Native American. Lying retards - what passes for the cream-of-the-crop in the Democrat party.

IF she is elected, you just know the media dumbos will go to her for every issue and she will be more odious to see than Pelosi ever was. A white Sheila Jackson Lee, Harvard education or not. Please don’t let this happen.

Mitt Romney says that corporations are people. Crazy, right? Elizabeth thought so too. Hey, Elizabeth, let’s say you’re on your way to the tribal council meeting, and you get hit by an Obama-funded Chevy Volt - do you sue the car for your injuries, or do you sue the driver? And then let’s say the driver’s lawyer proves that the steering system in the Volt was defective, who do you sue? The car or . . . GM (otherwise known as the corporation)?

Wish I could go to the Democrat Convention and do the Atlanta Brave Tomahawk Chop thing throughout her speech.

I stand behind the message that Ms. Warren is promulgating here; as I believe the usurpation of the republic was facilitated by extending the 14th amendment right of due process to associations of rights bearing persons. In Europe they draw a distinction between civil and legal persons so as to prevent the usurpation of the republic by monied factions who buy politicians and votes, The law distinguishes between a natural and legal person. A natural person is any human being, with legal capacity commencing from the time of birth. A legal (artificial) person is an association of people or special-purpose fund (e.g. a foundation) that is recognized by law as having legal personality. It differs from other associations of people in that it possesses legal capacity and can appear before the courts as plaintiff or defendant (”Parteifähigkeit”, i.e. capacity to be a party in court). A legal person is separate and distinct in law from its members and from their number or changeover. It is an independent legal entity and is in principle protected by basic rights . Its particular name is also protected by law against unauthorized use by third parties. It has the capacity to act and can thus acquire rights and create obligations with binding effect. It does this through its organs, which in the sphere of private-law labour relations are, depending on the form of company , the shareholders’ meeting or company general meeting , the supervisory board , the management board or a managing director . It is recognized in case law that a legal person is liable for unlawful conduct on the part of its organs and must pay damages where appropriate. http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/emire/GERMANY/LEGALPERSON-DE.htm America simply does not draw this distinction, instead extending the 14th Amendment right to due process to legal and civil persons in the same manner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_County_v._Southern_Pacific_Railroad It goes way beyond this though, when the court interpeted the Federal Electioneering Act of 1971 in Buckley v. Valeo (cited in the last reference) in accord with the precedent in Santa Clara County v Southern Union Pacific they did so in a nefarious manner; Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1 (1976), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States upheld a federal law which set limits on campaign contributions, but ruled that spending money to influence elections is a form of constitutionally protected free speech, and struck down portions of the law. The court also ruled candidates can give unlimited amounts of money to their own campaigns. The court ruled that corporate spending on elections by legal persons cannot be limited or subject to donation transparency requirements (civil persons are limited to 2,500 a year, and that donation is a matter of public record). By doing so they created a political system which had only the masquerade of two parties, when in reality all laws are written by those who belong to a faction with monied interests. This line of reasoning was further amended in 2010, during the ruling in Citizens United v. FEC, to mean that any donation transparency requirements on corporate spending are unconstitutional. PAC’s and Super PAC’s are a product of the Supreme Court! As such, the two parties contemporaneously exist only to promulgate the false ideology of trickle down/supply side economics(neo-cons) or the false ideology of institutional support for large business interests (neo-libs).This is nothing knew. Madison told us this was going to happen in the Federalist Papers for God’s sake. AMONG the numerous advantages promised by a well-constructed Union, none deserves to be more accurately developed than its tendency to break and control the violence of faction. The friend of popular governments never finds himself so much alarmed for their character and fate as when he contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice. He will not fail, therefore, to set a due value on any plan which, without violating the principles to which he is attached, provides a proper cure for it. The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public councils have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have everywhere perished, as they continue to be the favorite and fruitful topics from which the adversaries to liberty derive their most specious declamations. We simply did not listen.
