so you want what????
an amendment to take away rights????
the right of freedom of speech is given to ALL, this includes people,
NEWSPAPERS, non-profit, political organizations (remember move-on.orgs full page ad in the NYT named ""Gen. Betrayus"")(or acorn), legal organizations(aclu), and also corporations (yes they should have freedom of speech, since LAWS might/might not effect them), and Unions
so what you want is NOT an amendment, what you are advocating is throwing the CONSTITUTION away...we know its just a piece of paper
the SCOTUS just did the correct thing, they threw out the unconstitutional parts of a law
but that's the way it works
the LEGISLATURE writes the laws, not the JUDICIAL
the JUDICIAL makes sure those LAWS writen by the legislature follow the CONSTITUTION
if a LAW is found to be unCONSTITUTINAL by the JUDICIAL branch, then the law is thrown out, and the LEGISLATIVE branch starts again with a law that ACTUALLY follows the constitution
a,b,c is simple as 1,2,3
a) legistlative branch(congress) writes bills
b) executive branch(POTUS) SIGNS bills into laws
c) Judicial CHECKS AND BALLANCES those laws against the constitution
so YOU are saying that an entity (corporation, political group, nonprofit, legal group) should NOT have a RIGHT to express their VIEWS and their CONSTITUTIONAL right of freedom of speech?????
guess what the DNC and RNC are corporations
so YOU want NOONE to be able to express their views if they are part of a larger entity???? how nice of you
fact newspapers are corporations
fact dnc and rnc are corporations
fact move-on.org is a corporation
fact aclu is a corportaion
are you saying that corporations (even big bad BANKS) should have NO OPINION or VIEW (ie FREEDOM OF SPEECH) as to what politicians are making laws that WILL EFFECT THEM?????
are you saying that move-on.org(a corporation) should not have the RIGHT to take out a full page add in the New York Times(another corporation) staing their OPINION or View of a certain political subject????
if a "corporation" shall have no rights or 'personhood' then it there by ELIMINATES that corporation, which LIMITS freedom of speech....IE if I (a person) want to take out an ad in a newspaper (a CORPORTAION), then I would not be allowed (ie loss of rights), because said vehicle(newspaper) is a corporation..............
do you understand that once you start limiting RIGHTS, then you are EMPOWERING the GOVERNMENT and leading to totalitarianism......please read 1984
