[It will be interesting to see where this could go if Nadar, Demos and
other anti-corporate types take up the banner.]
"Corporations shall not be considered to be 'persons' protected by the
Constitution of the United States or the Constitution of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania within the Second Class Township of Porter, Clarion County,
Pennsylvania."
Porter Township, Pennsylvania, has fired the first shot in the New American
Revolution with this first binding law denying corporate personhood. It's a
revolution that will be fought not with guns but in the courts, in the
voting booths, and on the battlefield of public opinion. (Far from harming
corporations, returning human rights solely to humans will lead to an
entrepreneurial boom in America - only a small handful of very large
corporations abuse these rights to deceive people, hide crimes, or make
politicians violate the will of their own voters. The millions of ethical
corporations will thus be freed from the tyranny of the few while
democratic government will be returned to its citizens.)
