It's time to strip corporations of the same rights as individuals! It is the only way that we can truly get our government back as a servant of the people. Lately it has been proven so clearly that many corporations take much, much more than they ever give back. Socially and environmentally many corporations offer deserts where there were one lush forests. With fair wages paid as well as TOTAL REPARATION of the the environment, is there room for the huge profits corporations are so willing to defile anything for?
With the corporate lock on our government the military as well as many other agencies, created out of service to the people and the environment, will continue to be forces that secure cheap labor and raw materials world wide instead of being an active agents of peace and justice.
Agencies created to maintain and improve air and water quality have been gutted and left lame. We once set benchmarks worldwide for acceptable and unacceptable as ingredients in food cosmetics and the environment Now, due to corporate influence and control of our government, we allow known cancerous ingredients many products that we use and consume.
I live in what once was a fishing town. Now the fish are filled with mercury and PCB's. Local wells are tainted with lead from chemical applications to the land. Can one make clam to profits when so much is poisoned? Why do we as taxpayers pay for such cleanup time and time again?
What we did not know at the drafting of the Decoration of Independence is that CLEAN WATER AND LAND ARE THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL INGREDIENTS FOR FREEDOM. With out that all there is is shopping. Until we culturally give up the dream of buying the "Newbig" everything! There will be little juice for such changes. We have turned form a righteous wold leader fighting for freedom and justice to a self poisoning greedy gang of thugs.
We can still choose. The time is now!
