Corporate Personhood Needs Fixed.

Last night I attended a "Move To Amend" meeting in Arvada. This group is a local chapter of a national group so named. The movement to move to amend is a coaltion of lots of folks who realize that the original intent of the founders of our nation did not include artificial legal fictions when they wrote, "We, the People..." (In fact most were pretty hostile to similar entities such as the British East India Company and extremely cautious to grant corporate charters for periods longer than 7 years.)

Today's letter to Our "Leaders"

Submitted by kinsey on Tue, 06/08/2010 - 12:54.

The blockade of Gaza by Israel is a war crime, an act of war that the US has ignored for three years. The Settlements and the continual growing of what Israel keeps calling "facts on the Ground" are clear evidence of bad faith in peace process negotiations. Now the murder and piracy on the high seas! And my elected leaders SILENT when we should be voting -- not to reject the Goldstone Report but to end military aid to Israel, and condemning the blockade and piracy,and playing lap dog to Israeli pressure to invade Iran, droning civilians and torturing captives etc etc.

The US government non-response to the Israeli act of Piracy and Murder on the high seas--intended to enforce an illegal 3 year blockade of Gaza-- reveals just how far into insanity our foreign policy has fallen. The general news media reporting has been atrocious. Ten o’clock news has been filled once again with happy talking idiots more concerned to get us five minutes of weather blather than to provide any honest reporting. In the popular American mind this event is just an

Accountability NOT

Today our President announced that his new Commission on the Gulf Oil Spill will follow through with investigations and hold any lawbreakers accountable. I presume this would include MMS government employees as well. He covered for his Secretary of Interior Salazar by saying that Mr. Salazar had been trying to clean up the collusion and conflict of interests in the MMS but just hadn't gotten the job done sufficiently by BP disaster time. OK then, how about Israel and International Law Mr. President? How about the previous administration's illegal preemptive war Mr.

Israel Escalates War Crimes

The commission of the crime of Piracy on the high sea, and the murder of up to 20 unarmed civilians seeking to bring humanitarian aid is Israel's latest step in enforcing its three year blockade of GAZA, a war crime and crime against humanity. The United States Government has not only looked the other way but continues to gift Israel with $3.5 of military aid each year. In the US Congress a huge majority of both Democrats and Republicans repudiated the Goldstone Report which cited Israel for war crimes. A blockade by itself is an act of war in international law.

"When you pay for marijuana, you are paying for the bullet that goes into the head of someone on the streets," Mayor Rybak of Minneapolis told the Star Tribune.

If this simple logic holds then we should argue that every time you pay for gasoline at the pump you are paying for a bullet that goes into the head of someone in Afghanistan, or Iraq. And you are paying for greenwash ads from the oil companies about the need for off-shore drilling.

Reports indicate that Elena Kagan buys into the illegal and stupid narrative that we are in a "war" and the President should have extraordinary war powers that override the Constitution'
