Another Chance to Get it Right
I don't know if everyone has heard about this, but Nike was sued in Caifornia for making false claims. They were advertising that they had improved their working conditions...their sweatshops. A consumer in CA called them on their lie and took them to court. (In California a citzen may sue corporations for making false advertising claims.) Rather than try to claim they were not lying, Nike is taking their case to the Supreme Court, claiming that first amendment laws allow a corporation the same right to free speech, (the right to lie) that an individual citizen.

A group in Pennsylvania is trying to set things right. They point out that corporations were never meant to have the same political rights as an individual and the founding fathers actively worked against allowing such power to fall in the hands of corporations. In the late 19th century, corporations gained a lot of power in American politics but this was never how it was meant to be. It will be tough for such a movement to ever happen while Americans still get a majority of their news and information from corporately controlled media but this is exactly what America needs. We, the people, must take the power back.
