Something stunningly outrageous happened this week, when Google and Verizon announced they had reached a "deal" for the future of the internet. Since when is it the place of special interest corporations to determine what public policy should be?

Actually it has been going on in back rooms all along, a prime recent example being a health care bill written (the one that passed) substantially by Liz Fowler, a former Wellpoint executive, who is now apparently in line to also administrate the bill she wrote (another outrage).
But never before has it been so brazen that two industry giants should publicly declare they have reached a private agreement, and to expect Congress and the President to just fall in line.
They must not. Congress must reject this public carving up of the public interest and instead establish clear principles in law that industry giants must not be allowed to use their power to discriminate access to the internet of the future.

This is just another example of why corporations must be put back in their place. Corporations truly are NOT the people. Let them conduct their business, but under regulations that serve primarily the public interest. And they cannot be allowed to have inappropriate and harmful influence on the election of the very representatives duty bound to keep them so regulated.
That is why we have the long term objective of a constitutional amendment soundly repudiating the Supreme Court's enshrinement of corporate speech rights as superior to all others, by virtue of their financial power.
That is why we need your help now to distribute hundreds of thousands of "Corporations Are NOT The People" bumper stickers, and to spread the message movement any other way you can. We have already printed 50,000 of these full 4 color UV coated beauties, and have moved more than half that number already, mostly just given away free to anyone who simply requests one.
Please consider picking up a bulk pack of 25 for just a modest donation, which is what makes it possible for us to send free bumper stickers to anyone who cannot make a donation right now. Be the key activist in your own neighborhood to get these in the hands of all your friends and on to their car bumpers.
Bulk Corporations Are Not The People bumper stickers:
Get your Bumper Sticker to STOP the Supreme Court 5
And you can always get one free for yourself with no donation required, if you have not requested yours already.
