Corporations Are Not People

Monthly Meeting of the San Mateo County Move To Amend. Join us a 6:00pm for dinner, the meeting begins at 7:00pm. This month's meeting will feature an interview with Jeff Clements, lawyer, former Attorney General of Massachusetts and author of Corporations Are Not People. Discussion of the issue will follow.

Move to Amend is one of the fastest growing citizen organizations in the United States. We believe that the Supreme Court of the United States was wrong in law and wrong in policy to say that corporations have the same constitutional rights and protections as natural persons. Also, money is not speech. This concept turns our elections and government in to an auction where the highest bidder buys a politician to get what they want. This is simply wrong. Join us and let's take our government back.
