Revoke Corporate Personhood Rights

Created by M.C. on September 22, 2011

Since the 1800s, American corporations have been allowed the same rights as any natural person, giving businesses more loopholes to take advantage of average citizens around the world.

I propose that the presidential administration take the necessary steps to level the playing field between corporate titans and real, living persons by passing legislature:

* Defining corporate identity as separate from living persons
* Subjecting corporations to stricter laws to avoid abuse of power
* Prohibiting corporations from influencing government
* Allowing Congress to set limits on corporate contributions to government

Please take measures to help eliminate common corporate abuse of power, allowing Americans fairer opportunity to prosper and have a voice in government.
