From DH Eric Hensal:
It is disappointing to report that the state of Maryland rejected our application to register to vote. In a clear bias towards bodied persons, the state does not believe we have the right to register.
But this is only the first step in our stand for corporate civil rights. We are sure you agree, our campaign is at the forefront of an historic movement that will eventually win all the rights our founding fathers meant for corporations to have. We will not be deterred in our efforts and will continue moving forward.
With the state's response in hand, we will formulate our legal response to this rejection shortly. For your information, the county and state communications are posted for your review.

I am certain the ACLU will want to pick this up!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your legal arguements played out on the larger scale. When the country was founded you had to be male, white, and land owning to vote. Obviosly there are no issues with over-turning previous standing rules and this is America where the amount your vote counts is directly proportional to the amount of money you can use to back it up. Who has more money than the corporations, so obviously their voice should be heard.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered having corporations around the country join this campaign and try to their corporations on the ballot in other states?
ReplyDeleteA bunch of individual companies doing it is one thing. An organized nationwide effort would make a much bigger statement.
Traditionally, it helps if you own a mule.
ReplyDeleteTake it to the Supreme Court! They're on your side!
ReplyDeleteThe 'Maryland response' link is broken?
ReplyDeleteThere's a good story about your rejection titled "Election Board halts corporation’s congressional run: Is a corporation a citizen or not?" at http://www.examiner.com/x-36917-LA-County-Liberal-Examiner~y2010m3d19-Election-Board-halts-corporations-congressional-run-Is-a-corporation-a-citizen-or-not
ReplyDeleteIf they won't let you vote then run a write-in campaign. Voting is free speech and the right to exercise free speech shall not be infringed upon. I heard that somewhere.
