An Amendment to Preclude Corporations from Claiming Bill of Rights Protections

http://reclaimdemocracy.org/political_reform/proposed_constitutional_amendments.html

snip...

SECTION 1. The U.S. Constitution protects only the rights of living human beings.

SECTION 2. Corporations and other institutions granted the privilege to exist shall be subordinate to any and all laws enacted by citizens and their elected governments.

SECTION 3. Corporations and other for-profit institutions are prohibited from attempting to influence the outcome of elections, legislation or government policy through the use of aggregate resources or by rewarding or repaying employees or directors to exert such influence.

SECTION 4. Congress shall have power to implement this article by appropriate legislation.

More on why we need to overturn corporate constitutional privileges, (a.k.a., corporate personhood) here: http://reclaimdemocracy.org/personhood/index.html
