'Rights are for people, not corporations' goes to Congress
This week, as people globally honor Human Rights Day on the 10th, marking the 1948 adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and Americans celebrate Los Angeles for becoming the first city to end "corporate personhood", Representative Jim McGovern of Massachusetts is taking that human rights victory nationwide by pushing for co-sponsors for his "People's Rights Amendment" to the United States Constitution.
Representative Jim McGovern (D-MA) has introduced H.J.Res. 88, a 28th constitutional amendment clarifying that constitutional rights are for people, and that corporations are not people.
The amendment needs co-sponsors and then, approval of two-thirds of the House and Senate and three-quarters of state Legislatures.
Rep. McGovern said last month, "We must put a stop to the growing Corporate Rights movement that threatens the Founding Fathers' basic principle of 'We the People.'"
Determined to end corporatism, another word for fascism, McGovern said about corporations:
"They do not breathe. They do not have children. They do not die in war. They are artificial entities which we the people create and, as such, we govern them, not the other way around.
"The Citizens United ruling marks the most extreme extension of a corporate rights doctrine which has eroded our First Amendment and our Constitution.
"Now is the time for a 28th Amendment that lifts up the promise of American self-government: of, for, and by the people."

Now, co-sponsors are now needed for Rep. McGovern's constitutional amendment, so the public is urged to contact respective representatives to request this.

In February 2009, due to "the Nazi-corporate takeover of the United States," author-historian and a leading authority on fascism Glen Yeadon recommended an Amendment to the Constitution in a riveting Power Hour interview.
Yeadon is co-author of the book, "Nazi Hydra in America: Suppressed History of a Century."
(See: "Progressive solutions to US Nazi-corporatism," Dupré, D., February 9, 2009)
That interview (archived) also included practical solutions provided by Ethan Citizen, author of the Complete Patriot Guide to Oligarchical Collectivism.
Both Ethan and Yeadon are published by a leading American human rights publishing company, Progressive Press.
In December 2010, human rights defender, Vera Sharav further revealed America's Nazi Hydra, following the release of secret government documents proving U.S. officials in intelligence agencies subverted American democratic principles of goodness by adopting the Nazi philosophy that influences American life today. (See: "Human Rights group's explosive Nazis in America report")
Sharav wrote that under Project Paperclip, not only rocket scientists were recruited, but also convicted war criminals.
Those criminals included some of the same "doctors who had conducted medical atrocities on concentration camp inmates, such as: experiments with plague vaccines, experiments that force-fed chemically altered seawater to starved Dachau concentration camp inmates..."
Hundredth Monkey arrival?
Mary Beth Fielder, Move To Amend - LA founder who spearheaded bringing Wednesday's resolution to end "corporate personhood" to the LA City Council said after the council voted unanimously Wednesday to end corporate personhood said, "It's a great day for Los Angeles and it's a great day for the United States of America."
Move To Amend, the Green Party, Progressive Democrats and Los Angeles-based Human Rights Alert have worked to build the movement to drive this issue into Congress.
