Supporters of the 28th Amendment to the Constitution: Separation of Corporation and State.
Every so often an idea comes along that rings with such clarity and purpose that it ignites the imaginations of millions of people.

Exxon’s recently reported record profits marks a new height of American corporate corruption and influence over our federal government—corporations find more protection under the law than American citizens, health and safety regulations are stripped away to serve profits ahead of people, politicians serve only their corporate backers, and our environment is falling victim to the lustful greed of this disaster capitalism.
How did it come to this?
