The American Friends Service Committee, which has a distinquished history of becoming involved in issues in a constructive way well before most of the populace wakes up, has embarked on confronting "Corporate Personhood."
Basically, some people argue that corporations should not have the same rights as individuals. In several rulings, the U.S. Supreme Court has giving corporations such rights. The AFSC argues that this is not only a misintrerpritation of the U.S. Constitution, corporations have used their, "personhood," to deminish the rights, and the living conditions human beings. We are for the rights of human beings, arn't we.
The AFSC is presenting a forum on "Corporate Personhood" at the Cleveland Heights Public Library on Lee Road on Sept. 1st. To find out more click here: www.adva.com/realneo/elements/AFSC_Statment_Cle_Hts_meeting_11_09_01.pdf [1]
