Corporations Are Not the People: A PEN Action to Reverse 'Citizens United' Court Ruling
The following action has been prepared by PEN (People's E-mail Network) in response to the U.S. Supreme Court rulling in 'Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission' asserting that corporate money in politics is the equivalant of the right of free speech by individual citizens.

Congress must act swiftly to block and override this Court ruling by enacting legislation to reject the "Corporate Personhood" doctrine and reassert that governments regulate corporations, not the other way around.
Rep. Alan Grayson (D FL 8) has already assembled proposed legislation in the House to counter the Court's ruling. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) is doing the same in the Senate.
