Comment: Yes I know we are a democratic Republic, Misha.  And yes our initiative will affect all special legal entities [including those you mentioned] not just corporations.  And  I know that only a very small % of persons were considered to be persons in the constitution.  Only white male property owners were considered to be persons, not women, not slaves, not Native Americans, not working men without property.   We have had to fight to obtain those rights.  We are simply asserting that corporations [never mentioned in the constitution] should not have those constitutional rights of personhood.  This does not do away with corporate status.   It is only a few of the biggest corporations and the wealthiest people whose influence has been supercharged in our election process.  Decisions that corporations are people and money is speech have given them that right.  Those decisions must be overturned.
