PROPOSITION G | Libertarian Party of San Francisco

PROPOSITION G

DECLARATION OF POLICY OPPOSING CORPORATE PERSONHOOD.

Opposes artificial corporate rights and giving corporations the same rights entitled to human beings. Maintains that the Constitution and Bill of Rights are intended to protect the rights of individual human beings("natural persons").  Maintains that United States Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United vs the Federal Elections Commission (January 21, 2010) presents a threat to democracy by allowing unlimited corporate spending to influence elections. NO.

Corporate reform is needed, especially as they pertain to liability laws.  Our "no" recommendation arises from our preference to err on the side of free speech; and our observation that workers' unions excercise similar spending to influence elections but there is no declaration of policy before the voters to curtain their activities.
