Corporate America Responsible for Trayvon Miller's Murder Daniel, If anyone has any doubts about corporate America running amok, then they need look no further than the malicious shooting of Trayvon Martin, the African American teenager who was shot dead on the streets — legally. Suzanne Merkelson exposes the corporate connection in this article. It seems the Florida law that created legal murder is a brainchild of ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, an outfit of corporations and Republican state legislators who concoct these crazy laws and then pass them onto an unwitting public. Couple that with the rampant racism and hate-mongering of corporate media like Fox "News" and we have a recipe for tragedy. That ALEC exists at all is a sad comment on the state of our government, and that they get away with interfering in the legislative process is a crime in and of itself. It is a good thing that Move To Amend exists because we have the solution to this dilemma — end corporate personhood and declare that money is not speech. All over the country, Americans are coming together in efforts to pass resolutions and ballot initiatives, which say exactly that. Our goal by the end of the year is to pass 50 initiatives in cities, towns and states in order to create a grassroots groundswell to amend the Constitution. Will you help us put ALEC in their place? It's not as hard as you think. Local volunteers are organizing and have already passed dozens of resolutions; find the tools and resources you need to be successful in the Get Involved section of our website. We cannot sit idly by while corporate America is gunning to bring down our democracy, to silence our voices, and while they are now responsible for murdering citizens in the streets.
