[GPSCC-chat] [SCC-MTA-General] Citizen's United kills GMO Labeling in Connecticut

[cdnbirch at aol.com]

The Supreme Court, by ignoring our founding fathers wishes, have given artificial entities, including business free speech rights. It is those rights that enable corporations to overturn our democratically enacted laws to protect real people's health and welfare.

 In Vermont the people passed a law requiring labeling for businesses using bovine growth hormones, It was overturned based on the basis of corporate free speech rights. 90% of the Americans favor labeling for GMOs. The court will overturn any law passed based on the the corporations free speech rights, which include the right not to speak.

All constitutional rights for artficial entities must go if we want to return to a democracy.

Note that MTA Section 1 (or is it Section 3) specifically preserves 1st amendment rights for artificial entities. If you go to my Facebook community page "Small Businesses Are People Too" you can find a proposal for amendment language that requires businesses to disclose despite their 1st amendment rights, and without giving up their 4th amendment rights and other vital rights.

Sorry if this is old news but I found this blog radio spot where they discuss how the initiative failed by a last minute claim by the commercial merchants right to free speech. They bring this up fairly early in the interview so you don't have to listen to the entire show.
