Thom: "Tuesday.
Ron: It doesn't play till Wednesday.
Thom: Oh, okay. Well, it still, I mean you know, follow that vote. Find out how their vote went. If the vote went down, if the vote failed, tell them to, to bring it up again. But beyond that, you can bring"
Ron: There was a meeting in Philly about it.
Thom: "it to a town near you"
Ron: Go ahead, I'm sorry.
Thom: All right. You can bring it to a town near you and the whole package on how to do that, the whole kit of how to do that, is over at movetoamend.org.
Ron: Okay, that's good to hear.
Thom: I, unabashedly and without reservation, endorse them and their work.
Ron: So, the Occupy Movement is paying a lot of attention to corporate personhood. It is something that every occupied territory has a sign that says "I'll accept Corporate Personhood when Texas executes a corporation." Got anything to say about that sign?
Thom: I think it's brilliant.
Ron: Yeah?
Thom: Or, I'll accept Corporate Personhood when a corporate merger is prosecuted for bigamy or polygamy, or gay marriage. I mean, there is so many ways to demonstrate the absurdity of Corporate Personhood. It's almost unnecessary, except for the fact that it is law.
It's not law. I mean, it's not law. Congress never passed the law granting corporate personhood. A person never signed the law granting corporate personhood.

Ron: What year is that again?
Thom: 1887. Grover Cleveland's State of the Union Address. President Grover Cleveland. The only Democrat that served in the entire last half of the 19 th century.
