Human Amendment

Let's write to Congress (www.congress.org)!

Dear Representative:
It is time for a new Amendment to the Constitution. It would seem to be self-evident but man is inclined to be blinded by self-interest and greed. The struggle to survive, be successful, and even fulfilled in this country has gone from families working their family farms/businesses and socializing in small towns, to large farms/businesses supporting cities, to monopolized, commercial farms/businesses contracting to work for large corporations with global markets. We have gone from a country of personally accountable sole proprietors and family businesses to small commercial businesses to large, international corporate entities. Corporations have promised society anonymous jobs on a large scale at the expense of personal freedom, identity, and responsibility. Our laws have followed the path of big business, and the rights of corporations to make profits are legally held as equal to those of the rights of the individual effected by corporate business profits and at the expense of the individual. Every individual's life is effected and at risk of being sacrificed for the profit of big business because corporations (and their "right" to make profits) are legally considered entities equal to an individual. This country needs a new Amendment to the Constitution that establishes the legal foundation that human welfare, well-being, liberty, and health supersede the right to make financial profits and gain and that provides for a swift and just enforcement of individual rights over those of business rights, even that of international corporations. Please help make that happen.

Thank you,
