Corporation Runs for Congress


The Murray Hill Corporation is taking their newly established Constitutional Rights one logical step forward and eliminating the middle man--Murray Hill Inc is running for Congress as Joke. At least I hope it is a joke. Tell me it is a joke, please!
And do we have to refer to this as the "Citizens United" case from now on? Or the "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission" case? That is too long, and "Citizens United Ruling" doesn't set the right tone. How about we call it the "Dread Corp Ruling"?


The Corporate Candidate have a press release and a video which must be seen.
“Until now,” Murray Hill Inc. said in a statement, “corporate interests had to rely on campaign contributions and influence peddling to achieve their goals in Washington. But thanks to an enlightened Supreme Court, now we can eliminate the middle-man and run for office ourselves.”
Murray Hill Inc. is believed to be the first “corporate person” to exercise its constitutional right to run for office. As Supreme Court observer Lyle Denniston wrote in his
SCOTUSblog, “If anything, the decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission conferred new dignity on corporate “persons,” treating them — under the First Amendment free-speech clause — as the equal of human beings.”
Murray Hill Inc. agrees. “The strength of America,” Murray Hill Inc. says, “is in the boardrooms, country clubs and Lear jets of America’s great corporations. We’re saying to Wal-Mart, AIG and Pfizer, if not you, who? If not now, when?”
Murray Hill Inc. plans on spending “top dollar” to protect its investment. “It’s our democracy,” Murray Hill Inc. says, “We bought it, we paid for it, and we’re going to keep it.”
