I hope that one of the SPECIFIC OBJECTS FOR PROTEST resolves down to Corp Campaign Contributions and lobbying in Washington. This is the mechanism by which the corporate machine arrange sthe system for their own anti-human and anti-earth agenda.

The people need the right to vote for revoking corporation charters if the corporation acts agents the public interest.

Campaign finance reform has been the front door to stopping our public offices from being perpetually "For-Sale-By-Incumbent". Congress keeps that door locked and guarded.

Back door: New laws capping contributions from corporations, corporate key execs, and by proxy: 1000 employees each contribbing just under the limit to fly under the radar, and getting bonused the same amaount from the boss. Felony statutes will put an end to it.

If we cannot stop our statesmen {how long's it been since we had a statesman instead of a politician)}} from grabbing big sweaty wads of money, we can smack down the sweaty hands holding it out to them.

Oh- and convicted felons under these statutes should be made to forfeit personal assets to the budgets of the offices of oversight for a term expiring in 7 years, to turbocharge the rate at which these corrupt people are brought to heel.
