A corporation is not a person until Texas executes one… so what did Texas do.. well Texas went ahead and executed one. Actually Occupy Austin did this weekend, as part of their rally to fight corporate personhood and expose the corruption of the big bail out banks. Occupy Austin’s Bank Action team and Austin Art Liberation Front combined forces to march against the bail out banks, have a mock trial of bank CEO’s, and ultimately stage an execution of a corporation.

Nicely Done Texas
James,
Thanks…caveat however.
The title indicates execution of a corporation which is a misnomer. The execution was of the concept of a corporation as a person.
The “straw-man” in this case was created and named “C.P. Hood”, (Corporate Personhood). The execution of this “straw-man” was the execution of a redundant concept not of a person, persons, or persons of a corporation, or of a particular corporation.

This is time for the resistance to show others the power that America has as a person. No one is weak and time is never bleak. I am always on a positive mind and standpoint and I believe that is a start to execute on spreading the word.
