Corporations are NOT persons, they do not deserve First Amendment
protection of free speech because they fulfil none of the obligations of
citizenship.

In order for corporations to qualify for free speech protection they
would have to somehow be able to serve on juries, to serve in the armed
forces, to serve prison time for crimes (fat chance, there), and to vote
... just to name a very few.

Please DO NOT expand the ability of corporations to lie to us in order
to expand their profits. It is not for the public good, it is simply to
serve greed.
