On December 6th, 2011, Los Angeles became the first major U.S. city to call for an amendment reserving Constitutional rights solely for living human beings.

Why are we here today?

Why are we all filling the chambers?

Corporations are not people, money is not free speech.

Corporations do not breathe, corporations do not have children.

Corporations do pretend to be people for the same reason

as the wolf dresses up as a sheep.

Corporations are not human beings.

and we are in these conditions because we have failed to act as human beings.

An affirmative vote today in Los Angeles,

the first major city in the United States

to call for a constitutional amendment

to ensure that only human beings and not corporations

are in ? with constitutional rights.

We are willing to do the work that it's going to take

to amend our constitution to clearly establish

that only human beings are entitled to constitutional rights.

Politicians of all stripes are going to have to make a choice

where they are going to stand: are you going to be with us,

or you are going to be shell for corporate personhood?

Time to make your vote!

[applause]

Every struggle to mend the Constitution began

as just a group of regular americans

who wanted to down slavery, thought that women should vote

these are how american amendments moved forward.
