Portland Moves to Ban Corporate Personhood
Pointer Progressives
Casey James"The Occupy Portland Solutions Committee and the Community Rights Action Group (CRAG) convinced Portland City Council to pass a unanimous resolution overturning Citizens United and all corporate constitutional rights including personhood. There will be a referendum in November for a city-wide vote to completely ban corporate personhood. According to local activist, metaphysician, and self-described philosopher queen, Stephen Quirke, the next step will be passing a binding ordinance, or a community Bill of Rights, that would give the city control over its local ecosystem and take away corporate authority over depleting the natural environment. Spokane almost passed a similar law last November which included a right to nature, wherein the Spokane River had a right to thrive and the life dwelling in the habitat had a right to the water."

Some think the company was set up just to let Johnson make the run against Feingold (long term planning like the racketeering complaint I filed). We discovered his father-in-law and brother-in-law's company in MN Bemis has connections to Rio Tinte, which owns Kennicutt, which did Flambeau. All roads lead to mining.
