Corporations lobby under the 'People's Right' to petition government.  That is OUR Right and the corporation is not a person therefore 'it' does not have a right to lobby!  The People should not have to hire a lobbyist to have access to their elected public officials!  As one high-powered lobbyist said, "Unlike R.J. Reynolds, Pfizer, or Bank of America, the U.S. populace lacks the access to public officials required to further its legislative goals".   We MUST amend the Constitution!  End Corporate Personhood and put an end to the UNCONSTITUTIONAL CORPORATE LOBBYING!
