New World Order Title: Supreme Court Ruling Spurs Corporation Run for Congress Supreme Court Ruling Spurs Corporation Run for Congress First Test of Corporate Personhood In Politics Following the recent Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission to allow unlimited corporate funding of federal campaigns, Murray Hill Inc. today announced it was filing to run for U.S. Congress and released its first campaign video on www.youtube.com/user/murrayhillcongress Until now, Murray Hill Inc. said in a statement, corporate interests had to rely on campaign contributions and influence peddling to achieve their goals in Washington. But thanks to an enlightened Supreme Court, now we can eliminate the middle-man and run for office ourselves. Murray Hill Inc. is believed to be the first corporate person to exercise its constitutional right to run for office. As Supreme Court observer Lyle Denniston wrote in his SCOTUSblog, If anything, the decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission conferred new dignity on corporate persons, treating them under the First Amendment free-speech clause as the equal of human beings. Murray Hill Inc. agrees. The strength of America, Murray Hill Inc. says, is in the boardrooms, country clubs and Lear jets of Americas great corporations. Were saying to Wal-Mart, AIG and Pfizer, if not you, who? If not now, when? Murray Hill Inc. plans on spending top dollar to protect its investment. Its our democracy, Murray Hill Inc. says, We bought it, we paid for it, and were going to keep it. Murray Hill Inc., a diversifying corporation in the Washington, D.C. area, has long held an interest in politics and sees corporate candidacy as an emerging new market. The campaigns designated human, Eric Hensal, will help the corporation conform to antiquated human only procedures and sign the necessary voter registration and candidacy paperwork. Hensal is excited by this new opportunity. We want to get in on the ground floor of the democracy market before the whole store is bought by China. Murray Hill Inc. plans on filing to run in the Republican primary in Marylands 8th Congressional District. Campaign Manager William Klein promises an aggressive, historic campaign that puts people second or even third. The business of America is business, as we all know, Klein says. But now, its the business of democracy too. Klein plans to use automated robo-calls, Astroturf lobbying and computer-generated avatars to get out the vote. Murray Hill Inc. is launching the campaign with a website, Facebook page and YouTube video.
