I don't. Its giving freedom for people to act in concert, and work together for a common cause.

I'm surprised. Is that one of your natural rights or is it in the constitution? Or perhaps you would have it created by an activist judiciary? <g>

Tim;

This statement means corporations (or unions) have more rights than the individual. You as an individual can not possible compete with Exxon, for instance, as their money to spend on legislation is unlimited. Does that freedom of speech for corporations mean they can say anything they want short of slander? IOW, they wouldn't even have to tell the truth.
