Murray Hill Incorporated is Running for Congress
for the Best Democracy Money can Buy

Until now, corporations only influenced politics with high-paid lobbyists and
backroom deals. But today, thanks to an enlightened supreme court, corporations now have all the rights the founding fathers meant for us.

That's why Murray Hill Incorporated is taking democracy's next step-- running for Congress. It is a vision for the future we can all be proud of.

Vote Murray Hill Incorporated for Congress!
For the best democracy money can buy.

Is that real? that's a lot of effort for just satire. Please say it's real.

As far as I can tell, it is real. It appears to be essentially a challenge to the SCOTUS ruling - or a demonstration of the insanity of the ruling.

Excellent. Sometimes things have to just get all the way insane before they get better.

Assuming the insanity will correct itself seems very optimistic.

We need Saudi Arabia Incorporated to run for Congress! That would really get some attention! :D

If the corporation originates in the USA, that should get around the US citizen rule for sitting in Congress.
