the new york times is out with a new story today on wpp - a london-based corporation that is buying up most of the big lobbying shops here in washington dc the times refers to the company as a quotconsolidating force at work in the influence-peddling industryquot wpp is a 72 billion dollar foreign corporation - running more than 150 public relations advertising and lobbying companies employing nearly 160000 people and k street is getting devoured by wpp - as more and more lobbying boutiques join up with the massive one-stop shop of influence as the times writes quotwpp has become in effect a special interest mega-firm with offerings for conservatives and liberals environmentalists and polluters gun lovers and gun haters tea party die-hards and public sector unions old guard media and their high tech competitors - the entire gamut from left to right top to bottomquot so if you039re a texas energy baron - and you want to blow up epa regulations on toxic coal ash - then reach out to wpp - where you039ll have first access to their public relations team to promote your corporation and give it a good name in the community second access to their advertising team to run smears against the epa and quotjob-killingquot regulations and third access to a lobbyist to whip up support for your anti-epa agenda on capitol hill mitt romney039s bain capital did just that in 2011 - giving wpp 320000 to monitor quottax reform developmentquot and here039s what039s most troubling - wpp runs operations in 107 different nations including the united states - it039s like an unofficial branch of government that knows no national boundaries this is a libertarian039s wet-dream - a one-world corporate government that answers to profits instead of principles and it shows that those of us who want restore true democracy - represented by quotwe the peoplequot and not corporations - still have a lot of work to left to do throughout history - democratic governments have always been a society039s best defense against massive wealth and corporate power but now that democracy is being privatized and monopolized it039s increasingly going to the highest bidder while wpp can run these operations in numerous countries the us is particularly vulnerable because our supreme court hatched this bizarre idea that money isn039t property like common sense would tell us but that it039s actually a form of speech which the first amendment says can039t be regulated because of this supreme court-created doctrine - which no president and no congress has ever advocated - in fact many have pushed back against it - because of this wpp and other big corporations can essentially buy the laws they want this is not democracy in action - it039s the death of democracy at the hand of big corporations like bain financial and jp morgan chase we need our lawmakers to ban the practice of corporations writing laws giving those laws to legislators along with big campaign checks and running massive advertising and pr campaigns to ensure public acceptance of those laws but for now it039s illegal for our legislators to enact such a ban because the supreme court says they039d be trampling the free speech rights - the use of money - of the corporations the supreme court recognizes as quotpeoplequot it039s time to put an end to the subversion of democracy in america by a british corporation but before that can be done we need to stop the supreme court from pushing their bizarre doctrine that corporations are people and money is speech for that go to movetoamendorg and join in the movement to amend the constitution to end this corruption of democracy by the supreme court
