Seeing how she's going to be our next President doesn't look like much will change in that regard.

Well, lobbying is a form of petitioning the government. That is a protected right of the people under the Constitution.
If you don't want special interests to control the government, you will have to elect a government that can control itself.
And the best framework for that is the Constitution.

The lobbies that are now operating in this country go far, far beyond the constitutional guarantee of petitioning the government in my opinion. Yes, it is a gray area, but this is legal bribery. Modern lobbies are not really "the people" petitioning the government. Wouldn't you agree?
I think you need public financing of campaigns, if you want the excessive influence of special interest groups removed from the equation.

It is a petition, it's just written big stacks 'o money.

corporations need to lose their status as individuals.
A corporation cannot vote so why is it considered an individual ?
Or lets at least hold corporations to a 16 yr old age to vote
answer: they can buy judges.
Corporate personhood is one of the biggest frauds to be perpetrated on this country in a long ass time. I'll agree with you there.
On a side not, why not take the next 35 or so of your posts, and condense them into one? That way, you'll appear to have more thought provoking beliefs. Just a thought

Corporations should more appropriately be defined as a contract. But there is no "right to contract" in the constitution. This whole "personhood" thing is a just a backhanded way of getting around that.
