Here’s what one blogger wrote about the speech on the Kansas City Food Circle Blog.
“[Paul] began by giving the most clear and succinct explanations of energy security, climate disruption, and economic disparities we ever heard. And if that wasn’t enough, he further explained the historical step-by-step ascendancy of “corporate personhood”, all entirely endowed by decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, culminating last January with Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Cienfuegos’ conclusion is that we can achieve a sustainable society, but only if we abandon our fragmented single-issue organizing, and challenge corporate constitutional “rights” head on. His data and logic are impeccable, and his organizing principles are compelling. A must-not-miss talk.”
