This guest editorial by Douglas Darrell of the National Community Rights Network (NCRN) appeared in The Laconia Daily Sun, July 9th, 2018.

Guest commentary by Community Rights US Media Team member Curt Hubatch: To build a movement to elevate Community Rights over corporate rights it will take thousands of letters like Douglas Darrell’s written and published weekly in community newspapers across the United States. We invite you to give it a read, look into the Community Rights strategy and movement, and use the gifts you’ve been given to build a system that will be more friendly human and nonhuman peoples.

Inalienable rights are the rights that all people are born with through the understanding God or our Creator endowed us with.

Corporation on the other hand is not a God given right but is man-made and it is unseemly to give the power of individual to a plural separate from the whole of individual citizens.
