Again, I’m not saying that her “intentions” are sound; what I am saying is that her reasoning on this issue might be.

Nothing prevents an individual employee/manager/officer/shareholder/director, or any group of them, from exercising any first amendment rights. But they are NOT the corporation. They simply aren’t. Period. The corporation is a state-created artificial person.

If that's the rationale, then it should be applied to ALL organizations equally, not just corporations.

Individuals may make donations by name, but no other organization. Unions? Out! PACs? Out! 503c's? Out! No contributions unless it's from a single individual.
