"DNC" and "CPUSA" are now completely interchangeable.

If too many corporations are in Georgia, the state may tip over!

Fine, if it included unions, and groups like the Sierra Club too.

Here's something that the fools promoting this forget: most organization that promote one thing or another are legally organized and recognized as "corporations". Just check their web sites to see their "Articles of Incorporation".
