Married To Corporate America:

A New Political Experiment To Test the Limits of Corporate Personhood in America

Married To Corporate America is a new political/social experiment meant to shine a light on the bizarre idea of corporate personhood and to question its very validity. The primary question posed by this project is that if corporations are people then should they be allowed to legally marry. In the following video I invite any American corporation to propose for my hand in marriage by sending me an email at

marriedtocorporate@gmail.com 

It is my goal to become legal married to an American corporation sometime with in the coming year. Any corporation, large and small may apply. Here is the link to the video.

Among the excellent roster of speakers, Virginia Rasmussen, a member of POCLAD, offered a rare historical analysis of case law involving corporte personhood which dates back to the early 19th century.
