Realistic way to end corporate personhood

After a talk with my lawyer friend, I was reminded of something.

Anything not covered in the Constitution or it's amendments is a subject to be covered by the states.

This site has the full text of the Constitution and the amendments in HTML, if you like, go there and search the words Company, Corporation and Corporations (control F). There will be no results.
Constitution of the United States - Official

Therefore, it has never been written into the constitution that Corporations have ANY rights. This means that your state government representatives can write a new state law stating Corporations are not persons, therefore cannot be afforded the rights of natural born persons under the US Constitution.

Call them and write to them telling them you want a law stating corporations are not persons.

If you need help locating your local state government rep, please feel free to contact me and I will help you. At this level, a phone call will do just fine. However I hope you will write a letter as well. Look at my thread in "off topic" and there is another idea for you to consider as well.
