Thanks, United States Supreme Court majority in Citizen’s United v. FEC….

Now that the Supreme Court has ruled that corporations are entitled to the same free speech and political rights as American citizens, Murray Hill, Inc., a public relations and advertising firm in Maryland has announced that it intends to run for Congress in Maryland’s 8th Congressional district. In an undated press release posted on the company’s Web site, Murray Hill says, “Until now, corporate interests had to rely on campaign contributions and influence-peddling to achieve their goals in Washington. But thanks to an enlightened Supreme Court, now we can eliminate the middle-man and run for office ourselves.” Murray Hill states that it plans on spending “top dollar” to protect its investment in government, adding, “We bought it, we paid for it, and we’re going to keep it.”

Guess what? They’re running as Republicans as well.
