Murray Hill Incorporated is Running for Congress...

...for the Best Democracy Money can Buy as a Republican in Maryland’s 8th Congressional District.
It may be political parody…but maybe not.

Until now, corporations only influenced politics with high-paid lobbyists and
backroom deals. But today, thanks to an enlightened supreme court, corporations now have all the rights the founding fathers meant for us.

That's why Murray Hill Incorporated is taking democracy's next step-- running for Congress. It is a vision for the future we can all be proud of. “It’s our democracy,” Murray Hill Inc. says, “We bought it, we paid for it, and we’re going to keep it.”

Vote Murray Hill Incorporated for Congress!



Murray Hill Inc. is believed to be the first “corporate person” to exercise its constitutional right to run for office. As Supreme Court observer Lyle Denniston wrote in his SCOTUSblog, “If anything, the decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission conferred new dignity on corporate “persons,” treating them — under the First Amendment free-speech clause — as the equal of human beings.”


The campaign’s designated human, Eric Hensal, will help the corporation conform to antiquated “human only” procedures and sign the necessary voter registration and candidacy paperwork. “We want to get in on the ground floor of the democracy market before the whole store is bought by China.”

Murray Hill Inc. promises an aggressive, historic campaign that “puts people second” or even third.

“The business of America is business, as we all know. But now, it’s the business of democracy too.”
