PeopleFirst!Maine is a loose alliance of Maine citizens and groups from around the state developing a program to challenge corporate power in Maine - to return that power over our lives to the people of Maine.

Corporations are not people. If you cut them, they do not bleed. Corporations are very powerful tools and it is our aim to return them to that status and to refuse to subject ourselves to their control over our lives, liberties and happiness.

By what authority?

• Just how are big boxes good for local communities?
• Why won't supermarkets carry Maine grown food?
• Why do half the trucks on the turnpike carry food into Maine?
• Why do so many of the rest import trash?
• Why does Nestle get to profit by selling our water?
• How is it that business controls our media and electoral process?
• Why is a lame press more profitable than a real press?
• Why do big, out-of-state business get huge taxpayer subsidies? (BETR)
• How it is our governor can propose requiring citizens to purchase corporate health insurance?
• Why are ski tickets not taxed?
• Why is more mercury in the environment good for Maine?
