And yet there are limits to the right of assembly. There is no right to assembly on private property.

Corporate entities have even more specific rules to follow than assembly. Persons employed by a corporate entity must receive compensation that is at or above minimum wage. Safety and sanitation requirements must be met.

I'm not in any way a financial specialist, but I'm not sure what the difference would be constitutionally between tax code requirements already placed on corporate entities and an additional requirement to 'make available publicly the amount of donations given as campaign contributions', or above that, anyone who has given a campaign contribution over a certain dollar figure, could be listed somewhere on a government website.

I'm interested in government transparency and would like to understand downsides to the right to assembly when dealing with limiting rights to a corporate entity.

Lost my first draft so I might have missed a point or two.

Lastly, pork is far from the 'other white meat'. Compared to chicken or turkey its incredibly unhealthy.

From the couple of searches I did, pork is (recently at least) very close to chicken and also has other nutrients in addition:

FOR YEARS CHICKEN has been the white meat preferred by Americans--and for good reason: It's naturally low in fat, fairly tasty (what doesn't it taste like?) and a good source of vitamins and minerals. But a study by Duke University showed that lean pork could be just as effective as chicken in helping to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol--that's the bad stuff, y'all.

How exactly does pork hold its own on the pollo grounds? Mainly because one-third of its saturated fat comes from stearic acid, which does not contribute to increased bad cholesterol levels. But pork is also low in sodium and a good source of potassium, iron, magnesium, zinc, riboflavin, and vitamins B12 and B6.

Pork also packs a significant amount of nutrients in every lean portion. A 3-ounce serving of pork tenderloin is an "excellent" source of protein, thiamin, vitamin B6, phosphorus and niacin, and a "good" source of riboflavin, potassium and zinc, yet contributes only 6 percent of the calories to a 2,000-calorie diet.
