	Takeover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A reverse takeover is a type of takeover where a public company acquires a private company of a higher value.
		Takeovers in the UK (meaning acquisitions of public companies only) are governed by the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, also known as the "City Code" or "Takeover Code".
		Critics often charge that large companies initiate takeovers in order to boost their reported revenue (sales to customers) without giving sufficient regard to profit, which generally takes a hit when a company is acquired because of all the associated costs.

	Interview: David Sirota: Hostile Takeover
		If the opposition party becomes part of the corporate consensus, in effect part of a hostile takeover, then you have an entire political system where ordinary people’s interests are not even being represented in the debate, much less in public policy.
		The premise is that the big money interests have performed a hostile takeover of our government to the point where business and government are literally one entity.
		That leads potentially to a very long-term, massive shift in our society – a shift in a bad direction, and one that we are living through now, with basically all of these indicators showing that the middle and working class in America are being absolutely crushed everywhere they turn.

	Save the Sierra Club from Hostile Takeover: Sacramento for Democracy
		Last year, Sierra Club members voted in record numbers to defeat a hostile takeover attempt by outside groups hoping to use the Club's democratic processes to push their own anti-immigration agenda.
		Groundswell Sierra, a network of Sierra Club members and former staff, asked us to tell the hundreds of thousands of Club members in the MoveOn community, many of whom are in the dark because by-laws keep Club staff from discussing this issue.
		But much of the impetus comes from long time, extreme-right immigration opponents who've adopted a strategy of "greenwashing" their arguments to gain mainstream support for denying immigrants basic human rights like health care or education.
