Corporate Personhood presentation by David Cobb
|
Who really controls the Government?
Are we still a Democracy?
How did we get here?
How can we take back our rights?
Get some answers!!!
Join us for a community dialogue about the movement to
Declare Independence from Corporate Rule
David Cobb, national spokesperson for Move to Amend, will be in Austin Aug 13, to lead a community dialogue about this growing movement for democracy in the United States. Unelected and unaccountable corporations have hijacked our government, and there is a national coalition of diverse public-interest, community, and business organizations that has issued a bold call to amend the U.S. Constitution to restore the power of people over corporations.
Suggested donation of $10 mas o menos/more or less.
(But no one will be turned away for lack of cash!)

David Cobb was the Green Party nominee for President of the United States in 2004, and served as the General Counsel for the national Green Party from its creation until 2003 when he launched his campaign. He has dedicated his legal career to challenging illegitimate corporate power and to making the promise of democracy a reality.
In 2002 he ran for state Attorney General in Texas, pledging to revoke the charters of corporations that repeatedly break heath, safety, and environmental laws.
David is a principal with the Program on Corporations Law & Democracy and Campaigns Director for Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County. He is also a national spokesperson for Move To Amend, which is a coalition of national and grassroots groups calling to amend the Constitution to abolish the legal doctrine that allows corporations to claim constitutional rights.
Be sure to Sign the Motion at Move To Amend
Over 80,000 people have already signed the online petition supporting a constitutional amendment. |

“We as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing oriented” society to a “person oriented” society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”
