The recent U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v. FEC opened the floodgates to unlimited corporate spending on elections.
David Cobb, an attorney and organizer for the Move to Amend coalition, will be touring California in February and March to help local residents understand the history behind the recent decision and how they can work to abolish "Corporate Personhood" and establish a government of, by, and for the people by joining the Move to Amend campaign. "Corporate Personhood" is the court-created doctrine that gives corporations constitutional rights intended for human beings.
David Cobb is a fiery speaker and former Green Party presidential candidate. His talk, "Creating Democracy & Challenging Corporate Rule," is part history lesson and part heart-felt call-to-action! Move to Amend (http://movetoamend.org) is a coalition of over 155,000 people and organizations whose goal is to amend the United States Constitution to end corporate rule and legalize democracy.
