Move to Amend is coming to Texas in October and we need your help!


 

 

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 Texas from October 2-10 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.

David Cobb is 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!

 

 

“Corporate Personhood” is the court-created doctrine that gives corporations constitutional rights intended for human beings. “Corporate personhood is not an inconsequential legal technicality. The Supreme Court ruled that a corporation was a ‘legal person’ with 14th Amendment protections before they granted full personhood to African-Americans, immigrants, natives, or women”, says Cobb.

Move to Amend is a  coalition of over 132,000 people and organizations whose goal is to  amend the United States Constitution to end corporate rule and legalize  democracy.

David is available for events in these places and tentative dates if we can find folks on the ground who will help us out:
