During August, David Cobb, national spokesperson for the movement to Declare Independence from Corporate Rule, will visit several Texas cities to lead a community dialogue about this growing movement for democracy in the United States. He will illustrate how unelected and unaccountable corporations have hijacked our government and describe the national coalition of diverse public interest, community, and business organizations which has issued a bold call to amend the U.S. Constitution to restore the power of people over corporations. At most venues the dialogue will begin at 7 pm and the suggested donations for the events will be $10. See the calendar for specific sites and schedules.

Cobb Bio

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. His entire legal career has been dedicated 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 health, safety and environmental laws.

He is a national spokesperson for MoveToAmend 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.
