David Cobb - Part 1 - Eliminate Corporate Personhood

David Cobb, former Green Party presidential candidate, talks with host David Delk about eliminating corporate personhood. David Cobb is the chief organizer and spokesperson for Move To Amend - MoveToAmend.org. David Cobb illustrates 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.

In this episode, we consider the Supreme Court's role in promoting the idea that corporations are people with rights, instead of responsibilities; discuss how we start a democracy movement in the US and why we need one. David Cobb advocates for a series of Democracy amendments so that our democracy is not used against us. He outlines the main features of what a democracy movement would include: Public funding of all elections; end use of war as a foreign policy tool; wean ourselves off of fossil fuels; stop US participation in IMF/WTO, World Bank; rid ourselves of the Federal Reserve Bank; create state banks and have health care be a human right, not a profit center.
