Corporations are not people.

 

 

David Cobb, 2004 Green Party candidate for President, is one of the leaders of Move To Amend which supports the banning of corporate personhood. Why is this a problem? Corporations, through laws and court decisions, have gathered more and more "rights" that were previously only reserved for human citizens. Now, through their lavish funding of elected officials, corporate "rights" are trumping the rights of individuals and their communities.

Listen in as David Cobb talks about this important issue, and what you can do in your community.
