 CONVERSATION WITH DAVID COBB, 
 2004 Green Party Presidential Nominee,speaking on 
 Challenging Corporate Personhood 
 JOIN US AT THE PEACE CENTER POTLUCK 
 Potluck and socializing begins at 12:00 Noon 
 On Saturday, May 22, David Cobb, 2004 Green Party nominee for President of the United States, will talk about Challenging Corporate Personhood at the Peace Center Potluck.  Cobb served as the General Counsel for the Green Party before declaring his candidacy in 2003. His entire legal career has been dedicated to challenging illegitimate corporate power and to creating an active democracy movement in the United States. 
 On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons, entitled by the U.S. Constitution to buy elections and run our government. Human beings are people; corporations are legal fictions. The Supreme Court is misguided in principle, and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule.  Cobb and Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County have launched a website,http://movetoamend.org/, to promote amending the Constitution to strip corporations of their illegitimate claim to personhood.  The petition has been signed by 80,000 people. 
 Please bring a potluck item to share plus something for Monument Crisis Center - cereal, canned and dry goods; toddler size diapers; shampoo, soap, toothbrush & toothpaste.
