We the People, Not We the Corporations
David Cobb, National Projects Director, Democracy UnLimited
"We the People, Not We the Corporations"
David Cobb is National Projects Director of Democracy Unlimited [and an official spokesperson for Move to Amend]. He is a lawyer and political activist. David has sued corporate polluters, lobbied elected officials, run for political office himself, and has been arrested for non-violent civil disobedience. He truly believes we must use ALL the tools in the toolbox to effect the systemic social change we so desperately need.
David was born in San Leon, Texas and worked as a laborer before going to college. He graduated from the University of Houston Law School in 1993 and maintained a successful private law practice in Houston for several years before devoting himself to full time activism to achieve real democracy in the United States.
In 2002 David ran for Attorney General of Texas, pledging to use the office to revoke the charters of corporations that repeatedly violate health, safety and environmental laws. He did not win the office, but the Green Party of Texas grew dramatically during his campaign from four local chapters to twenty-six. In 2004, he ran for President of the United States on the Green Party ticket and successfully campaigned for the Ohio recount." <http://movetoamend.org/spokespeople>
He is also a Principal with Program on Corporations Law and Democracy<http://www.poclad.org/>
