CELDF AND LOCAL DEMOCRACY WITH KAI HUSCHKE

Opposition to TPP in the wake of the disatrous consequences of other free trade agreements is beginning to create awareness of the degree to which corporations have come to dominate nations. Less well recognized is how much control corporations have over communities, largely thanks to a neolibreral bias in the interpretation of the Commerce Clause but exacerbated by the Supreme Court's invention of the concept of corporate constitutional "rights" (personhood). 

Kai Huschke of Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund joins us on this show to discuss what we can do to take back the commons by asserting the inherent sovereignty of communities.

This show will be rebroadcast on February 28 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST on the Star Com Radio network.

Take Back America for the People is an educational nonprofit whose mission is to explain the true costs of corporate control of the US government.
