Shall the state (senator/representative) from this district be instructed to vote in favor of a resolution calling upon Congress to propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution affirming that (1) corporations are not entitled to the constitutional rights of human beings, and (2) both Congress and the States may place limits on political contributions and political spending?
Why is this important?
To give powers back to Congress and the States that have been arrogated by the Supreme Court may require a 28th Amendment to the Constitution. The text above will be on the ballot in November across Massachusetts, and it is offered as a model for other states and municipalities to encourage others to become active in protecting our democracy from domination by big money and big corporations.
