Every US citizen has a vote, but they also have a method of voting with their dollars and this includes campaign contributions. Unfortunately, our vote doesn’t count for much these days.

Citizens United v. FEC (2010) significantly diluted the influence of individual citizens by allowing corporations, unions, and special interests to spend unlimited, often undisclosed ("dark money") to fund and influence elections.
The “We the People Amendment” (H.J.Res.54) proposes Citizens United be reversed through a constitutional amendment. Unfortunately, the same entities unfairly influencing our elections seek to block this legislation. But there is a solution!
An initiative dubbed “The Montana Plan” would create a new Montana law to prohibit corporations — known in law as “artificial persons” — from spending money on political candidates or ballot issues. This is a blueprint every state should follow.
This plan defines “election activity” and “ballot-issue activity”, then revokes all previously granted powers to entities that are not people, regrants to these entities only the rights necessary to conduct business and excludes political spending entirely.
If you do not support super PACs, unions, corporations and well funded individuals contributing to campaigns in a way that dilutes the voices of everyday citizens, please take action now.
