FAIR ELECTION AMENDMENT - Overturn Citizens United

To Congress: We demand public financing of political campaigns, term limits, national referendums, direct election of federal judges and the US Attorney.

Why is this important?

Billions of dollars by large corporate interests and billionaires have given us a dysfunctional democracy. Special interest groups are buying our elections and eroding away our liberties. We must restore our Republic.

Draft Fair Election Amendment

1. All national elections will be publicly funded. The Federal Election Commission with the approval of the President will determine the dollar amounts allocated for the Presidential, U.S. Representative, U.S. Senate, and Federal Court Judge seats. Congress cannot impose a dollar limitation of raised funds to be eligible for public financing; candidate raised funds cannot exceed per election $1500 Individual/$2500 Corporate/$5000 Political Organizations.*

2. U.S. Federal Judges will be elected for a term of 6 years in the General Election. Political parties may run their candidates in Primary Elections. The U.S. Court of Federal Claims will determine and announce federal bench vacancies.

3. U.S. Senators will be elected for a six year term not to exceed two terms.

4. U.S. Representatives will be elected for a four year term not to exceed two terms.

5. The U.S. Attorney General will be elected for a four year term not to exceed two terms.

6. All voting machines must have a paper back-up, to assure validity and integrity of Elections, when utilizing electronic voting machines.

7. The right of the people to present National Referendums for General Election votes will not be infringed upon by Congress or any government body. National Referendums can repeal any law, Executive Order, or Supreme Court ruling (that impacts the people outside of the court case).

8. The citizens may petition for a Recall Election to remove any federal elected officeholder.

9. The tabulation of all elections must be accomplished under U.S. Jurisdiction.”
