Overturn Citizens United: Get corporate money out of politics
By Jonathan Tong (Contact)
To be delivered to: Jay Inslee, Rob McKenna, The Washington State House, The Washington State Senate, and Governor Jay Inslee
Petition Statement
Get the Washington State Legislature to pass a resolution during the 2013 session calling on the U.S. Congress to pass a constitutional amendment that in effect reverses the 2010 Supreme Court's Citizens United decision by clarifying that:
1. Only human beings, not corporations, are persons under the United States Constitution.
2. Money is not speech and the donation of money to a political campaign is not a form of constitutionally protected speech. Therefore regulating political contributions and spending is not equivalent to limiting political speech.
