The Amendment, formally introduced on April 5 with 50 co-sponsors, calls for an end to the anti-democratic constitutional doctrines that political money equals free speech and corporations are persons with many rights that were solely intended for human beings. Money as speech and corporate personhood make it virtually impossible for communities to protect themselves from corporations preempting locally passed laws and for people without money to have their voices heard and needs met. Please sign on as a cosponsor HJR 48 to ensure that the rights and needs of human beings and communities come first.

Corporations are not people and money is not speech. Yet corporations and the rich have hijacked Constitutional Amendments to to ensure these rights are more important than than the rights of people and communities to promote health, safety and welfare. Money is property, not speech. And corporations are not people, and should not have the inalienable Constitutional Rights intended for individual human beings, like you and me. Please become a cosponsor of the We the People Amendment (HJR 48), which already has 50 cosponsors.
