To be introduced by Chris Taylor in the Assembly and Dave Hansen in the Senate:
“The U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions in Citizens United and related cases allow unlimited spending to influence local, state, and federal elections. To allow all Americans to have an equal say in our democracy, shall Wisconsin’s congressional delegation support, and the Wisconsin legislature ratify, an amendment to the U.S. Constitution stating:
1.Only human beings—not corporations, unions, nonprofit organizations, or similar associations—are endowed with constitutional rights, and
2.Money is not speech, and therefore limiting political contributions and spending is not equivalent to restricting political speech.
