We, voters in the 6th Congressional District of Kentucky,
instruct Congressman Ben Chandler, to sponsor, on our
behalf, a House Resolution proposing a Constitutional amendment reversing the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision.
This resolution must include:
Section 1 [A corporation is not a person and
can be regulated]
The rights protected by the Constitution of the
United States are the rights of natural persons only.
Artificial entities, such as corporations, limited
liability companies, and other entities, established by
the laws of any State, the United States, or any foreign
state shall have no rights under this Constitution
and are subject to regulation by the People, through
Federal, State, or local law.
The privileges of artificial entities shall be
determined by the People, through Federal, State, or
local law, and shall not be construed to be inherent or
inalienable.
Section 2 [Money is not speech
and can be regulated]
Federal, State and local government shall regulate,
limit, or prohibit contributions and expenditures,
including a candidate’s own contributions and
expenditures, for the purpose of influencing in any way
the election of any candidate for public office or any
ballot measure.
Federal, State and local government shall require
that any permissible contributions and expenditures be
publicly disclosed.
The judiciary shall not construe the spending of
money to influence elections to be speech under the
First Amendment.
Section 3
Nothing contained in this amendment shall be
construed to abridge the freedom of the press.
