Let's redefine corporations to get money out of politics

Support Legislation to Revoke Corporate Election Spending Authority I'm asking you to support legislation that redefines corporate powers under state law to exclude election spending authority. This approach clarifies what state-created corporations are legally empowered to do. Almost two-thirds of Americans across party lines oppose Citizens United, yet corporate money keeps flooding our elections. Bills modeled on California's AB 1984 treat unauthorized election activity as ultra vires—beyond lawful corporate authority. Violations can result in loss of charter privileges like limited liability. Corporations are state-created entities. If we create them, we can define their scope. I'd like you to Co-sponsor or introduce similar legislation that revokes corporate election spending authority under state law.
