Support a Constitutional Initiative to End Corporate Dark Money in Federal Elections Federal election laws should follow Montana's lead and adopt a constitutional initiative to end corporate and dark money in politics. Montana's Transparent Election Initiative, announced June 18 and headed to their 2026 ballot, offers a proven legal strategy that sidesteps Citizens United entirely. The approach is simple but powerful: instead of regulating corporate political spending, the federal government must decline to grant corporations the power to spend money in politics from the outset. This leverages two centuries of Supreme Court precedent establishing that corporations have only the powers states give them, and states may define or revoke those powers for any reason, the federal government must follow Montana's lead. This initiative would affect all corporations operating not only in Montana, but all corporations oppetating throughout the United States including foreign corporations and dark money groups organized under section 501(c) of the tax code. The federal government must exorcize its authority as Montana is exercising theirs. The Montana Plan has bipartisan backing from former Governor Marc Racicot, former RNC chairman, and former Governor Steve Bullock, along with support from Harvard, Yale, and NYU legal scholars. Montana's initiative text was published July 28, and their team is preparing to help other states adapt this approach. I've written to my Utah representatives and governor regarding this issue. I want the federal government to develop its own version of this constitutional initiative. Corporations should answer to We The People, not the other way around. Corporate and Dark Money must be removed from politics in such a way that it can never be allowed to buy government decision making again.
