An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Support We the People Amendment to curb corporate influence

25 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The unprecedented influence of corporate money in our political system has severely undermined the principles of a true democracy. It is imperative that we take decisive action to restore the power to the people and ensure that our elected representatives are accountable to their constituents, not special interests or deep-pocketed donors. HJR54, the We the People Amendment, presents a crucial opportunity to rectify the disastrous Citizens United decision, which granted corporations the same free speech rights as individuals and enabled the unrestrained flow of corporate funds into elections. This amendment reaffirms the fundamental truth that corporations are not people and money is not speech. By explicitly denying Constitutional rights to artificial entities and reestablishing the authority of the government to regulate political contributions and expenditures, HJR54 aims to level the playing field and amplify the voices of ordinary citizens. The staggering increase in independent spending since Citizens United, often through untraceable dark money channels, has created an unacceptable imbalance of power that undermines the integrity of our democracy. I implore you to support this crucial legislation and join the fight to reclaim our political system from the grip of corporate interests. The American people deserve a government that truly represents their interests, not the highest bidder. HJR54 is a vital step towards restoring faith in our democratic institutions and ensuring that every citizen's voice carries equal weight. We cannot allow the corrosive influence of unlimited corporate spending to continue eroding the foundations of our Republic. It is time to put the power back into the hands of the people.
