Move to Amend: End Corporate Rule. Legalize Democracy.
On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons, entitled by the U.S. Constitution to buy elections and run our government. Human beings are people; corporations are legal fictions.
We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United and other related cases, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
The Supreme Court is misguided in principle, and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule.
We Move to Amend.
". . . corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. Corporations help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings, to be sure, and their 'personhood' often serves as a useful legal fiction. But they are not themselves members of “We the People” by whom and for whom our Constitution was established."
~Supreme Court Justice Stevens, January 2010

Outside groups spent a record $1.6 billion in the 2022 midterms. Each election cycle since 2010 continues the upward trend. Most of that funding has little-to-no transparency. The total cost of the state and federal midterm elections are projected to exceed $16.7 billion.
Wealthy donors, corporations, and special interest groups have long influenced elections. Citizens United just legalized it.
Move to Amend was formed in direct response to the Court’s 2010 decision.
We are a coalition hundreds of thousands strong. We are committed to:
-
-
Social and economic justice
-
Ending corporate rule, the corrupting influence of big money in elections and
-
Building a vibrant democracy that is genuinely accountable to the people, not corporate interests.
-
We’ll discuss our work in the Lone Star State, ways to get involved, and an upcoming training on meeting with your U.S. Representatives.
We hope to see you there!

Halloween is over but the connections between inflation & corporations remain haunting
Continue reading →There’s no single cause of inflation. Among the past and current factors are the pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and the war in Ukraine.

What to expect from the U.S. Supreme Court and Move to Amend
Continue reading →The 2022-23 Supreme Court term began on October 3.
Since John Roberts became Chief Justice in 2005, the “Roberts Court” has made numerous decisions undermining democracy and basic rights on voting, partisan gerrymandering and campaign finance, reversing decades of work by prior Courts. This includes Citizens United v. FEC in 2010.
