Move to Amend's 14th Anniversary

14 years ago today..."a group of twelve dedicated organizers sat together in a living room, watching the proceedings of the Citizens United vs. FEC case. The impact of this pivotal moment was crystal clear – it was time to take action. Not just to reverse the disastrous decision that unleashed untold amounts of dark money into our electoral system, but also to address the more fundamental issue of corporate personhood, a problem that has plagued our democracy since the 1800s.

On that fateful day, October 20, 2009, Move to Amend was born." 

Today is Move to Amend's 14th Anniversary! And, we want to thank you for sticking with us for 14 years -- building the movement for a Constitutional Amendment that would make clear that corporations are not people, and money is not free speech. And while there's still much work to be done, we are in it to win it!

The two reasons were to highlight what the Chamber represents and what the Chamber does.

End the Paralyses!

In the midst of political uncertainty and turmoil, our government has come to a standstill. The halls of the U.S. Capitol echo with silence, and it's not because of an unforeseen crisis, but rather a leadership crisis.

As we write to you today, there is no House Speaker to guide our legislative branch. This absence of leadership is a wake-up call, an urgent reminder that it's time for We the People to step up and demand the action we deserve.
