Communities in Support

Alongside hundreds of thousands of individuals have signed our Motion to Amend petition, there have been over 700 communities and states that have passed public resolutions, ordinances, and ballot initiatives supporting the We the People Amendment. Below is a list of resolutions that were passed by elected political bodies (i.e. state legislatures, or county/city/town/village councils), residents who voted at Town Hall meetings, or by voters following organized campaigns by Move to Amend supporters in Ohio.

Passing local resolutions in support of amending the constitution is a great way to educate the public and to send a strong signal to legislators that people care about these issues. Click here for information on how to organize a resolution campaign in your community!

Resolution Language

Call on Congress to pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution declaring that:

√ Only human beings, not corporations, are legal persons with Constitutional rights, and

√ Money is not equivalent to speech, and therefore regulating political contributions and spending does not equate to limiting political speech.

Additional provision inbBallot Initiatives

√ Annual or biennial city-sponsored public hearing on the impact of corporate personhood and money as speech on the community and its citizens.

More than 600 local, state, and national organizations have come forward to support the passage of the We the People Amendment (in Congress as House Joint Resolution 48). Below are the Ohio-based organizations that formally call on our federal representatives to pass the We the People Amendment, and our local and state representatives to enact resolutions and legislation to advance this effort.
