Voters in Wisconsin Call for a Constitutional Amendment! On April 5, 2011, voters in both Madison and Dane County, Wisconsin overwhelmingly approved resolutions to support a U.S. Constitutional Amendment to affirm that only human beings--not corporations--are persons entitled to constitutional protections and that money is not equivalent to speech. "Corporate Personhood" and "Money equals Speech" are two precedents upon which the Citizens United decision is based. Read about this remarkable advance in the Democracy Movement on the Move To Amend website.
