Madison and Dane County, Wisconsin voters reject corporate personhood and "money as speech"

A resolution and ballot question establishing that corporations are not people and money isn't speech was approved by 84% of voters in Madison, Wisconsin, and 78% of voters in surrounding Dane County. South Central Wisconsin Move to Amend organized to get the resolution and question on the ballots and get it passed.

The Madison resolution states: "RESOLVED, the City of Madison, Wisconsin, calls for reclaiming democracy from the corrupting effects of undue corporate influence by amending the United States Constitution to establish that: 1. Only human beings, not corporations, are entitled to constitutional rights, and 2. Money is not speech, and therefore regulating political
contributions and spending is not equivalent to limiting political speech."

Dane County voted on a question asking: "Should the US Constitution be amended to establish that regulating political contributions and spending is not equivalent to limiting freedom of speech, by stating that only human beings, not corporations, are entitled to constitutional rights?"

Congratulations to South Central Wisconsin Move to Amend and their supporters at the ballot box.
