Especially nice to see Advisory Non-Binding Question that Corporations are NOT people. Here's Urbana's (there's a similar one for Champaign). HUGE THANKS to whoever's hard work landed this on our ballot:
Amendment To The United States
Constitution
"Shall the City of Urbana have the
authority to propose an amendment to
the United States Constitution to
establish: "1) that a corporation does not
have the same rights as an actual
person, and 2) that money is not speech
and, therefore, regulating political
spending is not equivalent to limiting
political speech?"
"The U.S. Supreme Court held, in
"Citizens United v. FEC", that
corporations have the rights of real
human citizens and are entitled to spend
unlimited amounts of money in support of
political campaigns. To undue that
decision, the people of the Cunningham
Township support an Amendment to the
United States Constitution to establish
that: 1) A corporation does not have the
same rights as an actual person, and 2)
Money is not speech and, therefore,
regulating political spending is not
equivalent to limiting political speech. We
further request that our city, state and
federal representatives enact resolutions
and legislation to advance the two
positions proposed as part of the
Amendment, with reference to the need
for an Amendment."
