Two Great Referenda
by Michael Weissman and move to amend advocates
There’s way too much money in politics. The airwaves are getting crammed with 
low-information attack ads. Ordinary people hardly ever have political 
conversations with anyone with very different views anymore. 
Just about everybody agrees with those points, but many figure there’s nothing 
you can do about them. This November in Champaign and Urbana, we do get to do 
something. There should be two referenda on the ballot, one in both towns and 
the other in Urbana (maybe Champaign too, stay tuned) one aimed at curbing the 
role of big money and the other at enhancing the voice of ordinary citizens. 
These referenda got on the ballot by votes at township meetings. We hope this 
short article will help introduce the referenda and get some discussion going. 
There are bound to be questions and arguments, so we expect to follow up with a 
more detailed article as those develop.
Support the Move To Amend, which will allow us to restore some of the laws 
limiting big $ in politics. In 2010 the Supreme Court threw out almost all laws 
limiting corporate $ in politics. . . . .
