Pass the Sovereignty Amendment


Pass the Sovereignty Amendment
The Issue
To stop the Supreme Court's aggressive expansion of big money's influence in American politics and policy, including foreign special interests, please sign the petition to encourage lawmakers to adopt an amendment to the U.S. Constitution making it clear that only human beings are endowed with constitutional rights, and that spending money is not a form of speech.
Sovereignty Amendment
Section 1
In all instances wherein the words “person,” “persons,” and “people” appear in this Constitution, such words shall be exclusively construed to define living human beings, and shall not include artificial entities created by law.
Section 2
“Money” and “currency” are defined only as legal tender for the purpose of settling all debts, public and private. Neither Congress nor the Judiciary shall recognize the spending of money and currency as an expression of speech of any kind, or as an expression of any of the rights enumerated in this constitution.
Section 3
Congress shall have power to enforce this article and to regulate federal elections by appropriate legislation. The several states shall have power to enforce this article and to regulate state elections by appropriate legislation.
