Something that has been bugging me
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on January 21, 2010 in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that corporations have the same First Amendment rights as people, and that they can spend unlimited amounts of money on elections.
I don't think allowing corporations this unlimited spending is in our best interest.
One way to overturn this decision is through a constitutional amendment, and I would like to have a discussion about it at this years Town Meeting. I have a petition you can sign asking the select boards to place this topic on the agenda.
Click on your town below, print out the petition, sign it, and even ask others to sign it. Mail the signed petition to me by January 22 and I'll submit it to your town.
