Join the fight against Citizens United and reverse the growing influence of big money in politics. Because the U.S. Congress has been unable to act, state legislatures across the country are taking action under Article V of the US Constitution. We are supporting legislation in the 2018 Maryland General Assembly to affirm that Congress and the states may regulate raising and spending money in elections.

Join the fight against Citizens United and reverse the growing influence of big money in politics. Because the U.S. Congress has been unable to act, state legislatures across the country are taking action under Article V of the US Constitution. We are supporting legislation in the 2018 Maryland General Assembly to affirm that Congress and the states may regulate raising and spending money in elections.

The Democracy Amendment Resolution (HJ 11) was passed by the House of Delegates on March 15, 2018, so we are counting on the Senate to finish the job before the legislative session ends on April 9. 

When you sign this petition, an email will be sent to the state senator from your specific Maryland voting district asking them to support  the Democracy Amendment Resolution in the 2018 session of the Maryland General Assembly .  This resolution strengthens the power of individual citizens and reduces the disproportionate influence of money in the political process at all levels of government. With your support, we have an excellent chance of passing this legislation in the 2018 Maryland General Assembly.

Money Out - Voters In

It's especially important that your state senator in Annapolis knows you want to get big money out of political campaigns now that HJ 11 has been passed by the House of Delegates in a bipartisan vote of 94-42.  If the Senate passes this bill before the legislative session ends, we will take a significant step forward in the 2018 Maryland General Assembly.  Sign this petition to help make Maryland the sixth state calling for an amendment to the US Constitution so that all citizens have equal access to the ballot and an equal say in governance.
