John, we’ve been spreading the word about our plan to make Citizens United irrelevant, and more people are tuning in than ever before!

Blogs and newspapers all over have been covering The Montana Plan, our legal strategy to use settled corporate case law to revoke political spending powers from corporations. When our plan works, it will effectively counter Citizens United, stop the “dark money” loophole in its tracks, and set a precedent for 49 other states to do the same.

Here’s what they’re saying:

📰 The Daily Montanan: “The idea…would be a state constitutional amendment that would simply prohibit corporations from making political campaign donations, using the state’s power to control how corporations operate in the state.”

📰 OpenSecrets: “The proposal takes direct aim at the landmark Citizens United ruling that opened the door to unlimited corporate involvement in elections and a flood of undisclosed political contributions.”

📰 Christian Science Monitor: “The ‘Montana Plan’ would effectively neuter Citizens United by changing corporate law, which is state — not federal — law. Proponents say it could be a blueprint for other states to regulate campaign finance. It would also apply to corporations that are registered in other states.”

Our plan to make Citizens United irrelevant is gaining traction, and it all starts with passing a ballot initiative here in Big Sky Country. The best part? Our boots are on the ground right now to let people know about our work.

We need help from people like you — who care deeply for the principles of democracy and want to see the end of undue corporate influence in our elections — to get this done. Once this initiative is officially on the ballot, we’re going to be knocking doors across Montana and getting out the vote.

Please, consider a recurring donation today to sustain our mission over the coming months:
