No. The Free Speech for People Amendment applies to corporate entities and has no application to voluntary associations and does not change constitutionally protected freedom of association. People are always free to associate with others to promote their speech or engage in political activity.

The Free Speech for People Amendment will do nothing to infringe freedom of speech or of the press. The First Amendment clearly prevents government suppression of “the press,” whether a corporation or not, and that is as it should be.

No. The Free Speech for People Amendment will preserve and protect free speech for everyone. Eliminating corporate money in politics or eliminating the ability of corporations to strike down laws that executives of a corporation may think limit corporate marketing campaigns will not effect the speech rights of a single person.

The Constitution itself defines how the people may amend it. Article V states:

The American people can and should overrule the Citizens United decision, and restore the First Amendment and fair elections to the people. The way to do that is by enacting and ratifying the 28th Amendment to the Constitution, which we call the Free Speech for People Amendment.

Isn’t amending the Constitution to change a Court decision an extreme step?

Whenever the American people have realized that our democracy is threatened, and voting and elections are no longer fair, we have always amended the Constitution to fix it.

Congress can begin to fix the decision by approving a Constitutional amendment proposal and sending it to the States for ratification.

The Free Speech for People Amendment will overrule the Citizens United v. FEC case and return the First Amendment to its longstanding purpose as a guarantee of the fullest rights of a free people and the press.
