. Big money is corrupting our democracy

 

Sixteen states and 500 communities have already passed resolutions calling for a constitutional amendment that would limit big money in politics.  New Hampshire right now has an opportunity to take a stand by joining this movement to reclaim democracy.

 

We the people cannot directly propose an amendment to our Constitution, but we can send a message – to overturn Citizens United.

  

If we truly believe in Democracy, Citizens United must be overturned or the individual vote will have no effect shaping the direction of the country.  Voices of the common man/woman will not be heard due to the influence of money from special interest groups.  In a democracy, the size of your wallet should not determine the volume of your voice. 

 

Please vote yes on Amherst Warrant Article 41 on March 11, 2014.
