Submitted by davidafd on

To endorse the efforts of Move to Amend PDX, please complete this form.

Following the US Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United, which unleashed unlimited and largely unaccountable corporate spending in American elections, Move to Amend formed to engage the American people to stand up and say no to corporate domination of our democracy. Democracy is threatened not only by this decision but also by other court decisions which have bestowed human rights onto corporations, making them corporate persons.
