The resolution from the Senate of the State of Montana urges the United States Congress to propose a constitutional amendment that would affirm the authority of both state and federal governments to regulate campaign financing, specifically to prohibit corporate contributions to political campaigns. It emphasizes the importance of free and fair elections as a cornerstone of democracy and highlights the concerns of Montanans regarding the overwhelming influence of corporate money in elections, which they believe undermines the democratic process and the voices of individual citizens. The resolution references the passage of Initiative I-166 in 2012, which demonstrated a strong public desire for a level playing field in campaign spending and a clear distinction between the rights of individuals and corporations.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the amendment to be sent to the states for ratification, reinforcing the notion that money should not be equated with free speech and that the rights protected by the Constitution belong to human beings rather than corporations. The Senate requests that the Secretary of State distribute copies of the resolution to members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate to advocate for this significant change in campaign finance law.
