The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio calls for state and federal legislators, as well as local communities, to support an amendment to the United States Constitution aimed at abolishing corporate personhood and the doctrine of money as speech. It emphasizes the importance of self-governance and free elections as fundamental to democracy, arguing that corporations, as legal entities created by the government, should not possess the same rights as human beings. The resolution critiques the Supreme Court's interpretation that equates corporate spending in political campaigns with free speech, which it claims undermines the principle of equal representation and allows wealth to disproportionately influence political outcomes.

Furthermore, the resolution encourages public education and discussion about the dangers posed by corporate personhood to democracy, urging communities to adopt similar resolutions in support of this amendment. It seeks to mobilize grassroots efforts and raise awareness about the need to reclaim democratic rights for individuals over corporations, thereby reinforcing the notion that governance should be by and for the people. The Senate of Ohio plans to transmit copies of this resolution to relevant legislative bodies to further promote this initiative.
