Resolution No. 1006, introduced by Oklahoma legislators, calls on the United States Congress to propose a constitutional amendment that would allow states and Congress to regulate and limit the expenditure of funds in political campaigns, elections, and ballot measures. The resolution emphasizes the importance of ensuring that elected representatives remain accountable to their constituents and highlights the need for robust political debate and self-governance. It expresses concern over the influence of unlimited election spending, which has been equated with free speech by the Supreme Court, and argues that such spending can undermine the integrity of elections and the interests of citizens.

The resolution reflects the belief that reasonable regulations on campaign financing are necessary to protect the political equality and free speech of individuals, as well as to guard against corruption and undue influence from wealthy special interests, including corporations and foreign entities. By advocating for this amendment, the Oklahoma Legislature aims to reinforce the power of states to maintain the integrity of their electoral processes and ensure that the voices of actual constituents are not drowned out by external financial influences. A copy of the resolution will be submitted to key congressional leaders and members of Oklahoma's congressional delegation.
