The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 42 proposes an advisory referendum to be placed on the November 2026 ballot, asking Wisconsin voters whether Congress should propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution aimed at overturning the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. F.E.C. This landmark ruling established that corporations have the same rights as individuals regarding political speech, allowing for unlimited financial contributions to political campaigns. The resolution seeks to address concerns about the influence of money in politics and aims to ensure that all Americans have an equal voice in the democratic process.

The proposed amendment would clarify that only human beings possess constitutional rights, excluding corporations, unions, and other artificial entities, from such protections. Additionally, it would assert that money does not equate to speech, thereby allowing for the regulation of political contributions and expenditures without infringing on free speech rights. The resolution is supported by a broad coalition of representatives and senators and is intended to gauge public opinion on this significant constitutional issue.
