The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Assembly Joint Resolution 57, which urges support for a constitutional amendment that would grant states and Congress the authority to regulate campaign financing. The resolution emphasizes the importance of fostering political debate, freedom of speech, and self-government while addressing concerns that the U.S. Supreme Court's interpretation of election spending as free speech may undermine these principles. It argues that excessive election spending can drown out the voices of individual citizens and weaken the democratic process.

The resolution calls for a constitutional amendment that would clarify the ability of states and Congress to impose reasonable regulations on election spending, allowing them to differentiate between individuals and legally recognized entities. The Wisconsin Legislature expresses its commitment to protecting political equality and self-governance for its citizens and plans to submit copies of the resolution to key congressional leaders and the Wisconsin congressional delegation.
