Bringing Move-To-Amend to the Sarasota County Commission

50+ Move To Amend supporters attend County Commission meeting 
The power to place a non-binding resolution on Sarasota County ballots in November rests with the Sarasota County Commission. County resident, Kindra Muntz, put together possible wording for such a resolution.

STRAW BALLOT QUESTION: 

Only Human Beings Are Endowed with Constitutional Rights

Should the rulings of Citizens United and related Supreme Court cases be effectively overturned by an amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America to clarify that only human beings, and not corporations, labor unions and other artificial entities, are endowed with constitutional rights, and that money is not speech, and therefore regulating political contributions and spending is not equivalent to limiting political speech? 

 Yes _____            No_____


Kindra along with three other Sarasota County residents - James Keeney, Arlene Sweeting, and Rhana Bazzini - all spoke in support of such a ballot initiative during the Public Comment period.
