Candidates 2018 Pledge To Amend Results

Last month, Manasota MTA sent out a Pledge To Amend Candidate Questionnaire.  We asked candidates running for local, state, and federal offices where they stand regarding amending the U.S. Constitution to make clear that corporations and other artificial entities do not have Constitutional rights and that money is not speech.  If elected, how would they use their office to support the Movement to Amend the Constitution.

The results are in.  Drumroll please ...
