STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

 

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty Four

 

A RESOLUTION urging Congress to adopt a constitutional amendment to distinguish between corporate and individual rights.

 

Whereas, the people of New Hampshire stand with communities across the country to defend democracy from the corrupting effects of undue corporate power by urging Congress to amend the United States Constitution to establish that:

I. Only human beings, not corporations, are endowed with constitutional rights, and

II. Money is not speech, and therefore regulating political contributions and spending is not equivalent to limiting political speech; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the people of New Hampshire, hereby instruct our federal representatives to propose a Constitutional amendment to this effect; and

That the clerk of the New Hampshire house of representatives is directed to prepare copies of this memorial and transmit them to the President of the United States, the President and the Secretary of the United States Senate, the Speaker and the Clerk of the United States House of Representatives, and New Hampshire's congressional delegation.
