To the editor:
Building the Democracy reform movement is a long-term struggle to save our representative democracy from dominance by large corporate and other special moneyed interests. The concerted efforts in recent decades by "Big Money/Dark Money" to control our election processes and our political candidates has been very successful.
But our nation was founded on the principle that "We, the People" are to govern ourselves as a democratic republic and now the people are regaining control of our republic through our efforts in democracy reform action that is likened to women's suffrage and the Civil Rights movements.
The nonpartisan coalition of volunteer citizens known as United to Amend has grown tremendously since the Supreme Court 2010 decision in Citizens United vs. The Federal Election Commission. Hundreds of communities across the U.S. have passed resolutions calling for a Constitutional amendment, including 74 governments in Wisconsin and 16 states. Once enough states press Congress on this, they will be forced to act and respond to the will of the people.
I want to thank all the members of the Green County UTA team, as well as countless other citizen supporters who gave their time to share the vision of UTA and walk door to door and deliver educational material to citizens in the Green County municipalities that held referendums this past April 5 with great success. All your hard work is deeply appreciated. And we have special kudos to the common councils in the municipalities who recognize that they are elected by their constituents to serve the best interest of the people and allow the people to have the right to vote on this most important issue.
Our work continues. United To Amend invites all citizens who want to see legalized bribery of our legislators and rampant corruption by unlimited spending to influence our political processes ended, please join the movement.
To learn more or to get help to see the "We The People" advisory amendment on the ballot in your municipality in the future please see our website Green County United To Amend, or contact co-chairs Jeanette Kelty, zakk10@tds.net or Harry Pulliam, hfpulliam@tds.net.
The future of our Democracy tomorrow depends upon what "We The People" are dedicated to do today.
