A resolution memorializing Congress to overturn the United States Supreme Court Citizens United v. FEC; requesting that Congress clarify that the rights are protected under the Constitution are the rights of natural persons and not the rights of artificial entities and that spending money to influence elections is not speech under the First Amendment; asking that Congress propose a constitutional amendment to provide such a clarification
Minnesota Senate Bill SF 1033 is a resolution passed by the Minnesota Legislature requesting Congress to address the Supreme Court's *Citizens United v. FEC* decision. It asks Congress to clarify that constitutional rights belong solely to natural persons (people), not corporations or other artificial entities, and that spending money to influence elections is not protected speech under the First Amendment. The resolution specifically proposes a constitutional amendment requiring that government regulate campaign spending to ensure equal access for all citizens, prohibit unlimited spending by entities, and mandate public disclosure of political contributions. This is a non-binding request to Congress, not a law that changes current regulations.
