Ask PFAW to call it the Anti-Fascist Amendment and strengthen the wording.
PFAW started a petition to "Pass a constitutional amendment granting Congress the authority limit corporate influence in elections." That's good but not nearly as strong as it could be, and certainly not strong enough. We have to also limit lobbying and other anti-Democratic corporate activities.

The underlying issue is that there have been several Supreme Court decisions that have nearly bestowed personhood on Corporations. That has led to government for the benefit of large corporations aka Corporatism aka Fascism. We need an anti-corporate personhood amendment, not just anti-corporate campaign contribution amendment.

Amendments need names and the best names are descriptive and educate. Call it the Anti-Fascist Amendment. Even right-wingers would have a hard time being publicly against anti-Fascism.

I think everyone should sign their petition, but if they hear from enough of us, perhaps they'd strengthen it as I'm suggesting. So sign the petition and send them a message to make the amendment stronger!
