Who Are “We The People Maine?”
We The People Maine is working to collect signatures on a Maine Citizen Initiative petition asking the Maine Legislature to call for an Article V Constitutional Convention for the sole purpose of passing a United States Constitutional Amendment making it clear that “Corporations are not people” and “Money is not speech.” We The People Maine hopes to work with individuals and groups throughout Maine to pass the We The People Maine Citizen Initiative. Creating a United States of America with saner laws and policies about corporations and money in politics will not be easy. The Maine Citizen Initiative petition is a first, very important, step. We expect these issues to take many years of effort. It is now the law of the land that corporations are given the same rights as people within the Bill of Rights, and that unlimited money is equated with free speech, undermining our ability to govern ourselves. We The People Maine’s aim is to restore democracy by working for change where change is necessary.
