I join the overwhelming majority of Americans to demand an amendment to the United States Constitution to end the domination of big money in politics and give voice to all Americans.
I will stand with all Americans, without regard to party or other differences, and urge all candidates and elected officials to do the same, in order to pass and ratify such a constitutional amendment as soon as possible.

At American Promise, we don’t think the Constitution is unamendable. In fact, millions of Americans participating in our For Our Freedom Amendment campaign are in the process of amending it right now. These are not naïve dreamers or political manipulators.
