Massachusetts State Pledge

I join the overwhelming majority of Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts, 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.

Massachusetts & American Promise

Massachusetts citizens are helping lead the way toward an America where we all have an equal say in the decisions that matter in our states and our lives. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Massachusetts volunteers, in 2019 voters overwhelmingly approved the establishment a first-of-its-kind nonpartisan Citizen Commission to advance the state’s policy in favor of an amendment to address concerns about corruption, undue influence, and unequal citizenship as a result of unlimited political spending. Join the Massachusetts campaign toward a more perfect union.
Massachusetts Is Ready to Ratify
January 21, 2011, S772, introduced by State Senator Jamie Eldridge, passed the Senate on July 26, 2012, and the House on July 31, 2012. The resolution called for action to “restore the First Amendment and fair elections to the people.”

Date Passed – July 31, 2012

Volunteer

Volunteering makes American Promise possible in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts American Promise volunteers have achieved stunning grassroots, cross-partisan victories across the state. In 2019, Massachusetts announced the non-partisan Citizen Commission, the result of a law passed by 71 percent of Massachusetts voters in a citizens ballot initiative. To place the question about the Commission on the ballot, more than 1,000 volunteers connected with hundreds of thousands of voters and collected over 130,000 signatures from every town in Massachusetts. The measure was endorsed by Republican Governor Charlie Baker and Democrati Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey. Find the first report by the Citizens Commission below.

MILESTONE REACHED

Victory in Utah! 

Today we are celebrating a significant victory: Utah became the 23rd state to urge Congress to propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that gives states the power to control their own elections.

You can help make Utah’s victory a tipping point in our fight to address the crisis of money in politics. Legislatures in several other states are considering resolutions in support of an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 

Can you chip in $5, $10, $25 or $50 today to help us deploy additional resources to move these states to be “ready to ratify”?
