Minnesota State Pledge

I join the overwhelming majority of Minnesota 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 Minnesota, 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.

Money is power, and when in the hands of few, it undermines democracy. It has become clear that the only way to restore the American Promise of Fair and Equal Representation is by passing an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Our Accomplishments

From our Minnesota team:

We can’t have a strong Republic without a robust, free and fair democratic process. We need to be able to set limits on how much can be spent to influence our elections and policies. We cannot do that without passing and ratifying an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Minnesota & American Promise

According to a report from January of this year from Americans for Tax Fairness, Billionaires are spending 39 times more on Federal elections since the Citizens United Supreme Court decision in 2010. The report finds that almost 40% of all billionaire campaign contributions made since 1990 occurred during the 2020 season.

Our Progress

Our Progress in
Minnesota & America

American Promise is mobilizing a grassroots, volunteer-led effort to keep the issue of money in politics at the forefront of the political conversation in each state through media outreach, petition signing events, lobby days, civics education and much more. Here’s a timeline of our progress so far:

Voters and local representatives in nearly 1,000 cities and towns have met in town meetings and local councils to debate and pass resolutions to condemn the influence of unlimited money in elections and to advance the For Our Freedom Amendment.

Who Are We?

We are Minnesotans from all walks of life and political viewpoints coming together to secure our freedom and ensure a government Of The People, free of the undue influence of outside money in our elections and policies.

We are all volunteers – Democrats, Republicans, and everything in between – with no agenda other than enabling our elected officials to fully represent their constituents.

How Do I Get Involved? Americans make big reform and renewal happen in historic moments of crisis, as we now are experiencing. But it doesn’t happen without Americans willing to step up to help drive that change. The success of our campaign does not depend on Washington lobbyists or online petitions — it depends on citizen unity and action: We the People, speaking up and taking action where we live.

For Our Freedom Amendment

The For Our Freedom Amendment exists to put the power back in the hands of the American people. Minnesota citizens and elected officials are currently powerless to stop the billionaires and foreign forces from buying our elections and influencing our policies. This reform will put the rights of the people before the privileges of the super-wealthy, corporations, unions, and super PACs.
