Rhode Island State Pledge

I join the overwhelming majority of Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island, 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.

Rhode Island & American Promise

Rhode Island citizens are joining with Americans across the country to strengthen our nation against the corruption of money in politics, foreign interference, division, and dysfunction. We are using our voices to say that the decisions that matter in our state and our lives should be up to us.

In 2020 more than $14B was spent on state elections in the United States, the vast majority of it from a very small percentage of ultra-wealthy donors. To protect the right of Rhode Island voters to make our own decisions and our way of life, we must stand together to end the flood of money drowning out our voices in local, State and Federal elections.
Rhode Island Is Ready to Ratify
Introduced on March 1, 2012 by Senator M. Teresa Paiva Weed [13] et al., S 2656 passed the Senate on April 25 and the House on May 15, and Governor Lincoln Chafee signed it on May 21. Introduced on March 6, 2012 by Representative Gordon Fox [4] et al., H 7899 passed the House on May 8 and the Senate on May 24, and Governor Lincoln Chafee signed it on May 30. Together they called for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and related cases and to permit federal and state governments to regulate and restrict independent political expenditures by corporations and wealthy individuals.

Date Passed – May 24, 2016
