Wisconsin State Pledge

I join the overwhelming majority of Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin, 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.

Doing in Wisconsin.

That makes a total of 172 Wisconsin communities — representing almost 3.2 million residents — that have called for an amendment.
