“The Montana Plan,” as local organizers have dubbed it, is moving toward the state’s 2026 ballot as a constitutional initiative. Its language leaves no doubt: Montanans want corporations out of their politics, and they intend to make that decision stick." www.usatoday.com/story/opini...
Americans want dark money out of politics. We don't have to wait for Supreme Court. | Opinion
Corporations are not born; they are built. And the Supreme Court has always held that the power to build them belongs to states alone.

“Money in politics is no longer a partisan issue.... speaking in particular of Montana’s attempt to amend the constitution by Transparent Election Initiative. “One of the most important things we can provide is transferring apathy into action.” disruptdarkmoney.feather.blog/national-po...
Daily Montanan | National poll shows support for Montana-based solution to Citizens United
Mangan stressed that although the issues and even solutions have varied, limiting the influence of money in politics is part of the state’s historical tradition, stretching back to 1912 when Montana voters demanded the “Corrupt Practices Act” which gave citizens more political power even at a time of Copper Kings and a notoriously weak first state constitution.
“There’s a consistency there because it treats everyone the same,” Mangan said. “No gimmicks, no loopholes.”
