The referendum passed with an 89% majority in Red Springs, which is in Shawano County. “Over half of Wisconsinites have already called for an end to “corporate personhood” and seeing money as a form of speech.”, explained Red Springs resident Deanna Bisley. “It’s time that our state legislators follow the will of “we the people” and put the referendum on the state ballot. The millions of dark money dollars spent during recent election cycles continues to disenfranchise everyday Americans.”“The Citizen’s United decision has been a disaster since day one. Money is not ‘political speech’ under the First Amendment.”Four in five Americans oppose the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v. FEC decision, according to a Bloomberg poll[2].
