“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...

Do you have the power to fly? The right to actually fly? Of course not! We're working to ensure corporations don't have the power to spend in politics. That's The Montana Plan. youtube.com/shorts/3wHw... Join us!

Dark money has evolved since Citizens United. Rather than purchasing their own advertisements (which would trigger some disclosure), dark money groups now primarily make massive transfers to allied super PACs—amounts far exceeding any previous direct spending.

"For over a century, Montana's Corrupt Practices Act ensured elections were about people, not unlimited corporate spending and control. When the Supreme Court discarded Montana's history after Citizens United, the Court tied our hands.

In fighting the 'Copper Collar', citizen-led reforms established a tradition of public activism and helped shape Montana's unique political culture characterized by face-to-face campaigning, questioning party loyalty, skepticism of outside interests, and grassroots activism.
