"The Montana Plan directly addresses the corrosive impact of dark money not only in our society at large, but within the charitable nonprofit sector. Trust in nonprofits has eroded as their association with dark money has grown.

"In Montana, local organizers have drafted and submitted a constitutional initiative for voters to consider in 2026 — the first step in a movement built to spread nationwide. It would decline to grant to all corporations the power to spend in elections." disruptdarkmoney.feather.blog/robert-reic...

“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.

'The 2024 federal election cycle was the most secretive since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in 2010. Dark money groups, nonprofits and shell companies that spend on elections without revealing their donors' @BrennanCenter

"I've long argued that hidden corporate political spending hurts investors. The Montana Plan leapfrogs the disclosure fight by preventing corporations from creating political-spending funds that investors can't see in the first place.

As campaign spending flows unchecked, some states are trying to impose limits
The role of outside money in elections has grown exponentially ever since the Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that political spending is a form of speech. Now, some advocates of campaign finance reform hope to impose limits though the states.
