We, the people of the Town of York, Green County, Wisconsin support passage of an amendment to the United States constitution stating:

- Money is not speech, and therefore regulating political contributions and spending is not equivalent to limiting political speech.

A “no” vote on this referendum would mean that you would like the United States Constitution to remain as is with no change.
