MS SC547

Petitions U.S. Congress to convene a limited constitutional convention under Article V exclusively to propose a "Free and Fair Elections Amendment" addressing campaign finance and the influence of money in politics

Responds to the 2010 Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court decision, which removed restrictions on independent political spending and is characterized as corrupting the political process

Specifies that convention delegates should be equally comprised of state/local elected officials or individuals elected by congressional district, with former or current federal officeholders prohibited from serving

Declares this a continuing application to be considered alongside similar resolutions from Vermont, California, Illinois, New Jersey, and other states until two-thirds of states apply and Congress convenes a convention

Directs certified copies to be sent to the President, Vice President, congressional leaders, Mississippi's congressional delegation, and legislatures of states that have not yet applied for such a convention
