NC S937

North Carolina General Assembly opposes the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that allows unlimited corporate campaign spending.

Calls upon Congress to propose a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, clarify that corporations are not natural persons, and establish that money is not speech.

States the decision presents a threat to republican democracy by granting excessive power to corporate and union interests while diminishing individual citizens' voices in politics.

Contends corporations are legal entities subject to government regulation and should not receive the same constitutional rights as natural persons.

Directs the Principal Clerk to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to members of North Carolina's congressional delegation.
