Here's the Amendment. It was introduced today.
WE THE PEOPLE AMENDMENT
Section 1. [Artificial Entities Such as Corporations Do Not Have Constitutional Rights]
The rights protected by the Constitution of the United States are the rights of natural persons only.
Artificial entities established by the laws of any State, the United
States, or any foreign state shall have no rights under this
Constitution and are subject to regulation by the People, through
Federal, State, or local law.
The privileges of artificial entities shall be determined by the
People, through Federal, State, or local law, and shall not be
construed to be inherent or inalienable.
Section 2. [Money is Not Free Speech]
Federal, State, and local government shall regulate, limit, or
prohibit contributions and expenditures, including a candidate's own
contributions and expenditures, to ensure that all citizens, regardless
of their economic status, have access to the political process, and
that no person gains, as a result of their money, substantially more
access or ability to influence in any way the election of any candidate
for public office or any ballot measure.
Federal, State, and local government shall require that any permissible contributions and expenditures be publicly disclosed.
The judiciary shall not construe the spending of money to influence elections to be speech under the First Amendment.
