Mission Statement
ProjectLeapfrog.org is a nonprofit geared toward getting corporations and money out of politics, basically reversing Citizens United. Congressional election costs have become six times higher since 2000. Congress is more concerned about reelection than productivity. But nonprofits have been unable to amend the Constitution via Congress for 14 years. Lawrence Lessig of Harvard has said, "A constitutional convention is the one final plausible strategy for forcing fundamental reform onto our Congress." ProjectLeapfrog.org is laser focused on getting states to ask for a "Limited" Non-partisan Convention of States despite some unfounded fear mongering.
Description
ProjectLeapfrog.org is laser focused on getting states to ask for a "Limited" Non-partisan Convention of States despite some unfounded fear mongering. Our common state resolution limits a convention to two topics:
- grant rights to people only (not corporations) and
- grant rights to campaign finance limits .
Our resolution includes a unique "void" clause so our LIMITED Convention Will NOT Run Away!
If any topics, besides our two, are approved in the form of proposed Amendments, then the Convention is void.
We are reusing legislative sponsors from 38 states that passed similar Amendment related bills which allows us to leapfrog other nonprofits.
We have enlisted volunteer legislative liaisons near most State Capitals to get our resolution passed.
