The straw poll ballot initiative was placed on the ballot by county commissioners at the request of the Alachua County chapter of Move to Amend in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling that corporations have First Amendment rights in striking down limits on corporate campaign spending. The measure says the Constitution should be amended to say that only human beings and not corporations, labor unions and other artificial entities should have constitutional rights, and that money is not speech, so regulating political contributions and spending is not limiting political speech.
