    Petition for US Constitutional Amendment For Election Reform

    We, the undersigned US citizens, duly registered voters in our respective states/territories, do hereby petition for
    our state to approve the following amendment to the United States Constitution by the method noted below.

    Election Reform:

    1. Abolish the Electoral College (Repeal Amendment 12)

    2. ONE NATIONAL primary date to be held on the Tuesday eight (8) weeks prior to the General Election day for Con-
    gressional offices and for the President. Candidate petitions must be filed with the local/state elections boards 60
    days prior to the Primary Election date. Federal election petitions shall be uniform in every state and shall include
    a “contract with the voters” that spells out clearly what that candidate stands for on all issues that they may have
    to address in elected office. They shall be held accountable in court for breach of that contract if elected and any/all
    terms are not met.

    3. NO campaigning allowed for any elective federal office more than 60 days prior to the National Primary Date.

    4. NO campaign contribution shall be donated to any candidate of more than $200 from an individual or $500 max-
    imum from a family (spouses/children living in the same household.) No donations shall be made to a candidate
    more than sixty days prior to the primary date. No candidate shall contribute from their own funds more than 60%
    of the total donations from other private individuals.

    5. NO campaign contribution from any PAC, corporation, union, non-profit organization, special interest group, etc.
    shall be allowed for any elected federal office.

    6. NO third party campaigning (separate PAC ads, corporate ads, etc.) for/against any candidate shall be allowed at
    any time during or before the election season.

    7. NO party conventions shall be held to select the presidential candidates. The selection must be done at the ballot
    box in the primary election.

    8. The One Man/One Vote Supreme Court ruling shall be enforced by this Amendment, namely that NO federal can-
    didate selection shall be by any means other than the ballot box on Primary/General Election Dates.

    9. National Party Organizations shall NOT raise money for or donate to specific candidates of their party prior to
    the dates outlined above.

    10. PAC’s shall NOT be granted tax-exempt status by the IRS, and any non-profit organization who uses their funding
    for political purposes shall lose their tax-exempt status.

    11. All lobbyists shall be outlawed from influencing Congress at all times.

    This amendment shall be approved ONLY by State Constitutional Conventions to be called within 90 days of this
    petition being submmitted to a state’s Secretary of State. A minimum of 25% of the registered voters in each state
    shall be required to further this petition to the respective Secretary of State.
