“Separately, iCitizen ran a poll of 2,131 demographically balanced Americans and determined that the strongest and most intense support for a campaign finance reform was an Article V Convention to enable campaign finance reform. It was not only supported by 68.1 percent of all voters but was chosen as the first choice by 39.6 percent of all voters to nudge out a 28th Amendment such as FixIt America (34.7 percent) as a first choice. Both finished well ahead of only 19.8 percent that chose an option that would leave Citizens United in place.”
