5. 2014 Democratic State Convention (See the video here!)

- Don Berwick (endorsed May 2014)

- Steve Grossman (endorsed August 2014)

- Martha Coakley, at the time of her 2014 gubernatorial candidacy, as Attorney General of Massachusetts, was not allowed to take a position on a ballot initiative. But it is our understanding that she is fully supportive of “Corporations Are Not People, Money Is Not Speech” and went so far as to remind the Legislature that they could amend the Massachusetts Constitution on its own outside the petition process, as proposed in our amendment language.

“As a Constitutional lawyer, I support the right of the people to use the initiative process to protect Constitutional rights, which are for human beings, not corporations,.” John Bonifaz, Free Speech For People

“This debate should not be foreclosed in Massachusetts if there is a sufficient will of the people to bring the question to the ballot by initiative. An unduly broad reading of Article 48’s excluded matters, particularly in the absence of guidance from the Supreme Judicial Court, threatens to do just that.” Jeff Clements (ex-Attorney General, Massachusetts), from the memohe wrote to the sitting Massachusetts Attorney General (Martha Coakley via Peter Sacks) on the matter of decertification of the PassMassAmendment ballot initiative.
