-We feel a need to start with the actual Preamble of the [[http://​www.malegislature.gov/​laws/​constitution|Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts]]+To educate people on how it is possible to get BIG MONEY OUT of politics, we feel a need to start with the actual Preamble of the [[http://​www.malegislature.gov/​laws/​constitution|Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts]]

-The Massachusetts Constitution awarded corporations no rights, only restrictions. See **Article VI** below, which begins, //"No man, nor corporation,​ or association of men, have any other title to obtain advantages, or particular and exclusive privileges, distinct from those of the community, than what arises from the consideration of services rendered to the public...".// Corporations have been given rights in Massachusetts. But those rights are NOT INALIENABLE. The only rights that are inalienable are guaranteed by the Massachusetts Constitution,​ which corporations do not have. The rights corporations currently have are granted by the Massachusetts Legislature through the Massachusetts General Laws and their charters. Those rights are not inalienable.\\+The Massachusetts Constitution awarded corporations no rights, only restrictions.

 We have previously stated the longevity and durability of our Constitution. The process to Amend our Constitution is arduous, and it should be. We at PassMassAmendment have a great respect for our Constitution,​ the Framers of said document, and our forefathers who took up arms to battle for the human rights that we enjoy today. In respect of those efforts, no one gets paid at PassMassAmendment. This is an all volunteer effort. PassMassAmendment will not pay anyone to gather signatures. It has been suggested that this has never worked in the past; that we have little chance. We already acknowledged the process as being arduous. If people do not rise up and volunteer, on an issue that transcends party lines and is so important to the future of our nation; if the people do not respond, then this Amendment does not deserve to be on the Ballot. This is a true "​grassroots"​ effort and we have faith, but we need help.\\ We have previously stated the longevity and durability of our Constitution.

-We issue a call to arms. We need those arms to hold clipboards as we ask registered voters to use their own arms to propel a pen to attach their signature to a petition sheet. We need those arms to pick up the phone and call friends and neighbors to say, "Have you heard?"​ We will need those arms to hold their brothers and sisters, at the end of the effort, as we all exclaim, "We did it," and feel the pride of accomplishing something that will make a difference and hopefully lead the rest of the country to help wrest back control of our Government from the corrupting influence of large, global corporations and big money. At that time we can put our arms to rest, inside a ballot booth, as we fill out a ballot, knowing that our vote does again matter.\\+We issue a call to arms.
