We the People of the State of Florida defend democracy and our republic from the influence of corporate corruption by establishing only human beings are endowed by their Creator with constititutional rights. To preserve the People of Florida's constitutional rights, we ordain and establish corporations are not people in the State of Florida and regulating political contributions is not equiavlent to limiting political speech.
