I-194 Is a Corporate Charter Law. Professor Natelson Reviewed a Different Statute

What the good professor doesn't bring is any Supreme Court caselaw to make his point, which is a little unusual for a constitutional law professor. And there's good reason for that: He doesn't have any. The one case he does mention proves our point, not his.

A Conservative’s questions on The Montana Plan I-194

I-194 is Montana exercising that reserved power. It does not prohibit anything. It says what the powers of an artificial person are, and political spending is not among them.

Artificial person simply means corporations and dark money groups who spend in our elections. Only real persons will be able to spend in Montana elections

A More Constructive Conversation About Local Levies and I-194, The Montana Plan

The Montana Plan is not complicated. Corporations cannot spend money to support or oppose candidates or ballot issues. Only individuals can. That's the whole measure. If you believe elections should be decided by people and not by artificial persons and billionaires hiding their identities, then I-194 is your initiative.
