Sharon Town Meeting voted to oppose a 2010 Supreme Court decision in which the court held that organizations have a right to free speech that cannot be infringed by limits on their election spending.

Sharon joined 73 other Massachusetts communities that have passed similar resolutions opposing the decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission; 171 cities and towns have passed a resolution, a ballot question, or both, according to Common Cause, an advocacy group that has campaigned for the amendment.
