Over the years Uygur has supported the removal of corporate donations from the political system and he states that “Campaign finance reform” is the “only one issue” in the US. Several Supreme Court rulings (1976, 1978, 2010) on campaign finance motivated Uygur in the midst of the Occupy Wall Street movement to launch a long term project, a political action committee named Wolf-PAC on October 19, 2011, in New York City. Wolf-PAC aims to lobby state legislators to pass resolutions calling for a Convention of the States under Article V of the US Constitution. Its slogan is “A super-PAC to end all super-PACs”. The aim of the convention would be to pass an amendment to the United States Constitution that would end corporate personhood and publicly finance all elections in the United States. As of 2017, five states have passed the resolution thus calling for such a convention, though not all states have used identical language in their convention call.
