The first step in taking back the People’s
constitutional right to determine how we will be governed is to get rid
of the “good old boy” network in Washington. Yes, the baby may be
thrown out with the bathwater—I’m sure there are some well intentioned
folks in Washington right now—but the system is so rotten I don’t think
Baby should want to stay in the bathwater.
Each member of the
House and one third of the Senate is elected every two years; imagine
if most of us voted in 2024 for someone who, in writing, promises
to vote “NO” on all bills until the reforms listed at right are
enacted.
Unlike the Republican “Contract With America” in the
mid 1990’s, this isn’t a party-sponsored event. It’s a grass roots
response aimed at one thing all Americans can agree on: governmental
perks and big money campaigning have turned even the best meaning
representatives into money-grubbers. Solve this one problem and
other problems can be dealt with more easily.
Below, briefly, are the reforms.
Constitutional interpretation restrictions; process for states to determine constitutionality of federal actions; no transfer of power allowed
Citizen rights added: environment, education, living wage & safety net for those who can't work, equal opportunity; each with restrictions
Judicial reforms
Fed employee compensation tied to private sector; 8 day work week; term limits for EVERY fed employee
Campaign SPENDING restrictions
Increased qualifications for Congress & President, presidential teamwork
Virtual congressional sessions
Short and simply written bills
End gerrymandering and other unfair voting practices; eliminate voter fraud
Federal government monetary policy requirements: modified gold standard, 100% deposit reserve for banks, no unfunded mandates, a sane budget process (including balanced budget), restrictions on marketplace interference, and elimination of the income tax.
