The constitution and bill of rights are great, why did we allow the government to fuck them up? We should require that by the end of 2012 to have elections for all departments along with restructuring of management in government institutions. This will flush out any corporation driven government officials and help issue in a new era for the US. We must ensure through legislature, that just like church and state must be kept separate, so should business and government. The government needs to become and remain purely the voice of the people and to place no value on individual or corporate revenue.

Reviewing our law books and abolishing outdated and unbalanced / corporation favored laws is a must.

With this we should also have random selections of individuals to monitor and report on government agencies for a period of time to ensure that it is always the people who are the focus. Citizens of a country they pay taxes to should have a right to see how their money is being spent and if they believe it to be acceptable. If it is not, it should be brought to public attention for vote.

There should be complete transparency in our government only to the extent that it doesn’t jeopardize individual rights and privacy or national security. We should then require a special elected team to monitor any government institutions with these exceptions so they remain in check.

The people never wanted the bail-outs and now we have to pay for it. This doesn’t make any sense if our government was truly “by the people.” We never asked for it but we really are the ones who deserve it. We need a debt forgiveness bail-out for America. Alongside this we need stricter regulations to prevent it ever getting out of control again.

We want our rights back such as our freedom of what we do with our own bodies and what is consensual among others. This would include decriminalizing all drugs. It has already been seen in Portugal the significant improvements that have been seen because of it: "Judging by every metric, decriminalization in Portugal has been a resounding success," says Glenn Greenwald (http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1893946,00.html#ixzz1a9xLX7TY). We must also leave the policing up to the states and in turn abolish the unneeded DEA and ATF.

The CIA were behind the flushing in the middle east. You are just pawns being used just like they used suckers to get what they wanted there. Don't be fooled.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

You're right. We should FLUSH what we have and START over.

I think all members of congress should be volunteers to keep special interests and career politicians out!!!

Thank u.
