What if?

What if congressmen were elected because they are smart, intelligent and ethical?

Just how could this be achieved?

What if lobbyists spent money on American parks, services for the elderly, or healthcare grants instead of under the table, backroom deals in congress to line their pockets?

What if Americans felt that they had a responsible government serving the needs of it citizens?

What if the world wanted to be like the United States and have a responsible government like ours.

Impossible you say.

What if this could be accomplished with a one paragraph amendment to the constitution?

What 100 words could be arranged in such a way in an amendment to the constitution that could cause this to happen?

                                         ************

I believe the problem with government of the United States of American is one of organization. For over 200 years the branches of government have functioned within the design of the constitution. Most of us would agree that the president of the United States is our representative and duly elected leader. And the method of choosing the justices of the Supreme Court although may be flawed, it seems to work. However, our congress cannot be elected like the presidency. Our congress, both the house and senate, are the elected representatives of the citizens of the United States. That design worked well in the decades before we had technology. As a citizen of the United States I now propose we the citizens amend the roles of representatives and senators to better reflect the desires of our citizens.

I believe that congress’ role should be amended to eliminate their ability to make laws. I am no longer satisfied with an elected representative or senator passing the laws and levying taxes on our citizens. I want to vote for myself. I want a true democracy whereas my vote counts for or against a new law or new tax. I think congress should continue to write bills and propose laws that we, the citizens vote for or against passage. I think that technology makes this the next logical step in a real, true democracy.

What do you think?

A sample amendment might be

All powers endowed to the congress (the house and senate) of the United States of America and those powers of congress enumerated in the Constitution of the United States of American are hereby repealed and transferred to the voting citizens of the United States of America. The houses of congress shall remain in place for the purpose of writing new bills to be voted on by all citizens in annual national elections requiring 67% popular vote to pass and become law. (just 78 words)

Many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

Join

http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/

because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.

Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link above, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.

Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet; it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. In this, sequence is key.

Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.

The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.

Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.

So please JOIN the 2nd link, so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for by e-mail from the group in the 2nd link, and then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the strategy of the 1st link as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your Occupation & Generation.
