That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.

This is what we need to demand people of Occupy Wall Street.

This is from our constitution amendment right!!

As much as I appreciate people who know what is in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, they should spend some time discerning what came from which one.

Also, another important part that comes immediately before the part on altering or abolishing the government.

"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"

A new effort has been started to Occupy The Constitution. This effort launches a new Direct Democracy tool called the National Opinion Collection System ( NOCS ). This tool creates a process to capture ALL the comments of EVERY citizen about major social issues, elections and bills before congress. This effort is described at http://occupywallst.org/forum/occupytheconstitution-introduction

If our elected honored their oath to OBEY and protect the Constitution we wouldn't be in the mess we are in. We don't need a new Constitution just use the old one.

If we just utilized impeachment and prosecution for violation of oath of office (treason), and prosecution of both sides of bribes from the special interest of banksters and big corporate monopolists to our representatives, we could end this financial crisis quickly. As long as the crooks get away with it, the problem will continue to fester.
