- We the people, of these United States of America, Hereby invoke our right and our powers and hereby do proclaim that our government, of by and for the people, shall again and immediately be of by and for the people, instead of of by and for the elites and their assorted bubbles and economic voodoo schemes. We hereby place under arrest any and all persons who are merely systemic parasites utilizing fictional economic bubbles in order to "rule over" the rest of us.
When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
We Americans here-by assert our duty to alter our current form of government. The abuses of the last two decades have led to vast inequality, and the destruction of the American middle-class. We require prompt action to right these injustices. Reform of the campaign finance system and the immediate end to the practice of lobbying and corporate campaign contributions is the only way by which this great nation can be saved.
Yess! And the next lines?
thats all i have for now... if you like it, give me some points man...the up arrow to the left of the name. What else should be in there?
you tell me. we have to write it together slowly and consciously. And very mindfully of the original.
Well the problem I'm having with writing more is, this is all I think we need. Its simple, to the point and solves most of the problems we face aside from fractional reserve banking and the FED. But those are difficult concepts to get people motivated by
yeah, well, it isn't that simple, you just want it to be easy.
no, it won't be easy no matter what. I just don't think you will get the people behind you with a very complicated set of changes. People have a short attention span and most don't take time to learn. Change will not happen all at once, we will be lucky to get anything done, let alone a laundry list of significant social changes. in my opinion.
thats what most people tend to think. The problem is that each of those items brings another hundred thousand people on board. So the actual truth is that without such a detailed laundry list you can never make sufficient numbers. One percent fighting one percent. We lose. You bring in another percent each 10 or 20 items you add to that list. So while your opinion is pretty standard, its also the anti intellectualism everyones been programmed with and the core marketing failure and why social movements fail. In short, your simply wrong, and your wrong because you have been programmed to do that because its VERY convenient to the elites to have us all thinking we can somehow manage with a tiny list of simple things.
I would argue that the long list does not bring more people in, but drives more people away. You have to identify a couple root causes and show how they influence the everyday person and attach those points. People will not be swayed by a 15 point list of reform ideas that haven't been thought through
but they will be swayed by a 101 point list every detail of which has been exhaustively researched and detailed and thought through. Presidential candidates have political platforms with assorted issues for this reason.
