Amen!
We who are aware of how the deal is really going down, need to come together in a way that will maximize our ability to help properly educate the people. We need to start looking into answers that can quickly appeal to citizens of all political viewpoints by circumventing the red tape that has helped cause their ineffectual, disgruntled, silence. Today, as much as ever before in this country, an educated people will quickly become a motivated people. That is the only way to remove the roadblocks to freedom that have been erected and are constantly being fortified, for the benefit of the few by way of losses incurred by the many. The many who are constantly being written about in insightful, important articles posted here on this website everyday, that document the seemingly myriad transgressions of our Constitutional rights. These problems all stem from a systemic infestation of corruption. How else could these sick individuals have ever gotten the chance to act upon their plans? We each need to stop looking to quickly patch up our own beef with the powers that be - at the de facto expense of stalling any concerted effort to fix the entire crumbling structure. While the majority of citizens have grown to accept the idea of a crumbling, corrupt system of governance that is no longer functioning within the framework of the Constitution, they are content to do nothing not because they are scared, but because they are not fully aware of the dangers we all face. People who know they are on fire are rarely too scared to try their best to put it out. No, the masses have been lulled to sleep. The majority of Americans live full time in the Colloseum that the Romans concocted as a salve. They immerse themselves in the latest tidbits of information they are fed twenty four hours a day regarding the athletic teams they have sworn their allegiance to. They console themselves by cracking open a beer and turning on the television that directed them to buy that beer. They somehow console themselves by saying things about the government to friends, family and co-workers, that they wouldn't have the balls to say to the face of those about whom they speak. Those whose job it is according to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, to represent them. They console themselves by watching comedy that harmlessly pokes fun at the people who have run their ship aground, and are charging them for the repair bill; and who then squander the money they took to supposedly pay the bill. They console themselves by repeating in their heads the false rhetoric they are fed by the propaganda outlets masquerading as news organizations, that blames other masses of citizens having differing views, for the utter lack of governmental responsiveness to the complaints they have. They console themselves by believing that those who don't share their particular viewpoints are un-American, or least somehow less patriotic than they are. Etc... What we fail to see and act upon is the fact that we all have a common enemy. That we are all being preyed upon by the same seemingly insatiable monster. We need to wake up and start acting together. We need to start concentrating on our common interests, our Constitutional rights. When we work together to restore the proper function of government, and only then, will all of our best interests be served. Please read and fully consider the document below. When fully understood, it is clear that this document outlines the real, effective changes that are desperately needed today. I invite and urge all feedback. Now is not the time to stay quiet! As witnesses to and rightful custodians of, the Declaration of Independence by which the sovereignty of this nation has been established and which clearly states that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed; and that it is the right of the people to alter such government whenever any form of it becomes destructive to the ends of the people’s Rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness; and within which the imposition of taxes upon the people without their consent is clearly mentioned as an example of an objectionable act of government, We, the people of The United States of America, with whom ALL actual power resides according to our written Constitution which is the Supreme Law of this land, and which has been written by the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, DEMAND that, should at least fifty million citizens who are of the legal age to vote, express their agreement with the concepts outlined in this document, by way of email sent to their state and or federal legislators transmitted from the website www.simplyamericanpride.org, and or any other legible, electronically transmitted document generated by any computer through which legally binding contracts may be executed, and or by fax, and or by way of written petition, 1-Lobbyists must pay the people for the ability to seek political favor. 2-Full, legally binding disclosure of political activities by ALL elected officials 3-Decisions regarding the compensation of public servants are made by the people. 4-The system of taxation is decided upon by the people. 5-ALL public officials are fully accountable under ALL circumstances to the people. 6-The public shall be provided means by which to monitor and act upon all of the above, and to cause to be enacted through their own direct, unimpeded effort, legal legislation of the concepts that they deem worthy of being law. 1-Lobbyists must pay the people for the ability to seek political favor: The amount of money that ANY party, be it a company and or group, and or organization, and or person, that profits by way of ANY product or service, spends on ANY government lobbying MUST be matched and donated by that party, with the same frequency that its most regularly paid employees and or officers are paid, to a fund whose sole purpose it is, to provide one time loans up to the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars that are no more than five years in length and interest free, to ANY adult citizen seeking to establish a new business or improve an existing one, or get the training and or education to earn a living in a new field of employment, who, for the three consecutive years previous to their submission of an application for said loan, has been employed full time in the workforce and has earned less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars per year and has had less than Twenty Thousand Dollars saved and or invested over that same period of time; And who can present proof of their willingness and ability to succeed in such endeavor, that is required to be no more stringent than that of the current system of defining one’s willingness and ability to succeed in such endeavor that is used by ANY legal lender of money in the United States of America who has remained a viable enterprise for no less than ten years prior to the writing of this document without requiring the holding of ANY goods as collateral, and or experiencing a default rate on said loans that is no greater than the average default rate of ALL other legal lenders of money in the United States of America combined within that same ten year period, and who has within said ten years, consistently lent money to no less than Five hundred people per year, in amounts that average per loan, no less than One Thousand Dollars. Furthermore, Any and ALL executives and investors of such lobbying parties that are affected by this law must FULLY bear the financial burden imposed by this Law; they must refrain from raising their current and or future prices for Any goods or service so as to pass this cost back to the public, or they shall be legally required to pay fines that amount to double the cost of their assessed donation, with interest; and the entire board of directors will each be held accountable for the non pardonable crime, resulting in a minimum of five years spent in the general population of the nations most dangerous prison, of defrauding the people of the United States of America. Furthermore, each of said lobbying parties MUST acknowledge in written statements, signed by their entire board of directors, and added as a legally binding supplement to ANY and ALL articles of their incorporation and or formation, as a statement of Fact that is presented to the public in clear language, in no less than eighteen point font, in multiple newspapers whose combined, paid circulation exceeds Ten Million people daily in the United States, and on the internet, to be viewable in perpetuity, on numerous publicly accessible websites that shall be mentioned in said newspaper presentation, That they are using time and energy that is lawfully that of THE PUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA when lobbying, being as the lawmakers they engage are public servants who are employed and fully compensated BY THE PEOPLE TO SERVE THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE. 2- Full, legally binding disclosure of political activities by all elected officials: Each representative of the people must devote no less than the amount of time and public funds that they and their subordinates spend in ANY way relating to Any and ALL above mentioned lobbying parties, henceforth also referred to as a “meeting”, than that of the amount of time and money spent relating directly, both in person and on the phone, to the private citizens who are their constituents. An official log book shall be kept by each representative, and signed daily by said representative as legal affirmation of the accuracy of each days account of their activities while engaged in any official capacity; they shall NOT be required to enter into said log book details of their interactions throughout the day, other than the times, locations, and durations of said interactions and the names of those with whom they interacted in said official capacity. Said log book shall be considered, under ALL circumstances to be the property of the citizens of the United States of America, and shall thus be available, within seventy two hours of the request received by certified mail at the office provided them by the people, to be fully scrutinized and or copied and or photographed, in full or in part, at said office and or in a Court of Law, by Any of their constituents and or members of the Court; Furthermore, ANY legislation brought forth by ANY representative of the people, that in ANY way relates to ANY lobby, as the general term “governmental lobby” is at the time of the writing of this document used for legal purposes and or public broadcast by holders of licenses for television and or radio frequency use in this country, Must be accompanied by a FULL explanation written by the representative in their own words as to how such legislation will benefit the American people; this is FULLY intended to include, but not be limited to, ANY and ALL earmarks and riders. Such written explanations must be published in newspapers as outlined in section one of this document, and on the internet for public review 3-Decisions regarding the compensation of public servants are made by the people: The salary, health care benefits, retirement compensation, and ALL other compensation that will be derived from ANY public funds, and transferred to the elected representatives of the people of the United States of America, the President notwithstanding, shall henceforth be regulated and set by the voting public; The voting public shall decide upon said compensation on a yearly basis. The people, by way of written ballot, of which they shall each receive a tangible copy that will be considered for ALL purposes to be valid, legal proof of the actual vote they cast, should the event ever come to pass that the results of said vote are considered by a majority of the voting public to be incorrect, shall each give their opinion as to the amounts of compensation to be transferred to said elected representatives regarding their salary, health care benefits, retirement compensation, and ALL other compensation that will be derived from ANY public funds, for the following year. Once they have been quickly and accurately calculated, the averaged “High”, “Middle”, and “Low” amounts as totaled in each state, as they pertain to compensation of elected state and or local officials by the public of each state, and as totaled nationwide, as they pertain to the compensation of elected federal officials by the public of the entire nation, shall each be presented to the voting public in newspapers, as outlined in section one of this document, and on the internet within twenty four hours, and within Thirty days of that presentation, said totaled amounts shall be voted on by the voting public; each amount that receives the greatest number of votes as it pertains to each particular position will be enacted as law for the next full year. It will be considered a non-pardonable crime punishable by a minimum of five years spent in the general population of the nations most dangerous prison, for ANYONE other than a “Friend”, as defined in section six of this document, to use ANY public funds to influence the opinion of the voting public as to how they should cast their vote. Any representative who shall wish to relinquish the remaining time of their elected term of public service after they learn of the levels of compensation to be voted upon in said upcoming “High”, “Middle”, and “Low” vote, should the preliminary vote have produced results that they find unacceptable, will be legally required to publicly state, to members of the press, and on the internet, their unwillingness to continue to act as a public servant; said announcement MUST, by law, occur within twenty four hours of the announcement of the levels of compensation to be voted upon, so that the affected public shall benefit from having as much time as is reasonably possible, to decide upon whom they shall each vote for as said former representative’s replacement; a fine of Ten Thousand Dollars for each day that said legally required announcement is delayed shall be legally imposed and enforced; said fine shall be paid solely to the loan fund described in section one of this document. Furthermore, ANY and ALL funding for the influence of the public’s opinion regarding their vote that is not derived from public funds, MUST be accompanied by the FULL PUBLIC DISCLOSURE of the names of ALL contributors, at said contributors cost, in newspapers, as outlined in section one of this document, and on the internet; failure to properly disclose said information is a non-pardonable crime resulting in a minimum of Five Years spent in the general population of the nations most dangerous prison. 4-The system of taxation is decided upon by the people: The voting public of the United States of America shall henceforth determine ANY and ALL systems of taxation by which THEIR MONEY is to be collected for the adequate funding of the operation of government. The voting public shall for One Year be presented with expert, sworn testimony regarding ALL matters pertinent to the determination of an appropriate system of taxation, of which inaccuracy is a non-pardonable crime resulting in a minimum of ten years spent in the general population of the nations most dangerous prison; and of which the dissemination of inaccurate commentary to the public in regards to said testimony shall also be a crime resulting in the same penalty. At the end of the term of such testimony, the voting public shall decide by simple majority vote, which system of taxation shall be lawfully implemented. The length of time for which said system of taxation shall remain valid is Ten Years, at which time the process described above shall be re-enacted; 5-All public officials are fully accountable under ALL circumstances to the people: No public official, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, shall remain exempt from presenting legally enforceable, sworn public testimony regarding any act taken by way of their being a government official during their term of service, should a Two Thirds Majority of the voting public they represent deem such act worthy of investigation. Furthermore, it shall be by way of a simple majority of said voting public that the questions to be asked, by whom they are asked, and to what extent a proper, satisfactory explanation has been given, shall be ultimately decided. The length of time through which the voting public may initiate the action of this right has NO EXPIRATION or LIMITATION, regardless of whether or not said public official is still holding any governmental position, or living within the boundaries of the United States of America. Furthermore, ANY inaccurate testimony given shall be considered a non-pardonable crime resulting in ten years spent in the general population of the nations most dangerous prison. 6-The public shall be provided means by which to monitor and act upon all of the above, and to cause to be enacted through their own direct, unimpeded effort, legal legislation of the concepts that they deem worthy of being law: The means by which the voting public shall be able to conveniently and effectively express all of their opinions regarding their governance, and be regularly notified by way of the internet of the activities of their elected officials, by said elected officials as required in ANY section of this document, and to learn of and act upon anything else mentioned in ANY of the sections of this document, within the guidelines stated below, will be by way of a joint governmental and publicly supplied and maintained website whereupon both parties are, under ALL circumstances, EQUALLY REPRESENTED IN ALL MANNER. Furthermore, the people’s usage of said website to express their opinions regarding desired legislation shall NOT be limited to that which has been or shall be mentioned in this document, unless such limitations are specifically mentioned in this document; said website shall be available AT ALL TIMES to be used by the voting public as a tool, though not the only tool, through which they can easily and in clear language gain the FULL LEGAL DISCLOSURE of ALL that is required by law, of their elected officials; and through which they, the voting public, can effectively and efficiently propagate concepts that they wish to have enacted as state and or federal law; When at least One Million of the Voting Public within a given state of the union vote on said website in favor of a particular action to be taken regarding an issue of their state, and or at least One Million of the voting public of at least Thirty Four states of the union vote on said website in favor of a particular nationwide action to be taken, said action shall be included on the ballot in the next state and or federal election, and the decision of a Two Thirds majority of the voters in a particular state, as it regards legislation for that particular state, and or a Two Thirds majority of the voters of Two Thirds of the states of the union, as it regards legislation of a particular nationwide action to be taken, shall legally decide the legislative course of action to be lawfully enacted by their representatives in such regard, no more than Thirty days from the date of said election; Though this shall NOT, in ANY way, supercede or alter ANY less stringent method of the people’s existing right to enact, and or cause to have enacted, desired legislation as it may already exist at the time of the writing of this document; The method by which each member of the voting public shall be able to legally share their ideas with one another, and by which they shall have the legal right and ability to attempt to propagate the concepts that they believe to be fit for legally enforceable legislation in their state of residence and or nationally, by way of said website, shall be as follows: Each member of the voting public shall be entitled to designate up to, but not more than, TWENTY other members of the voting public as their “Friend”; each member of the voting public shall be able to communicate on said website with ONLY those members of the voting public that they have designated as a “Friend”, except in the case of their communicating with an elected official; And elected officials shall be legally held to the same rules of usage on said website, except in the case of answering a communication they received from a constituent; said answer MUST NOT, in ANY WAY be used as an opportunity to attempt to propagate ANY concept that is not specifically related to the communication they received, or they will be considered to be tampering with said website. Each member shall be able to present to their “Friends”, ANY concept that they wish to have enacted into law, UNLESS SUCH CONCEPT IS COMMERCIALLY MOTIVATED OR THEOLOGICALLY, AND OR RACIALLY, EXCLUSIONARY; ANY dissemination of commercially motivated or theologically and or racially, exclusionary concepts on said website shall be considered an act of tampering with said website; In the event that any “Friend” agrees that such concept should be enacted into law, said “Friend” shall vote for it in the simple manner readily supplied with their receipt of the transmission of said concept, and they shall then present the concept to their other “Friends” so that they too can vote on it. In the event that ANY concept should receive HALF of the number of votes required to enable it to be put on the ballot to be legally enacted as law, there shall be within Twenty Four hours of it reaching said number of votes, an announcement made in a particular section of said website that is ALWAYS easily accessible to ANY member of the voting public that is using said website, and which is devoted solely to the act of clearly and efficiently announcing such an event, so that the entire voting public can be aware of it as quickly as possible to consider it and decide on whether or not they wish to take any action in regards to it. In the event that ANY concept shall receive the FULL number of votes required to enable it to be put on the ballot to be legally enacted as law, it shall automatically be directly presented on said website, within Twenty Four hours of it reaching said number of votes, to each member of the voting public that will see it on their ballot to be voted upon in the nearest upcoming election, so that they can have as much time as possible to properly consider it before voting on it. Furthermore, the ability of ANY and ALL members of the voting public to alter their list of “Friends” shall be limited to one change per calendar year, except in the case of the loss of life to anyone registered as one’s “Friend”; said one change per calendar year may include the exchange of any number of existing “Friends” for that of new “Friends”, so long as said change occurs within a single act of transmitting one’s updated list of “Friends” to the mechanisms that actually update said website. Furthermore, ANY act of disseminating ANY personal information gathered by said website, for ANY reason, by ANY party who has not been specifically given signed, written consent to use such information for the EXACT purpose that they are disseminating it, by those people about whom said information is in reference to, shall be considered an act of tampering with said website by those parties who have disseminated said personal information without being given said signed, written consent; Furthermore, other than that of their agreement to use said website lawfully, and or to contractually gain access to the internet through a paid internet service provider, provided that said contract in NO WAY makes ANY stipulation as to ANY ability to freely access and fully utilize said website, no member of the voting public shall EVER be lawfully required to give their signed written consent to ANYONE for ANY REASON, as a requirement of their being able to freely access and fully utilize said website. Furthermore, ANY CITIZEN of the Unites States of America who is found guilty of tampering with said website and or said website’s ability to be Transmitted, Viewed, and Fully Functional, shall be guilty of the non-pardonable crime of Treason which will result in a minimum sentence of Twenty Years spent in the general population of the nations most dangerous prison, unless such sentence is overturned by a two thirds majority of the voting public. ANYONE who is not a citizen of the United States of America who is found to be guilty of Tampering with said website and or said website’s ability to be Transmitted, Viewed, and Fully Functional, shall be considered a Sovereign Enemy of the State, who is attempting to overthrow the government of the United States of America, and will be subject to the sentencing that shall be decided by a simple majority of the voting public of the United States of America. Furthermore, said website shall be fully operational and available for use as described above, within Six months of that which is contained within this document becoming amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. In Conclusion: In consideration of the single matter of TRUTH and FREEDOM - for as it regards the governance and interaction of mankind there shall not be one without the other, and of the FACT proven by history and current events, that competence and justice invite discourse, while incompetence and corruption prefer misleading rhetoric and prohibition, Raphael Sidelman by Raphael Sidelman (6 articles, 0 quicklinks, 1 diaries, 40 comments [16 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Friday, Aug 22, 2008 at 12:50:03 PM
