Citizenship is not about writing letters to elected officials or voting some good person into office.
Citizenship is about the Ratification or Annulment of each line of every law, rule, regulation and supreme court decision on the books or that is on the docket waiting to be turned into law, policy and taxes.
During the 1992 Presidential campaign, Ross Perot observed that: "a general lack of accountability among elected officials and those in the bureaucracy is the one specific reason that the people of America suffered…. and our only means of correction is to inspect their work and hold them accountable.”
Mr. Perot went on to note that this can easily be done with computer programs. He called it: THE ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL.
“It is only logical that it will become our Fourth Branch of Government”, he said.
Objective reality:
the voting members of the US Congress and the State Legislatures do not have enough time to read, comprehend or debate any of the laws they vote on. They vote 100 times a day, every five minutes, while in session.
Approximate absolute facts:
a. Every day that the Congress and Legislatures are in session 100
new bills are introduced and distributed.
b. The representatives are given two weeks to review the laws before they are brought up for the Vote.
c. Two weeks into the session they begin voting on the Laws that were previously introduced, while newer laws are introduced.
d. Many laws are in excess of two thousand pages.
e. The arithmetic demonstrates that they do not have the time to even read the name of the Law much less the content of it.
f. Since the Representative cannot evaluate 200 thousand pages of law speak per day, they vote the way their advisors tell them to vote.
g. Thus, they have all forfeited their delegated obligation to represent us.
h. Representative government is obsolete. It does not work for us.
And the only way to prevent these over worked and fallible people from making even more tragic mistakes, from which we, and the rest of the world, might never recover is to include ourselves, The Citizens, from whom the authority for government comes in the first place, in the final decision making process.
The Electronic Congress
How it works:
1. Before a new law, tax, or expenditure can be put on the books it must first be Ratified by the Citizens.
2. Existing laws can be Annulled by the same super majority required to Ratify them.
This program can be applied to every level of government and will ultimately solve every problem we have.
To prevent chaos, the basic law, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, would be exempt from review.
Mr. Perot speculated that the Founding Fathers would probably have done the same had the technology been available in their day.
Just imagine:
We, The People, could actually direct the priorities and review the progress of the major agencies like the: CDC and NIH as well as the libraries and local police departments.
If our government truly is of the people, by the people and for the people then this is the only way forward.
How to implement it:
We talk about it until it is done.
Have AI parse a recent law or Supreme Court ruling into its actionable elements, apply a Ratify or Annul Questionnaire, then distribute the links.
Can I make money with this?
Use AI to parse the laws you find most egregious into their component pieces. And then have it build the ballot / questionnaire along with some demographic background to make the game especially interesting. Charge a $1 per voter per law and watch the evolution in real time.
The Electronic Townhall becomes an active Petition for a Redress of Grievances.
Ask the local school board for their agenda items, have AI parse the actionable elements, create a questionnaire, distribute it to the concerned citizens and then evaluate the results.
When Human Beings made in the image of God can see the results of their noblest and most sober thoughts, at such a scale, then there will be the moment where Our Benevolence and Good Will shall
overcome Evil and then we all live happily ever after.
Ross Perot publicly promised that if the People of America would elect him to The Presidency, he would give us The Electronic Townhall.
The Fourth Branch of Government will allow us to go from Chaos to Prosperity and a Life Worth Living until the end of time.
We were created by God and in the image of God; we are human beings, not animals in a pen.
“ if a Viable Opportunity to defend the Constitution presents itself…”
Perhaps Jesus will return.
Failing Divine Intervention I wonder who would create such an opportunity? Probably not people concentrating on being the best at missile defense or any other job. That is a loyal functionary. Nor the Top Blockers.
Probably not an Officer or Senior NCO.
Author; the order to defend the Constitution is never coming through channels, although millions would follow the one who gave it.
As it happens DC is basically dissolving. This is DC ending. As we aren’t even now a Centralized Government but a Federation, in no way is this the end of America, just the end of the New Deal.
This will create a window perhaps. It ain’t gonna grow balls on no one nor will God write the message in the sky.
Excellent post! America still has some truly great people who lead with integrity and who aim at virtue in whatever they do, as you are an example. For that reason, I think the chickens coming home to roost in the near future, which will overwhelm the old systems and bankrupt the criminal rackets in DC, will ultimately be a good thing, like a forest fire that clears the old, dead debris and makes way for new, vital growth to take its place. Things will not always be as they presently are. The evil empire's reality debt is even worse than the $34 trillion fiscal debt, and it has been deferred about as long as it possibly can be. Something new is coming soon, and when it does, the timeless virtues you write about and exemplify will be in demand like never before.
with all of the “required training” like cyber security, sexual harassment, rape prevention, travel card, etc, not a single bit of training on the constitution.
Thank you for this.
Sadly this is not reserved for the military, one could write the same essay about medicine and substitute "the patient" for "The Constitution."
It is obvious to everyone....
Representative democracy has failed.
We need something new.

This guy looks like Rob Wright dressed as Mr. Wrong.
I get the feeling it will not be long before the Military will be the primary enemy of America. After covid I'm inclined to wonder if it already is.
This 💩. This 💩 pisses me off.
I’m gonna do something about this turd.
In truth, sometimes you gotta make your mark.
