It is not about writing letters to elected officials or voting some good person into office who will do the right thing.
True Citizenship is about the Ratification or Annulment of each line of every law, rule and regulation 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 made this observation and furthered commented that: "a general lack of accountability among elected officials and those in the bureaucracy is the one specific reason that the people in America suffered…. and the only way to hold them accountable is to inspect their work."
Now, it is a known fact that the voting members of the US Congress and the State Legislatures do not have enough time to read or debate the particulars contained in any of the typically 100 new laws they vote on each day, every five minutes, while in session.
Approximate facts for example:
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.
d. Many laws are in excess of two thousand pages.
e. The math demonstrates that the "democratically elected representative" does not have the time to even read the name of the Law much less the content of it.
f. And since the duly elected Representative is incapable of evaluating 200 thousand pages of law speak per day they have all forfeited their delegated obligation to represent us.
So, the only way to prevent these over worked and fallible people from making some 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 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.
Ross Perot went on to note that this can easily be done with computers and he called the program: THE ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL, and said, "it is only logical that it will become our Fourth Branch of Government".
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:
g. We, the People, could actually direct the priorities 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.
Why shouldn’t your vote really count?
We can acquire the text of a recent law or Supreme Court ruling and have AI parse its actionable elements, apply a questionnaire so that the concerned Citizens can Ratify or Annul it. Then distribute the links.
Can I make money with this?
Websites with traffic can put up the laws they find most egregious for Ratification or Annulment, probably charge a $1 or so per voter for doing it, and watch the evolution in real time.
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 result 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.
