It isn't just the organized criminals in government who beat us down and grind our faces in poverty, but unscrupulous neighbors are also enablers who willfully exploit "situational ethics".

PREAMBLE

TODAY it is a well-known and easily demonstrable fact that the members of the US Congress and the State Legislatures do not read, evaluate or debate any of the particulars of the Legislation they vote on.

They cannot read or debate the issues because, on average, NINE THOUSAND new bills are introduced each year at a rate of fifty-five per day and each Bill can approach 2000 pages of content or more.

Since no one can evaluate ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND pages of Law Speak per day, the elected representative is forced to vote тАЬas per the suggestion of staffтАЭ.

Our Constitutions call for тАШrepresentative government of the people, by the people and for the peopleтАЩ. They do not call for тАШgovernment by staff recommendationтАЩ.

THEREFORE

In order to remedy the UNCONSTITUTIONAL WORKING OF THE GOVERNMENT, it is time to use the available technology of computers for the distribution of the text, and artificial intelligence (AI) for the aggregation of the decisions of up to FIFTY THOUSAND interested, responsible and qualified Citizens, herein referred to as AMPLIFIED VOTERS (AV) to give The People and all of Humanity the opportunity to solve their Governmental problems.

PROPOSAL for a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

A Constitutional Amendment to Accommodate at Least 10 Thousand Citizen Representatives per Congressional District Who Will Actually Read and Evaluate the Existing and Proposed Laws for the Purpose of Ratification or Annulment of Each and Every Line of Law and the Accompanying Enabling Legislation for the Purpose of Perfecting The Law for and in Behalf of The Citizens of the Country.

Those are some interesting thoughts, but The Preamble begins with "We the people of the United States" Which Lysander Spooner pointed out the logical fallacy of the fact that it only applied to the signers of the Constitution. Nobody alive today signed onto it and are technically not a party to it.. The Articles of Confederation preserved State and Individual rights to be inviolate, but were scraped by designing men who preferred a centralized form of government. By the people, of the people and for the people was actually espoused in Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. As it was asserted in the Federalist Papers; "That we hold each man to be the best judge of his own interest". Then nobody should have a higher authority over yourself but God, unless you are in violation of his laws and natural law, both of which the Hippocratic Oath could be applied to. Thou shalt do no harm.

Run away and hide.

If you had a dialogue with God, is that what you would tell him? I think believing something to be true when all evidence seems to contradict it would be more appropriate for escapist. I am of the opinion that nobody escapes God's judgment, and there is nowhere to run and there is no place to hide.

Stand and fight.

When I was a young man who has joined the Army, I wanted to be the best of the best soldiers. I was trained in arms, tactics, munitions, and underwent extensive martial arts disciplines to learn not to rely on weapons, but to become the weapon. Experience taught me how to kill with a punch, a kick, a well placed chop and after many battles, the war never ended. Finally, reaching a place of reprieve, reflecting on those experiences, I know it will never end as long as people continue to harden their hearts towards God and his commandments. Just how many "enemies" would you like me to kill so that you can feel "secure"?
