To return accountability and common sense to government, secure the right of every individual to be free and independent, and salvage the America that is the last best hope of freedom on earth. There was a dream that was America, and it shall be fully realized.
THE PURPOSE OF OUR ACTIONS
To restore individual Americans to their rightful positions as Sovereigns and superiors over government, use the Internet and modern technologies to enable them to participate like never before, and lead them in the exercise of sufficient control over government. Influence over government shall be shared among all the people.
A SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL IDEA
We the People, who must live under the laws passed by our representatives in Congress, should have input into their design and implementation. We are Sovereigns, after all, and the only legitimate purpose of government is to protect our basic rights and keep oppression off our backs so each of us has the opportunity to succeed and live the good life.
OUR OBJECTIVES
1. Invite, orchestrate and lead mass collaboration projects that exercise sufficient control over government. These mass projects include:
Developing an EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS that contains basic principles, policies and procedures that must guide their behavior as our representatives, and getting every one of them to sign formal acknowledgements that they have read and fully understand everything in it.
Performing Government Oversight to monitor the official actions of every Member of Congress and compare them to the basic principles, policies and procedures in the Employee Handbook. We’ll keep track of their voting records and make this vital information available to all Americans.
Giving each Member of Congress an annual performance review every October, to let them know if We the People think they are doing a good job or not. If their actions are consistent with the basic principles, policies and procedures in the Employee Handbook, they’ll get a positive review and will be more likely to keep their jobs. If not, they’ll get a negative review. Either way, we’ll put them on notice if they need to correct their behavior in certain ways.
Maintaining a political hit list containing the names of all Members of Congress who received negative performance reviews and/or refused to correct their behavior as requested. This will allow individual Americans to self-organize in order to fire them in the next election.
Listing all the problems our government fails to solve, identifying the root causes of each, and finding the solutions that get the best results.
Setting public policy goals and plans to give our representatives strategic direction.
Developing actual language for legislative and regulatory reforms that will benefit all Americans equally.
Hiring a lobbying team for the American people, and then organizing and coordinating lobbying activities to pass and implement these reforms.
2. To help individual Americans exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, we’ll deliver truth, common sense, leadership and Web services that enable social networking, community-building, self-organizing and mass participation in:
Educating individuals in basic American principles and history.
Increasing transparency by performing Government Oversight and reporting news of its actions and proposals.
Maintaining an ongoing dialogue with individual Americans by delivering opinion-editorial commentary focused on whether or not current government actions and proposals are consistent with basic American principles and history. Actions that are consistent with basic American principles and history will be judged good and worthy of our support. Those that are inconsistent will be judged bad and worthy of our opposition.
3. Invite and lead mass collabortion projects that produce videos, documentaries and other works of art that get our messages of freedom and independence out there.
We want millions of Americans to participate in government this way and, as a Collaboration of Sovereigns, we will invite and include members of Congress and their staffs in this collaborative process.
This is the only way to break the undue influence and power of special interests, correct constitutional abuses and bring genuine, measurable accountability to our government.
OUR NON-PARTISAN NATURE
Our central organizing ideas and principles are those articulated in the Declaration of Independence and other writings of our Founding Fathers. These ideas and principles are American, not partisan. This movement is therefore non-partisan and open to everyone. We’re all Americans, and each one of us was born to be free and independent.
This is a time for bold action.
We the People are Sovereigns, not subjets. Let’s start acting like it.
