Demand passage of The True Democracy Amendment
The Issue
Here is the full text of The True Democracy Amendment:
Section 1. The Constitution of the United States of America is hereby amended to reaffirm that the Citizens of this nation are, and of right ought to be, the supreme authority in their governance. All Legislative, Executive, and Judicial powers granted herein shall henceforth be subordinate to the Will of the People.
Section 2. The Will of the People shall be expressed in National Policy Decisions. At three-month intervals, a group of seven willing citizens shall be randomly selected to serve on the Caucus. The task of the Caucus shall be to identify to the nation those unresolved issues of great current or future import and to present those issues for deliberation as part of a national policy referendum. The period of deliberation shall be three months and will conclude with a vote. A National Policy Decision shall be deemed to have been made when two-thirds of participating voters affirm the policy or one of the policy options presented.
Section 3. A National Policy Decision directs all subsequent actions by the other branches of government. The Legislature shall formulate laws that faithfully express the Will of the People. The Executive shall efficiently administer those laws. The Judiciary shall rule where there is disagreement as to whether a law (or its administration) faithfully expresses the Will of the People.
Section 4. National Policy Decisions must be implemented within six months. Legislators refusing to act shall be considered in breach of public trust and subject to immediate recall by the executives of their states. The House of Representatives shall exercise the power of impeachment upon any President refusing to act in subordination to the Will of the People. National Policy Decisions may not be challenged in court until two years after implementation
*************************************
This is what the amendment accomplishes:
- Establishes a National Referendum System that allows The Citizenry to select issues of great general concern, determine the national policies that would best address those issues, hold a nationwide referendum on the proposed policies, and have their decisions bind the other three branches to prompt action.
- Formally installs The Citizenry as the fourth and highest branch of the federal government.
- Restores the balance of powers originally designed into our system of government.
- Inoculates the nation from the cancer of party politics.
- Combats vote complacency by giving citizens a meaningful role in their own governance.
- Delivers the sovereignty to We The People that has so long been promised.
- Once again makes the United States of America the "World's Leading Democracy."
