Chapter One "An Open Letter to Congress"
Dear Members of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Represetatives,
please recognize the fact that the majority of "We The People" have lost faith in you and your ability to seperate your personal goals and aspirations, the goals and aspirations of your political parties and the goals and aspirations of your major donors from your duties to uphold the Constitution, the laws of the land and most importantly the sacred trust that your constituents have placed upon you by electing you to office.
Recent election cycles should have shown you this but many of you have chosen to attack the American people as uneducated and uniformed, claiming that we just "do not understand the issues". We are here to tell you that it is you who "do not understand", you have been elected to your post to represent us not yourself, your donors and your party.
There are a series of steps that you will have to engage in before our trust is restored in you, in many cases, you the incumbant will never regain that trust and it is time for you to step aside and allow another to take your place.
The Founding Fathers did not envision career politicians when they created our system of government. They envisioned a government of the people, dominated by the working classes, this has been perverted into a den of professional politicians who are only mindfull of their own re-election.
The first thing you must do is clean up the legislative process, return it to it's origins of being simple and pure, will it ever be perfect, no it will not, nothing ever is. Make your bills understandable and take the time to read them before you vote. Progress is not simply change, but change for the better. What our system has been turned into in the name of progress is and endless morass of legalese and subterfuge that no one can understand, yourselves included.
Your second task will be to impose ethics on yourselves that will enable us to trust your motives and then to enforce those ethics.
Several other tasks will be required and I will not outline them here, this will be a good start for you but I doubt that many of you will take the call.
More to follow:
