Time For A New Government

Time For A New Government for 

The United States of America

by Mike Farris

 

Rough Draft for a New Government Created for The People of The United States of America 

Governments exist to support the Rights of the People

 

Governments exist only through the power of the People that they represent. When a government fails to protect the God-given rights of the People, and removes the involvement of the People, the People have the right to change their government in a way that will allow for their unalienable Rights to be

protected. 

 

Governments should not be overthrown for trivial reasons; as it is not typical for people to change a system that they are accustomed to.

However, when the people have suffered many abuses under the control of a two party system, they not only have the right... but also the duty to reform that government and upgrade that government to work equally for ALL the people of The United States of America!

One of the biggest problems with the U.S. Government is that it is now designed for two parties and it should be designed for three parties in order for the Government to work for all The People Equally!

For decades now these two parties have been fighting for government control and costing We The People Trillions in Tax Dollars for these two parties to continually fight for who they think is right and who is wrong and who gets control... it has been very very costly in both money and lives and it has to stop and stop now! The US National Debt Clock

Send people to Washington who will amend the Constitution to allow a third party to represent We The People.

It would be nice to have a government where you don't have two parties fighting over who has the right to tell you how to live your life. A government designed to work for you, the people, as it was intended and not for the rich to get richer! Term limits of six years on ALL public office... including the U.S. Supreme Court. Never re-elect anyone. Public service is a brief civic duty, not a career.

Alternate the election of President, House, and Senate every two years so we would always have experienced people in office. Make voting simple and easy by voting online with a unique ID and Password issued by the Voter Registrar. People without Internet access can go to a polling station. Non-citizens are never allowed to register to vote or receive any benefits.

In a true Republic Government there would be three parties, Democrats, Republicans, and We The People, or in other words a Servant Government that would work for all with zero parties in control. The change would start with the top 3 branches in the government, ie... President, Senate and House of Representatives.

Starting with the Presidency, no more one party as President and Vice President. All three parties run for president, the winning party becomes president, first runner up becomes senior vice president, and the second runner up becomes vice president. No need for the Electoral College. (what good are they anyway?... they don't even have a football team) LOL

No more One Party Presidencies. All Pardons, Security Issues, Firings, Wars, and true National Emergencies would now have to be approved by two of the three parties in this office!

 

No need to send more than 300 people to D.C. to work for the American people. This would eliminate the gerrymandering Congressional districts.

The Senate will have 150 members, 50 Democrats, 50 Republicans and 50 Constitution Party and this will always be! One of each party from each of the 50 states. The Senior Vice President would the President of the Senate and tie-breaker.

The House of Representatives will have 150 members, 50 Democrats, 50 Republicans and 50 Constitution Party and this will always be! Three of each party from each of the 50 states. The Vice President would preside as Speaker of the House. No need for the House to elect a Speaker.

Now there is no reason to fight for control of The United States of America and the elected officials can now work taking care of our country as it was meant to be when the Constitution of The United States was created Of The People! By The People! For The People!

No permanent residence in D.C. at taxpayer expense. Congress shall be in session from January 20th to March 20th to conduct The People's Business. Representatives and Senators shall be paid per diem, then go back home. Travel expenses shall be restricted to two trips per year.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

 

All official's finances should be audited at the beginning and end of their public service. If anything is found to be dishonest gain, they are required to make restitution or go to prison.

 

Elected officials would be paid the average wage of the people they represent. Example: The 2017 nominal median income per capita was $31,786. The mean income per capita was $48,150. The Census Bureau reports those in the Current Population Survey, Table PINC-01. Real median household income was $61,372.

Move all federal retirement funds to a Social Security fund that pays interest. Make elected officials, and federal employees, retire on the same system as the rest of Americans.

Reduce the size of the Federal government by half. Abolish property tax, Federal and State Income taxes and go to a flat tax of 10% on consumer purchases collected at point of purchase (the tax preparers industry can find honest work). Retain just enough Revenue Agents to make sure businesses remit all tax dollars to the treasury departments. (3% to Federal, 3% to State, 2% to County, and 2% City) If God can get by on 10% so can government. In addition, tariffs would create enough revenue to run the government. Tariffs serve dual purposes: they generate revenue for the government and protect domestic industries.

Replace the Federal Reserve System (a privately owned loan shark operation which has never been audited) with a United States Treasury System operated by Americans for Americans. Exchange Federal Reserve Notes for U.S. Treasury Currency backed by gold and silver reserves. Put a cap on spending and reckless borrowing.

 

Active duty military should be reduced and each State have a well trained National Guard for defense of the Nation. Reduce the number of military bases in foreign countries. Stay out of other countries' conflicts and no money for wars. War is a Racket

The Two Houses of Congress
Congress is divided into two chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives.The Senate is sometimes called the upper chamber and the House the lower chamber because the Founders thought that different sorts of people would be elected to these two bodies.

While a census of the nation was not completed until 1790, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that there were about 2.5 million people living in the United States' original 13 States in 1776. Since then the nation has grown to more than 300,000,000 people in 50 states and Territories as of Jul 3, 2016. 

 

 

We The People are America. Unless WE change, America will not change. Unless we are willing to demand absolute honesty, absolute unselfishness, and absolute love in our lives and in our relationships and responsibilities, America, the land of the free, will lose her freedom because We The People no longer have the moral courage and spiritual values to maintain a Constitutional Republic.

Politicians and diapers should be changed often... and for the same reason.

In 2008 I ran for President as an independent candidate on the above platform. My main opponents were John McCain (R) and Barack Obama (D), neither one was qualified to be President.  

 

I was not qualified either. I ran to make a point. Any honest citizen can do a better job than professional politicians. I did not kiss one baby, shake one hand, make one speech, or accept one cent. I run my campaign from home on my laptop. I receive 1331 votes. Obviously, there are other Americans who want honest government. 

What politicians mean by "democracy" is OUR rule over you. 

 

No matter who we elect to office, the "criminals, gangsters, thieves, murderers, and God-haters" will try to take over. It is We the People who must demand good government. Because of God's promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14, America has been given a reprieve for her past sins. Donald Trump is not the "savior" of America. The only way America will heal is for the majority of Americans to honor and obey Yahweh, the creator God and sustainer of the universe.
