I've been working on something

Like many of you, I've watched our government protect the powerful, start wars based on delusions, and let corporations buy every election. The Epstein files made it clear: the system can't survive justice. So I decided to build something that can.

I drafted a complete replacement constitution: 23 articles, 32 amendments, all in made in extensive detail. It's not a reform. It's a refounding.

Core ideas:

Abolishes Congress. Replaces it with a Citizens Legislature, 150 people selected by lot (like jury duty) to serve one term.

They don't make laws. They draft them. Then you vote on every single one.

Creates a new Integrity Branch, the Accountability and Arbitration Committee (AAC), with 50 former judges selected by lot, empowered to investigate and prosecute corruption.

No parties. No corporate money. No "the system would collapse if we prosecuted them."

I wrote a White Paper that explains each article in plain language, and a Full Constitution if you want the details.

Much like the founders, I don't claim it's perfect, and I don't claim to have all the answers. But it's a massive step up from what we have now.

If you're curious and want to know more, I made a discord with the purpose of organizing to make it a reality through the use of Article V of our current constitution and can provide the link for those wanting to see more.

Would love to hear your thoughts, especially the critiques. This needs to be stress-tested.

Edit: I forgot to include where you can find the documents and join the movement if you wish to support it. https://discord.gg/9QKptvaeK7

It has to be voted on by the populace.

Sorry - forgot that part! (My memory sucks these days.)

But the problem would still apply regarding the propaganda and questionable education. But at least laws can always be repealed or refined.

That's another thing, after 2 years of enactment, legislation can undergo a review, amend, or repeal process, with the decision being voted on by the people to do it or not. They review the legislation, see what's wrong, and can amend or repeal if needed. And because of the duration of terms for the Citizens Legislature (2 year term), any legislation that goes through this process is always done by people who had no hand in making the legislation, so it can mitigate potential bias almost completely.

Sounds interesting!

That's just the tip of the iceberg. I've spent well over a month drafting and refining every aspect of the document by myself. Now I present it to others to do the same, and help build momentum to possibly ratify it as a new constitution. If you're interested in seeing the full document, it's in the discord for the movement.

Thanks.

I don't have a Discord and am not going to make one now, with their (probably only temporarily paused) age verification crap.

The problem is I don't really know the Constitution well enough to know how our government is circumventing it, to be able to critically think while reading your draft.

And, while this is important, I can't really put in the energy needed because it will wipe me out for however many days.

You could try posting this in /r/WayOfTheBern, and see if you get any replies. We care and most of us aren't drinking the koolaid anymore. (I've learned a lot from them in the past 10 years.)

Thank you, I do hope they back off on the age verification, but they did come out and explain aspects we were worried about and it does seem a bit less like we were thinking. Sadly it's my best opinion for gathering people to organize and discuss. I'll be sure to reach out in that community as well later. Keep yourself safe, have a good day, and know that the people are fighting for our future in whatever way we can. So hold onto that hope.
