06/26/2016 Changes required to being a Democratic Republic

Important White House Petitions; let's talk about a three legged stool too return the United States too being a democratic republic:

The electoral college is a relic. It's time to let the people choose the president.

The electoral college insures that there will only be two political parties.

Another problem is the severe imbalance between the less populated states and the densely populated states.

The Constitution specifically states a candidate for President or Vice President must receive a majority of the electoral votes to win (currently 270). If there is a tie (or a third or fourth party siphons off enough votes) then the process gets even less democratic, since Congress would be in charge of electing the president.

In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote by approximately 500,000 votes. However, due to the Electoral College, the person with fewer votes won — George W. Bush.

Signatures needed to return to one person one vote and reasonable publicly funded elections; frequently used to describe political campaigns funded by the government rather than private individuals and organizations.

United States public referendum to eliminate election donations; Public funding of elections.

The phrase publicly funded elections is frequently used to describe political campaigns funded by the government rather than private individuals and organizations.

This will mean democracy will return on a one person one vote basis.

This will mean any voter can run for elected office.

United States must hold a national public referendum for getting to a one person one vote format with no gerry-mandering.

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled on April 4, 2016 that states may count all residents, whether or not they are eligible to vote, in drawing election districts.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for the court.

“Nonvoters have an important stake in many policy debates — children, their parents, even their grandparents, for example, have a stake in a strong public-education system — and in receiving constituent services, such as help navigating public-benefits bureaucracies,”

“By ensuring that each representative is subject to requests and suggestions from the same number of constituents, total population apportionment promotes equitable and effective representation.”

Thank you for signing the white house petitions before July 24, 2016.

Objectives and Definitions:

Our, "We the Peoples", purpose must be to legally enforce accountability and responsibility in our government by focusing our attention on:

Steps in the Processes:

Understanding, "We the People" are the bosses in this U.S. democratic government. We are actually accountable and responsible for what happens to us when we do or do not become informed with truthful verified facts and vote.

We must understand that national media is 17% to 40% fact and truth based. Most media sources lie about facts and truths 80% of the time. This country needs to return to and enforce the Journalist's Creed.

Our government refuses to enforce the laws equally for all Stakeholders (citizens or people). Currently, it is bought and majority run by Shareholders: adolescent bullying gangs of law breakers. The rich through politicians through bribery, collusion, and corruption (plutocracy and oligarchy).

Critical Terms:

Trust: Confident in the facts and truths shared by a person or thing.

Truth: Undeniable facts and realities; completely accurate and true statement(s).

Accountability: The obligation of an individual or organization to account for its activities, accept responsibility for them, and to disclose the results in a transparent manner. It also includes the responsibility for money or other entrusted property.

Community: a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals. A group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.

Enforcement: The act of compelling observance of or compliance with a law, rule, or obligation. Without enforcement there is no compliance with positive and good norms for how to act toward other people.

Freedom: the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. The state of not being imprisoned or enslaved. Absence of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government.

Government: A group of people that governs a community or unit. It sets and administers public policy and exercises executive, and sovereign power through customs, institutions, and laws within a state or nation.

Justice: just behavior or treatment. "a concern for justice, peace, and genuine respect for people"

Liberty: the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views.

Law: Any written or positive rule or collection of rules prescribed under the authority of the state or nation, as by the people in its constitution for safety and protection of all people.

The principles and regulations established in a community by some authority and applicable to its people, whether in the form of legislation or of custom and policies recognized and enforced by judicial decisions with punishment for those who choose not to change their behaviors toward all people.

Responsibility: A duty or obligation to satisfactorily perform or complete a task (assigned by someone, or created by one's own promise or circumstances) that one must fulfill, and which has a consequent penalty for failure.
