The Uniting Amendment is the comprehensive amendment to the Constitution of the United States written by the citizens of the United States. The document establishes a new foundation to help rebuild our country.
Our current crop of representatives has the lowest approval rating in history, and it's well-deserved. A combination of gerrymandered districts, government-controlled media, lower citizen participation, and a general erosion of values has produced the most corrupt, insular, and ineffective Congress that Washington has ever seen. Those are not the folks we want to pour the new foundation of our 21th Century Reconstruction.
The incompetents we have in Washington aren't up to the task so we're doing it ourselves. We're drafting an Amendment that will reestablish a government that is more fair, more free, and has the integrity and compassion needed to move forward. With input from just a few hundred people, we've already developed many fresh, innovative ideas that solve long-entrenched, difficult problems. The current draft of the Amendment:
- Establishes a simple tax system with a low rate and no exemptions, and which provides more than enough revenue
- Ends poverty with a simple, single fund that provides basic assistance for everyone in need at less cost than what we pay now
- Clearly affirms the right to self-defense in the Second Amendment while keeping guns out of the hands of violent criminals
- Prevents discrimination with equal protection for all groups and individuals
- Solves the immigration issue: those who wish to become Citizens are elected by the people
- Provides a Jury of Citizens' as a check on Supreme Court actions to protect our rights and freedom
- Defines a set of responsibilities and duties for all people
- Protects the right of religious expression and prayer
- Recognizes the right to privacy and ends illegal government intrusions
- Plus anti-corruption provisions, protection for the environment and threatened species, term limits, a balanced budget, limits on Congressional power, and much more.
All this while increasing our liberty and ensuring fairness in society. But the document is far from complete.
