The Uniting Amendment is the comprehensive amendment to the Constitution written by the citizens of the United States. The document establishes a stable foundation to help rebuild our country.
Washington isn'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 that 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
- Definitively affirms the right to possess, use, transport, transfer, buy or sell guns or other weapons
- Prevents discrimination based on sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, genetics, or any other condition not under one's control
- Eliminates arbitrary regulation so people have the liberty to pursue their chosen trade or profession
- Solves the immigration issue: those who wish to move here and become citizens are elected by the people
- Protects the right to learn and teach so curiosity and discovery will no longer be limited by political motives
- Provides a Jury of Citizens as a check on Supreme Court actions to protect our rights and freedom
- Protects the right to control your own body – politicians can't tell us what we can eat, smoke, drink and enjoy
- 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, fiscal responsibility, 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.
If you care about the future of our country, don't just sit there reading – join us. Contribute your ideas on how we can make the country better, freer, and more fair.
