A PEACEFUL REVOLUTION

A PEACEFUL REVOLUTION
A Peaceful Revolution ( Rough Outline)

It must be absolutely peaceful, we must carry no weapons, not even a short length of broomstick: our signs and chants should not be offensive. ( We should be inclusive, not divisive )

We must be many, and persistent; starting with a small crowd but constantly growing is OK, that could even be more effective. ( No revolution was ever finished in one day. )

We should not resist the police, ( they are only trying to do their duty, ”hopefully” ), there are of course, bad cops. Our best defenses are cameras and cell phones.

If others shout insults at us, just smile and wave to them, or simply ignore them; if they physically attack, get loud and take pictures and video. Do not fight back.!! ( Getting loud will make sure the police know there is a problem; Video and still pictures provide evidence. )

______________________________________________________________________________

Our demands must be realistic, reasonable and Fair.


Edit: Sunday 6th March
STOP THE DRONES NOW!!!! This requires nothing from Congress. Only the command from our President!!

Restoration of our democratic republic;

Reverse CITIZENS UNITED. (Congress or SC)

The Fair Elections Now Act. ;

One person one Vote ;

A simple progressive tax structure ;

Contracts must be in plain simple language, without any deceptive fine print;

Truth in advertising;


The above are all realistic, reasonable and fair. ( IMHO )

ARE CORPORATIONS PERSONS ??

DOES OUR CONSTITUTION EVEN MENTION, ARTIFICIAL PERSONS ??

What is a corporation? [ Wikipedia ]

(The following is taken directly from Wikipedia, no text is modified, I have emphasized a few phrases with square brackets and 1 wrong two letter word, not misspelled, just obviously wrong word.)

A corporation is an entity created by people as a method to pool capital and socialize liability. This text focuses on business corporations, which are created for profit. A corporation can also be created for other reasons. Many churches and charities are established as non profit corporations. Many government entities take a corporate form. Whatever its purpose, a corporation has several unique features under the law.
1.Individuality. Corporations are legal entities. They can theoretically last forever: some corporations have been in continuous operation for hundreds of years. A corporation is also treated like a [person for many (but not all) legal purposes.] It can enter into contracts under its own name, it can sue or be sued, and it has many of the same constitutional rights enjoyed by natural persons.
2.Separation of ownership and control. A corporation used to [by] owned by shareholders, but, as it increased in size and shareholders became dispersed at the turn of the 20th century, it became controlled by a board of directors. While shareholders vote on the board of directors, [in practice, board members are selected by other board members] who then manage the corporation. The board has a fiduciary duty to the corporation as a whole, not just shareholders. Shareholders can also freely transfer their interest in the corporation, which is known as stock.
3.Limited liability. Under normal circumstances, shareholders cannot lose any more than the amount of their investment in the corporation. If creditors demand more than the corporation can pay, the shareholders' personal assets are usually safe.

Are 9 SCOTUS politically appointed judges representative of the will of over 300 million citizens or their interpretation of the Constitution? I am inclined to say no. Even with senate sanction/approval this still leaves law subject to current political temporary power. Although mutable, law should be consistant with the will of the people (which caused the Constitution to be written in the first place) or the law will be rejected/ignored by the populace affected in toto. Just look at marijuana laws for a perfect example. Have financially/politically motivated marijuana/drug laws led to greater respect for the rule of law or less? Any informed thinking person would give a definite NO!

Two suggestions:

1) Expand the court to 19 judges,

2) When a vacancy on the court appears have each state proffer a candidate. These are then thoroughly vetted & investigated by the DOJ Then the field is reduced to 3 candidates through a vote in the house. The top vote winner gets a straight up or down vote from the Senate.

The bottom line is presidents alone should not have sole authority over who is selected as candidates for the third branch of government.

The following: is a post of Art_emisia, posting two days ago, which I found helpful.

(( I'm taking my 14 year old son to the Boston rally tomorrow! I've been waiting for this.

Progressives should take this as an opportunity to also rally around words, to present a clear, unified message that is easily understood. It's not really unions vs. the Tea Party, or public sector vs. the private. It's 98% of ordinary, hardworking Americans vs. corporate greed and corporate lies. Elevate the discussion to this one, overarching issue. Corporate malfeasance is what got us here, and THEY should take responsibility and we have the RIGHT--and the POWER--to demand that they play fair and to set the playground rules.

Rule #1: no more buying of government influence. Fair elections, public-funded...I swear to you that it will be a bargain!

Rule # 2: no more tax dodging. PAY YER DARN FAIR SHARE OF TAXES. Fair taxes!

Rule #3: no more covert propaganda. The 1st amendment does not protect deceptive advertising. DISCLOSE, and no more corporate personhood! When a corporation can goes to jail for breaking the law, then we'll think about that one. Jeez.

Rule #4: The public gets to set public policy, based on access to truth. Period. ))
