These are some things that we think can help. What do you think? How can we make this better? Let's get a discussion started!
We think the best possible solution at this point is an amendment to the Constitution. This is what we have come up with so far:
Any State, or the House of Representatives may, in the interest of any or all of its citizens, prosecute any individual, group, company, agency, body, law, rule, or regulation, in office or effect, for tyranny in the Supreme Court, who shall name investigators with absolute subpoena powers and clearance to all relevant information for testimony, and shall decide with a simple majority. Any person or persons found guilty shall be stripped of office, never again to hold a post of public trust, serve no less than 15 years in prison, and no pardon or clemency shall apply. Any law or rule shall be invalidated and just compensations made to the affected. Agencies or bodies convicted shall be publicly audited for compliance for as long as deemed necessary by the court. Should any or all Justices of the Supreme Court be accused, the Senators shall act as jury, and decide with a two thirds vote.
I. No international law, rule, regulation, treaty, agreement, or court shall be held superior to the Constitution of the United States within its borders. All laws, rules, regulations, authorizations, treaties, and agreements not enshrined in the constitution must be renewed every twenty-five years or stand invalidated and must be written in succinct language so as to be easily understood by the great majority of citizens.
II. The people grant their consent to be governed only to those representatives who are elected or appointed by law to the public seats of government. No power to make any law, rule, regulation, requirement, tax, fine, withholding of funds, collecting of data, printing of monies, selling of bonds, fixing of interest rates, etc... shall be transferred or granted to any unelected individual, group, body, or agency. The courts shall only interpret the law as it is written and relates to each individual case, and authorities must not stand in judgment on issues where they have strong personal ties.
III. No type of information including: DNA, communication, images, sounds, location data, queries, etc... from any citizens private or personal property shall be captured or collected in any way from any source without written sworn consent or a warrant issued by a legitimate public court against an individual, prompted by probable cause. The determination for collection of data in the public spaces shall be left to the many States, or to the people, but no such material shall be sufficient probable cause for arrest or to assess any fine.
IV. No item, grown or produced in any of the states or territories shall be subject to any federal rule, regulation, or tax unless it is produced for sale and physically crosses a border between the states, territories, or of the nation. All private use items not sold or traded, including, but not limited to food, medicines, or other substances, shall be exempted from federal regulation, tax, or control.
V. No power or authority shall be unequally applied, or used to threaten, to thwart, or as a weapon against any person, group, business, State or local government, whistleblower, congressional oversight, potential witness, or political or ideological opponents. No federal group or agency shall employ any permanently based security forces at or for any non international areas of airports, highways, railroads, buses, mass transit systems, or pipelines. All international entry points and boundaries shall be defended from the entry of unauthorized persons or goods, if enforcement agencies are lax or incapable then military forces must be assigned the task until no longer required. No federally purchased military weapons or equipment shall be given, sold, or transferred to any state or local police or law enforcement agencies. No artificial intelligence shall ever be connected to the public spaces of any communication system and must be designed to protect life, and no autonomous vehicle or system shall ever be weaponized in any state or territory of the Union.
VI. No person shall stand for any federal elective office, having served in any elective office for twenty or more consecutive years, with the exceptions of the President and Vice President, and judges. No official, group, body, or agency shall have immunity from any laws, rules, or regulations, nor shall they enjoy any additional benefits or protections if any are imposed upon the people. Any judge may order the instigator of legal action and or their legal representatives, including the state, to cover the costs of the other party if the original action is deemed frivolous, or the issue is pressed through many appeals. All those who bear false witness, or knowingly tell falsehoods in legal proceedings or in public decree shall lose any office and may face any or all penalties associated with the untrue accusation if pressed by the accused.
VII. Congress shall provide for the physical and mental preparedness of the militia. Instruction in the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, good decision making skills, and the use of modern weapons and techniques for the defense of self and community shall be made available to all citizens free of criminal conviction eighteen or older who do not hold religious or moral objections. Any citizen granted permission to carry a weapon of self or public defense, openly or concealed, in any of the many States, shall hold that permission in every State of the Union.
VIII. Congress shall not collect more than ten percent of any individuals, couples, cooperatives, or businesses incomes in taxes at any time. Baring a congressional declaration of war, it must not spend in any one year more than it took in the previous year. Should it find itself in debt at any time, it must use no less than five percent of incomes toward repaying principal on its debts and or sell properties or other assets until satisfied. No other spending or increases shall be mandatory or automatic. All institutions, groups, individuals, or programs that receive public funds not classified as a national security secret shall be audited annually with the results published widely. Any person or group that breaks the public trust by purposely defrauding the generosity of the people, may forever be denied any further public assistance in any form.
IX. Their shall be no lifetime benefits or pensions granted, excepting personal security, to any individual or group with public funds. Any such program must be based on annual compensation and time on the job, and fully funded by each pay period. No employees shall be allowed to collectively bargain for compensation, benefits, or tenure with any publicly funded institution, group, or agency. No group or entity which is protected by law that demands individuals join and pay dues or fees for any job or service may use any of the monies collected to contribute in any way to political or ideological campaigns or movements.
X. No State, agency, group, or individual that receives public monies shall be allowed to discriminate unfairly against or unjustly harass any person or persons for any reason. The right of all persons, or individually, or group owned enterprises to associate with, trade with, or employ whomever they see fit shall not be infringed. The free exercise of religion and patriotism, including their symbols, shall extend into all public areas with no exclusions. No zero tolerance policies shall be in effect at any publicly funded institutions.
