Question

How can we as citizens of the U.S change the course we are on?

Answer 1

Find the organizations online that are working toward these changes, join them, stay abreast of their progress, and participate in their calls to action.

Answer 2

We can trade our lazy and unproductive citizens to Mexico, for people who are willing to work.

Answer 3

I think the best thing for you to do is have another revolution and start from scratch. Burn your constitution and write a new one.

Shoot all politicians, lawyers, journalists and advertising executives.

If that's too hard...just vote them out!

Answer 4

Everybody to the right side of the boat!!!!

Just kidding.

The best way I know how to do it is to vote out all incumbents in the house and senate.There needs to be term limits put in place.Then,call or write your representatives and let them know what you want.If they don't provide it,vote their a$$es out the next time and start again.They would eventually get the picture.Also,we need to start electing judges.These activist judges that are ruling from the bench and ignoring the people's voice need to be removed and put in prison.There should never be,in any circumstance,an instance where a judge can over rule the people's vote.It's wrong and it's dangerous.Not to mention unconstitutional.

I think I'm going to seriously concider moving to the Constitution Party.

Answer 5

1.  We need a national ballot initiative and very badly.  Within that initiative, we can tell congress to find a law school that will write the law that does what we want the law to do.   That-a-way, the law will pass the Supreme Court examination.  THIS will go a very long way to changing the course we are on.

2.  I am beginning to believe we need to remove folks who want to be professional politicians.  Term limits could be reduced to three terms in either body at the national level.  That very thing has been done in other countries and it works very well with a professional Government Work Force doing a majority of the work, and the political forces limited to very major items.  Because we had the National Ballot Initiative, or something like that, we could change almost anything and the Professional Government Work Force would actually work for the people.. for the people!

3.  In the last 100 years, there were Presidents who very seriously wanted to go to war and Congress did not.  Or wanted a bill, and Congress did not.  The power of the President has grown as a result of those efforts, and the power of the President no longer stems from the people... but is .residual. to the office.  It is a power that is inherited in the office.  That. has. to. stop..

4.  We need an electronic method of casting a vote in an opinion poll about once a year.  Nothing binding.. but indicating the course and direction of the people.  That... OR... we need to move Government, in a very large part, back down to the State Level.  The Federal Government has seized a huge amount of power from the States by offering money to the States do do this.. do that.  That money became bribe money too!  It has to stop.

5.  We need polygraphs every year for our Representatives.  At the same time, we need to move lobby groups well away from the people who do power.  We want the Representatives and the Lobby Groups to come to the people... not the reps..... and not to the reps with money!  We hired these guys to work for us... NOT THE LOBBY GROUPS.  Get them out of Washington.
