Manifesto

We, the People, hereby invoke our First Amendment Right; the right of the people...to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Having exhausted all of the other tools available within the Constitution of the United States; we have no further regress to consider, beyond our means in keeping with peace and nonviolence, than to amend the Constitution or to consider it completely dissolved.

Knowing full well that changes of the magnitude and reach proposed here will require a unified proletariat engaging in civil disobedience beyond any scale that has ever been seen before in the history of the United States. We, stand united, in our unwavering conviction. Until the legislation presented here is fully enacted we will begin a general strike and then march and rally upon the steps of our own Capitol on the 5th of November 2011 and shall not cease until our grievances are resolved.We cannot expect Congress to reform themselves, so we the people will do it for them.

Our fore fathers knew well that "..power corrupts, and society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.."and so too does the perception of impropriety. This is is what inspired these men, to ensure that American Democracy should be protected from plutocracy when proposing limits on elected public servants lest they be beholden to special interests and not their constituents.

U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 9

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State.



The modern world in which we inhabit is for all purposes devoid of vast monarchist rule. Our forebears lived in a dramatically different age and time when wealth and with it power, was concentrated amongst a royal oligarchy. Although our age and time may be different and the role of "titles of nobility" or "royalty" have been effectively dismantled; the concentration of wealth and power still resides within a select few plutocratic oligarchy. Effectively, this new "royalty" exists because of wealth and the concentration of wealth.

Clearly the words were written for their day but the spirit of those words still live and must be defined in a modern world. The modern translation should read, be amended and ratified as follows:



"...no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, MONIES, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, foreign state, Political Action Committee, corporation, firm, union, association, university, charity or any other business entity."

It has become increasingly alarming and quite clear that our elected public servants no longer serve the best interests of their constituents but rather these few plutocratic corporate oligarchs. Although there are some, albeit very few; good, decent and honest public servants; the vast majority of Congressional members serve at the behest of this plutocracy purely for the purposes of re-election.

Reflecting upon this, we, as united citizens, are left with no further recourse than to reign in this plutocratic oligarchy and return this, the grandest of experiments, to the original Democracy our Constitution envisioned. Although the times and age have changed dramatically and many of the sins of our past have been rectified we must still, and forever, continually strive to better, not only ourselves, but also our Democracy and keep with the spirit of those original words and amend our founding document like every generation has before it.

Therefore we demand that the following Bills and Constitutional Amendments be enacted immediately and signed into law:

Congressional Reform -

General Strike & Rally

If you, as a citizen of the United States, support the previous legislation, then We ask that you stand united and unwavering with your fellow Americans for as long as it takes for this legislation to become law. On the 5th of November, 2011 we will begin a General Strike where no one will go to work or school. No business will be conducted in any form until our grievances are heard and acted upon. No one will return to work or school or will conduct any business of any form for the duration of the strike.

We also ask that each American travel to Washington DC to march and rally upon our Capitol and to meet face-to-face with your elected Congress members. If you are unable to travel to Washington then we ask that you march and rally on your local state house or city hall.

This will take a tremendous sacrifice on all of our behalves. We may lose money and even our jobs but that is little compared to what we continually lose every day Congress is not reformed. We must look to the brave people of the middle east who lost their lives; many were beaten and lost all that they possess but they stood firm and received the greatest gift of all....Freedom.

We have, for far too long, taken our Freedom for granted and it's time we took it back.

Remember, remember the fifth of November

Congress' Treason and Plot

I see no reason why Congress' Treason

Should ever be forgot...
