An agrievance to the Congress of the United States of America, We The People find these truths to be self evident that the Congress of the United States, the White House and Federal Reserve have betrayed their public trust and oath to We The People, that legislation passed at the urgent direction of party leaderships either Republican or Democrat have left the American Public in an oppressive debt of enormous and insurmountable resolution, that the loss of the Pursuit of Life liberty and Happiness are no longer valid claims upon the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration Of Independence and the Bill of Rights, That legislation passed in silence and without knowledgeable debate have left the American people with onerous laws and severe losses of liberties once guaranteed by our original founding documents, That We The People must hand the congress an article they must hear and understand.
Be it therefore resolved that We The People Do hereby deliver and demand that: An article to the Constitution of the United States of America be read and considered for passage by the Congress of the United States of America that:
- “No elected or temporarily appointed officeholder to an elected office of either the House of Representatives or Senate shall submit a vote either Aye or Nay on a bill or body of legislation without having first read the bill or body of legislation in it's entirety before levying a vote on such legislation. If it is determined that said elected representative votes on legislation without reading and understanding the impacts of that legislation on the elected members' constituency and the voting american tax payer, and that it is not in the best interest of the constituency rather a special interest group or policy or political view not popular with that constituency or The American Taxpayer as a whole, that the elected or appointed representative is subject to immediate recall by their respective constituency by a 2/3 rd vote of no confidence, and loss of all rights and privileges of that office including but not limited to government pensions. If it is determined that the elected member or appointed official was told that reading of the bill was not allowed prior to a vote, that body of legislation is then null an void and becomes a dead bill. That We the people are not subject to blind legislation nor shall we be, that legislation previously passed in this manner is subject to recall and reconsideration or mandatory sunset i,e, nafta, cafta, gatt, the Patriot Act ad nauseum. This text for consideration is a demand that elected officials to these high offices are there for the people's work and that not reading legislation they vote on is dereliction of duty punishable by dismissal from office. So say we All!”
