Action

Here are some steps for action. These can be tweaked for efficiency, but the goal of american freedom & justice need to be central. This is not organized or finalized, but is in the brainstorming phase. Clarifications & corrections are welcome & necessary. Some of these are a 'wish list' of ideas, & not all can or should be implemented.

1. Unconstitutional overreaches. They have been increasing for decades, & need to stop. These alone are justification for reform. Add the corruption, the continuing decline of the currency, & the reasons are too many to ignore.

2. A growing & vocal core of americans who raise awareness & demand a return to the constitution. National & state leaders should be calling for reorganization.. another constitutional convention, or a military coup.

3. The military has not followed it's prime directive, to defend the constitution, from all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. The 3 branches of govt have been complicit in ignoring the law of the land, & they need to be held accountable.

4. All govt assets should be frozen, all military assets brought home, & this matter resolved. The military has nation building means to manage the currency, & a military board can hold temporary power. This is a risky action, & depends on the integrity of the board, to see a true citizen representative govt. It will be important to have a clear objective, which the military can operate under, & a balance of power, so no single entity gets too much authority. Transparency & accountability to state legislatures & joint responsibility with state militias can help ensure this. The states & local govts can continue their law enforcement, & work together in interstate matters, while the federal departments are being reorganized.

5. All govt bureaucracies cut, with a systematic dismantling of all unconstitutional programs. The constitution is to be followed literally, & not 'interpreted' in any new way. Law is clear, & does not need a 'modern interpretation'. Once the constitution is restored as the law of the land, it can be modified in the manner provided by law.

6. A complete audit of all govt. Assets seized from any corrupt officials, or from fraud or cronyism. Strict enforcement of law. This is JUSTICE.

7. Assignment of a transparent, state representative board to oversee the federal reserve & the currency. Clear & urgent steps taken to stop the ruin of the dollar, inflation, & economic meddling.

8. Phasing out of all federal overreaches.. anything NOT specifically given to the feds by the constitution is assumed to be within the jurisdiction of the states.  In other words, follow the 10th amendment.

9. Citizen militia. Much of the federal military should be disbanded, & assets distributed among the state militias. Enough should be retained to provide sufficient defense in the current global climate.  Follow the constitution.

10. Washington DC should be dissolved, & distributed to the surrounding states. The central govt should be relocated to a more central national location, with fewer assets & responsibilities.

11. Clarify & simplify the role & responsibility of the federal govt. Address the goal of 'citizen representatives', & the problem of a professional ruling class of elite politicians. Term limits for all should be considered, as well as very limited compensation for public service. Public servants should not be enriched through public service.

12. Immediate dissolution of all branches of govt. All senators, congressmen, federal judicial employees, & all executive branch employees dismissed. Their assets should all be frozen until their services have been audited. A revised compensation, based on minimum wage, should be paid for their work, & any waste, fraud, or corruption punished & restitution made.

The french revolution was about liberty, equality, fraternity. But it failed to deliver because of mob rule & dictatorial leaders. To succeed, we must keep the 'mission statement' of the constitution & the declaration of independence clearly in the forefront. Every reform should be viewed through the filter of promoting liberty or justice. This is a huge undertaking, & will take a lot of manpower, & time.  But reform is long overdue, so we might as well get started.

Immigration.
Any illegal aliens here should go home. We have problems in our own nation, with our own citizens, & do not have the time or resources to obsess over any individual problems. We have enough of our own. If our return to a constitutional republic brings civil unrest, you don't want to be here, anyway. If you have the vision for america, & want to help fight to take it back, i would give my support for citizenship for any who help with this cause.

Welfare State.
The federal welfare state is ending. It is unconstitutional, & is a state responsibility, not a federal one. The feds will begin to dismantle the administration of these programs, & any infrastructure & organization transferred to the states. Federal revenues will be cut, so if states want to provide the same level of services, they can raise revenues to do it.  But the feds are broke, & the gravy train is over.  Make the necessary preparations.

Public debt.
We can offer our sincere apologies to holders of our public debt, but interest payments will have to be suspended while the nation reorganizes. We can offer assurances that we will resume repayment of the public debt after our financial house is in order.

Consequences.
Global & national recession & economic uncertainty. The markets will be understandably nervous, but they should take courage that we are finally facing our fiscal responsibilities. A balanced budget will be required, as well as a stable currency that reflects the true production of the nation. It can be tied to hard assets, or oil, or other commodities. Chicken littles will flourish, & profiteers will too. It will be important to urge people to work & produce as usual, even increasing production. The markets will stabilize, & confidence will return. As the new govt is assembled, simple, fair, constitutional regulations can be implemented to encourage economic growth.
