When the American people extend aid to a specific nation or community, the source of that aid must be identified. The generosity of the American people must no longer remain concealed from those who benefit from our assistance. Consequently, Congress must enact legislation requiring the Constitution to be “prominently displayed” within all institutions that receive funding from the U.S. Treasury. This measure aims to reinforce, for both the recipients and the broader community, that their support originates from the American people. Congress must acknowledge the compassion and financial contributions of the American people for those who need our help. In essence, if aid is accepted, it must be recognized as deriving from the largess of the American people. Thus, acknowledgment, reciprocity, respect, and gratitude must be required as prerequisites for any aid provided.
Furthermore, I strongly encourage Congress to stipulate that all non-financial assistance, rendered by the United States, utilizing resources from the U.S. Treasury, be distinctly marked as “Originating from the People of the United States.” This labeling would publicly acknowledge the collective approval of the American people in endorsing various programs and initiatives.
By implementing these provisions, beneficiaries of public funds will cultivate a deeper understanding and respect for the American people and the Constitution that has given so generously in support of their way of life. This proposal is consistent with the American people’s commitment to promote transparency, accountability, and civic engagement among those who benefit from our association.
The issue of “branding” transcends partisan divisions, as all Americans contribute to the U.S. Treasury and are impacted by its management. Ensuring that individuals are aware of their benefactors is not a matter of political discourse. It is a matter of honesty.
