Thanks for the response, this is a great post! You definitely got my vote. This forum needs an advancement mechanism. Merges and proposals are only stacking up, without actually merging or becoming ‘officially supported’ by the forum. The Forum deserves major change to allow for an advancement of popular better worded policy proposals.
Merges seem to go ignored. An option to accept a merge, which would then allow all proposed authors to edit and write policy proposals together, would create a better evolving system on the forum.
Merges should be able to be rejected, if even one of the authors rejects the merge, that merge proposal should fail, and another should have to be made.
Merges should require that all accepting authors finish the editing process together, the merged policy proposal should not be posted until each aut…
Other than my ‘article’ as you commented on;
Thanks for extremely detailed response! Most of these policies/proposals that you suggest are exactly what I was supporting.
Here are some policies I’ve created for more individualized approaches. As I read through the proposals that you have linked me too, I usually change my own proposals to advance their functionality, or I support the better worded, largely supported proposals.
There are small differences in the wordin of certain proposals that I differ on, and thus felt like I was require…
This discussion topic highlights the over-expansion of certain business:
This proposal highlights just how corrupt legislative definitions have got:
These proposals help to highlight the corruption in Congress, in light of pay, terms, apportionment, vacancies, and lobbying:
This would prevent some of their corruption.
We have district representatives in our states. Mine lives in my town and used to run a restaurant.
I believe in, and support the Union of our Several States, the districts and counties that lie therein. The current system of local to state to federal is the perfect form of checks and balancees any government of this millennia. I couldn’t support a union of city states.
A great example of the destabalization that such a concept would bring is the Jacksonian Era State Banks of the 1830s and '40…
Median pay for representatives and senators based on their respective district/state would create financial incentive to increase the standard of living and industry.
It is tough to prove, since many committee members hold closed-door meetings. Once trading is prevented and recusal is required if they own stocks, it should basically go away.
Currently there is no financial cap to what any certain type of entity can lobby for in Congress. Businesses like Casey’s, Walmart, 7-Eleven, Target, Amazon, McDonald’s; all multi-million dollar, multi-national companies that could out lobby a majority of communities, and almost every individual in the auction that is Congress.
Some would say there are certain advantages in funding and accumulating support for a bill through lobbying. In order to keep the benefits on financial incentive for leg…
The 17th Amendment does good, and bad from my point of view. This Amendment opens the Seats of the Senate to General Election by the People, and creates election requirement standardization for multi-chambered State Senates and the Federal Senate.
But, the 17th Amendment allows for the Legislature, be it State or Federal, to have a choice in whether they empower the Executive, be it State or Federal (governor or president), to make appointments to fill the vacancies.
These are the parts of Art…
Several of the Native Tribes and US Territories are not allotted representation in Congress. This is direct violation of the people’s lives, liberties, and overall happiness.
This is also in violation of most of the 370 Treaties between the Native and the US Government. Most of which have been broken.
A Treaty has not been made with a Tribe since 1871.
A New convention of the Tribes must take place, and Treaties fufilled; Representation granted.
An amendment needs to be drafted that protects…
Direct violations of the 1st Amendment:
Key wording ‘their Creator’.
That’s insane. Something like that is happening to me as well. This must be getting ubiquitous!
lol I started a draft too and saw this post too! I was glad I didn’t have to write one lol.
Health related regulation:
Many states, and most definitely the Feds. It needs to be banned globally, but a good start would be to ban it everywhere in the US.
Open state borders for insurance interstate competition. Everyone knows that competition brings down rates. When health insurance companies are limited to one state, the largest of those companies create monolpolies and with no competition, the largest has lower rates and lowest coverage. Citizens deserve freedim of choice deciding what coverage they want and need rather be held hostage by only being able to afford a basic plan and then pay a huge copay, deductable and prescriptions.
Yes, it’s a small step in the right direction
Agreed as well as mandatory financial disclosure for doctors.
Yes transparency on labels without confusing or misleading like natural or natural flavoring , fruit flavored, low-fat, fat free, no additives, low sugar, no trans fat, etc. food labels should be suitable for children to read and comprehend.
Another issue is **expiration dates * text dates; good until….
As consumers we rely on the companies to be honest about the products we’re purchasing, and shouldn’t have to be experts on reading labels before we understand what we’re putting inside and ou…
Agrarian related proposals:
Regulations are too heavy handed and need to be cut back. Sq. footage per bird, vaccine + tagging requirements, non-refundable cost to apply for license, building permits for coops - it’s all absurd. Chickens require very little space.
Think the government should stay out of it as much as possible. In every way raising backyard birds is a far better life than industry reared poultry.
Yes, this would be helpful in many ways besides just providing food. That’s a life skill they would be learning.
Without some sort of mass collaboration, these policy proposals will fall through. Some of these proposals, coming from you and I, would never gain support without a Continental Convention/Federal Ultimatum.
This forum needs to allow policies to merge, author collaboration, and perhaps a forum ‘General Assembly’.
I’ve also had some conversations about it, but have yet to make/see a proposal that supports the dismantlement/deconcentration of Government agencies from the Federal District. Government agencies should adhere to decade long checks, to recharter or dismantle useless government centralization. The Federal DIstrict is also an issue on it’s own-when talking about ‘Corporatocracy’.
