      Preface

      The following is intended to inform all Americans that there is a way forward toward more effective and representative government. Politicians can be motivated to represent us, the political parties can be made to reflect the grassroots and partisanship can be replaced with compromise toward efficient governance. People can come first!

      How to accomplish this is simple enough to be outlined in this short document.

      It will not be easy however, and this document is also intended to arouse your desire to act to spread your new awareness as that is our first step.

      The topic is necessarily dense as the problem is complex in its manifestation so each portion is broken into a short chapter. Depending on your appetite, it may be best to digest each separately.

      If you would like a brief overview, turn to the For Review chapter first, then fill in later

      We are considering amending the Constitution which requires significant reflection as well as significant action, so pause occasionally and reflect. Then act.

      Why a Revolution?

      How do we create a political system that better serves the American citizen? How can we end the control of Big Money and the Party bosses of our political economy?

      Who can deny that in a representative democracy we must all have an inherent right to equal representation at the ballot box and fair representation from those elected?

      Our political system has become so broken and partisan that it has lost its ability to govern for the future and to make difficult present decisions to avoid future catastrophe.

      We've entered a self-reinforcing feedback loop with governmental dysfunction eroding the public trust which further weakens the structures of government, which increases the dysfunction, spiraling down.

      Our gridlocked political system ignores potentially disastrous problems of which politicians are fully aware. This includes national healthcare, Social Security, the national debt, growing income inequality and not last, climate change. This level of near total political dysfunction is unsustainable for our nation. The only way we can solve any of these issues is to solve simultaneously the failure of our political system to represent the American citizen and our long term interests.

      As a self-governing democracy in crisis, it is now our task to demand the mechanism to create a more functional and representative political system with which we can solve the problems facing our great nation and ensure our future.

      The very fabric
