To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;–And

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

Item One

The American, but foreign owned, Federal Reserve Banking System and its debt sold money, is abolished! It is to be driven from Our Sovereign Territory…never again to darken Our Land and Our Lives.

Item Two

The Treasury Department of the Direct Democracy of the United States of America will assume the responsibility for the adequate issuance of money into the New American Economy.

Item Three

To celebrate this great achievement Of, For and BY Our Nation, We The American People do declare and expedite a “Great American Jubilee”, in which all financial debt is forgiven and stricken from the records. The New America will be a “Clean Slate America” and a “More Level Playing Field America”. This will become a National Holiday that We will call simply, but proudly… “Jubilee Day”.

Item Four

New ways of non-debt governmental revenue producing methods will be established. The method of taxation will be rendered obsolete by the production and value maintenance of Our National Currency and Coin. The Volunteer House Of The American People will make the final decision and authorization to carry out these following proposals that are intended to pay the Debts and provide for the Common Defense and General Citizen Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts, Excises and other methods, that might still be used, shall be uniform throughout the United States.

Item Five

It is noted here that Our Nation being in “debt” is an unacceptable state and it is Our Duty to bring this to an end, as soon as possible. This work could begin with the termination of the Federal Reserve Bank and System, followed by a world “Jubilee” (universal debt forgiveness and eradication) declaration.

Item Six

“Pay as you go” is preferable to debt. Credit and Debt is slavery. America must not borrow! Its Citizens must not borrow. A mutually Beneficial kind of non-profit “Gifting”, maybe on a “pay-it-forward” basis is a Better way to Prosperity. The New American Government should endeavor to establish this mutualistic path to Citizen Prosperity, as a superior alternative to the greed ways of the old capitalist private sector of Our Nation.

Item Seven

To coin Money and print currency, regulate the Value thereof. Foreign money to receive the same value as Our Own; though We may deem it necessary to limit the amount of foreign exchange of currencies…keeping Our Dollars at Home, so to speak.

Item Eight

Also to provide for the Severe Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities, Currencies and Coin of the United States; to be considered a Treason.

Item Nine

There is no reason why Our Sovereign Nation cannot, or should not, produce its own money, to expedite its own needs and expenses.

Item Ten

“Credit”, if existent, should lie unused. Perhaps a viable international alternative would be “Mutualist Gifting”, in which citizens, nations, businesses and Peoples, give to help others, when they can, and this action being usually beneficial equally to all parties concerned. A Fair Trade sort of thing, where the only “advantage” sought is that which benefits everyone, or as Many as possible for the sake of the Well Being of Humanity.

Item Eleven

Also, Our Sovereign Nation Direct Democracy Governance System has the responsibility to regulate Commerce with Foreign Nations, and among all the States, and with the Original Peoples and their Sovereign Nations, who shall be recognized as equal in sovereign power to Our States and a valuable part of the “United Direct Democracy States Of America”.

Item Twelve

To establish uniform “Laws of Naturalization Of Immigrants and Refugees”.

Item Thirteen

To establish uniform Laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.

Item Fourteen

To establish the National Standard of Weights and Measures; hopefully in harmony with World Standards.

Item Fifteen

To establish and maintain Post Offices of the American Postal Service.

Item Sixteen

To establish and maintain Our National Transporation Systems.

Item Seventeen

To establish and maintain technologically enhanced knowledge and communications systems for the use of Our Direct Democracy Common Wealth Nation.

Item Eighteen

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing, for limited times, to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings, Inventions and Discoveries; these patent considerations should not be inheritable, nor should they be misused to inhibit national and social progress in technological development. No more “intimidation buying”, stealing or murdering the author of a useful patent in order to limit competition in business! These heinous acts should be considered Treason!

Item Nineteen

To also promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts with well considered funding.

Item Twenty

To constitute all Justice Courts, including the “Supreme Court”, of less Judicial Power and subject to, the “Grand Jury Of The American People” and the “Volunteer House Of The American People”, the Third and Final House of American Governance.

Item Twenty-One

To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the Sovereign Seas (fifty miles from shore?) and Offences against the “Law of Nations”, as part of the United Nations…at least when Our Nation is in agreement and compliance with the “Law Of Nations”.

Item Twenty-Two

To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; though said “captures” should be returned to the sovereign nation that wars against Us, as soon as it has been “dealt with”.

Item Twenty-Three

To raise and support military forces, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than three Years;

To make Standards and Rules for the Government and Regulation of the Land, Air and Naval Forces;

Item Twenty-Four

To provide for calling forth the Militia and other military units, to execute the Laws of the Government of the Direct Democracy United States Of America, suppress “Harmful, Unjust and Unlawful Insurrections” and repel Invasions
(an “Unjust and Unlawful Insurrection” is one designed and initiated by a minority class, or segment, of the American Populace against the Direct Democracy Majority Will Of The People Of Our Nation)

Item Twenty-Five

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the State Militias, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the Direct Democracy Of The United States Of America, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline and structure prescribed by the Three Houses Of Congress.

(“Militia” is recognized or defined as primarily a state oriented and implemented organization. “National Guard” is military units of the Nation, stationed in the states, intended as reserves to augment “regular” national military forces, and/or the State Militias.)

Item Twenty-Six

To declare, if supported by a majority vote of the Citizens of Washington, D.C. Washington, District Of Columbia, a State.

Such state (not exceeding ten Miles square) as was provided by Cession of particular adjacent States.

Item Twenty-Seven

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Direct Democracy Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

NOTE: The intent of Items One through Seven is to lessen the disruption of the Union that could come from States that would “go their own way”. The Dominant Principle being that “The Union” is more important than its elements for reasons of security and strength in Our World. But even this dominant Principle, can be replaced by the Collective and Majority Will of the American People.
