Proposed Amendments to the U.S. Constitution to add Legislative Powers to the Citizens.

Introduction:

The Citizens Vote will serve to ensure that the voices and desires of the citizens within the union exert a direct influence on the laws upon which the people are governed. Citizens of the union will clearly realize the countless bills refused or delivered to properly reflect the will of the people. The Citizens Vote will provide the mechanism by which the citizens will grow more secure due to their increased knowledge and influence in matters affecting them. It will rapidly be exposed as the path to healing that the union has envisioned.

Proposed changes in [Brackets].  “Quoted” phrases are subject to advisements and revisions.

Article I- The Legislative Branch

Section I – The Legislature

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress [and the citizens] of the United States. The Congress shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. [Eligible citizens are those currently qualified to vote in the national presidential elections.]

Section VII. – Revenue Bills, Legislative Process, Presidential Veto

All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate [and the Citizens Vote] may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives, the Senate [and the Citizens Votes], shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House [and the Citizens Votes], by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House [and the Citizens Votes], it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives [and the Citizens Votes], may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives  [and the Citizens Votes], according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.

The Citizens Vote (Proposed):

Constitutional amendment proposal to grant legislative powers to the citizens. Legislative process order change: Congress-Citizens-President. The Citizens Vote.

[

Each “voting district” shall engage proposed bills in the following manner: Having received or otherwise procured access to all published and enumerated bills passed by the House and the Senate for review no later than the twenty-first day of the current month, all such bills will be placed for voluntary voting by the qualified citizens of the union within their respective “voting districts” to be conducted on the last three days of the current month.

Union citizens or “voting districts” shall receive or otherwise procure access to all final congressional bills for the Citizens Vote by the twenty-first day of each month. Bills not publicly released by the congress and thus unavailable for review by the [voting districts] and their citizens by the twenty-first day of the present month shall be carried forward to the next month for vote.

Qualified citizens as members of their respective “voting districts” shall contemplate and initiate bills for consideration of the union Citizens Vote. “Voting districts” shall receive or otherwise procure access to all bill considerations for the Citizens Vote by the twenty-first day of each month. Bills not publicly released by the “voting districts” and thus unavailable for review by all union “voting districts” and citizens by the twenty-first day of the present month shall be carried forward to the next month for vote.

Each “voting district” shall collect, tally and report the Citizens Vote results from all eligible congressional bills and the motions from the union Citizens Vote and shall be conducted during the last three days of each month.

[Whenever two thirds of both Houses of Congress or two thirds of the Citizens Vote] shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

—————————————————————–

Other Citizens Vote Considerations:

• Additional changes in legislative language, jargon and procedure may be necessary to fully incorporate the rights and powers of the Citizens Vote into relevant articles and sections of the U.S. constitution.

• Quoted terms such as “Voting Districts” should be contemplated and altered to reflect the desired and most efficient management and delivery system for the Citizens Vote.

• Consider creating an Article .VIII. – The “Citizens Arm”, with sections outlining the activities and powers of the Citizens Vote.

Powers and Influence Limitations Considerations:

• To be determined.
• At the discretion and needs of the citizens.

Citizens Vote Eligibility Restrictions:

• Minimum age.
• Years of citizenship.

Voting District Management:

• Districts can choose traditional electronic voting machines or secure internet voting and mobile smart phone voting applications as primary methods.

• Districts can choose paper ballots as a primary method or a secondary backup ordered for the second and third voting days to resolve suspicious or irregular results from the first two days.

Alternate Jargon Contemplations:

• “Citizens Vote”, Arm, Flex, Brake.
• “District”, “Citizens District.”

Implications and Justifications:

• The founding fathers clearly intended the constitution to serve the people – We the People. Our constitution was conceived, designed and ratified during times of relatively limited technology. A pure republic, representative form of government was ideal then because there were limited means to interact among the citizens in a rapid and reliable manner. Technologies did not support the rapid and efficient development and exchange of individual thoughts necessary for an effective democratic government ultimately by the people. Yet, a government of the people as close as possible was a must.  So, a republic, representative system was the logical choice for that time. However, because the founders were also wise enough to incorporate the means to evolve, the constitution has survived with twenty-seven amendment ratifications. Today, modern technologies deliver information to and from citizens in close to real time. Citizens are now empowered with the information tools and resources to become effective contributors to policy on a routine basis.
• Now, we the people are at a crossroads where we can choose to define our future paths, and perhaps more active new roles, under a new amendment to the constitution that couples the representative strengths of our republic with authentic and informed democratic voting powers of the citizens as a vital added check upon congressional powers.

• On occasions, the citizens have been subjected to government that appears to ignore the clear and firm voices of the majority of citizens and chooses to pass bills potentially against the words or spirits of our constitution. Furthermore, in an era when some elected representatives are vulnerable to failing to read bills before casting their votes, the citizens are in need of additional and permanent checks and balancing powers.

• The Citizens Vote would serve as a stopping brake to legislation deemed too extreme by the constituency. Because it potentially could be used to initiate new bills and motions for congress, the Citizens Vote could be the mechanism to accelerate addressing issues of public concern historically avoided by government.

• The citizens of the union are especially vulnerable when both the legislative and executive branches do not listen to and respect the union citizen majority. Our constitution designed the legislative and executive branches as checking and balancing mechanisms. The presidential performance clause is a direct check to end lingering, undesirable presidential performance that would normally continue for an entire term. It empowers the citizens of the union against allied legislative and executive branch forces acting against the wills of the citizens. Similar performance clauses could be incorporated at state levels to protect the citizens from their respective representatives.

• The time period between the twenty-first day and the last three days of the month for the Citizens Vote offers from seven to ten days for citizens to deliberate among themselves regarding all eligible bills pending the Citizens Vote. This is a valuable time period for interaction, debate, exchange and contemplation that will not only clarify the issues and implications before voting, but also mesh together individual communities and the union to close the shared interests communication gaps among us.

• Since bills passing both the House and the Senate must then pass the Citizens Vote prior to being sent to the president, any subsequent motions to modify the powers or procedures of the Citizens Votes would also be subject to the Citizens Vote.

• While this effort is currently a work-in-progress in need of professional and legislative language, this proposal can be used now as a template for citizens around the world to contemplate and derive authentic democratic government formations with the citizens as influential entities.

Homeless Solution Alternative for the City Mayor and City Government.

Issues and Conditions:

Homeless Conditions:

For  a variety of reasons, people find themselves in homeless conditions. Solicited donations to homeless citizens are sometimes used to rent hotel rooms to escape unforgiving weather. To support other critical needs and objectives, homeless citizens need a reliable and secure place to sleep, especially overnight. Otherwise, family, employment, health, emotional states and overall functionality will be at further risk.

Traditional City Issues & Strategy:

Cities often find themselves unable to sustain the shelter needs of the homeless population, primarily due to financial constraints.

City management tries to implement policies best for traditional and homeless residents, but it is difficult to achieve a mix that accommodates both. Cities usually offer some form of shelters. However, availabilities are temporary and not guaranteed. Often city policies are against loitering, panhandling, sleeping in public or in cars. It is clear that cities need alternate homeless strategies to satisfy the interests of city management, business/residential entities and the homeless population.

Policy Proposal:

Minimum Requirements:

One vacant lot, portable restroom facilities and one on-duty staff person is required to establish a minimum Park-N-Sleep site. The lot is to be enclosed by a wall or fence suitable for security and privacy. Although there would be an emergency exit, there would be only one authorized entry and exit point which is monitored by an on-duty staff person. Those needing a place to sleep would drive to the gate entrance, be greeted by the on-duty staff, directed to the site rules clearly posted, provided with a vehicle pass for display and then allowed to park and sleep overnight.

Optional Modifications and Considerations:

Access can be more comprehensive with the presentation of valid identification and filling out a registration form to include names and ages of all car guests, vehicle identification data, anticipated number of nights as guests and a certification that all rules are understood and potential penalties for violations.

Parking spaces could be numbered to designate reserved areas. Pavement markings could outline traffic, entrance and exit pathways.

Park-N-Sleep sites could make available window covers, eye-blinders, earplugs and other coverings to filter out occasional disruptions. Do-Not-Disturb signs for each car would discourage disturbing guests who desire privacy. Transactions could be free, loan, rent or purchase.

More formal sites could provide official mailing addresses to guests, using mailboxes or personalized mail baskets for mail administration. Decision-makers must not underestimate this policy to satisfy employment eligibility requirements.

Homeless services paraphernalia, resources and contact phone numbers could be readily available as handouts.

Suggested Site Rules:

Prohibited:

• Unmonitored children under 18 years of age.
• Horn blowing, loud music, excessive revving of engines / disruptive noises.
• Headlights Hi/Lo beam. (Assumes safe external lighting for driver safety.)
• Pets.
• Alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, guns, knives and other weapons. (strictly enforced by local law.)
• Unlocked doors.
• Cooking.
• Sexual activity or Indecent exposure.
• Tampering with cars or property of others.
• Littering and improper food disposal.
• Flat tires. (noncritical – recommended for general appearances and morale.)
• Unofficial visits.
• Disregarding Do-Not-Disturb signs on guest cars. (except emergencies.)

General courtesy should be practiced at all times.

PARK-N-SLEEP assumes no liability for property or personal damages incurred on the premises.

Vehicles, properties and guests are subject to search for contraband while on the premises.

Guests are subject to DUI sobriety and other testing.

Violators are subject to temporary or permanent revocation of guest privileges and legal prosecution.

Site Selection:

Park-N-Sleep locations should be free from excess environmental noises, lights and odors that would impair proper sleep. Location selection should also consider proximity to needed storage facilities and bus routes, especially for guests who do not drive. Ideally, the site would be near affordable food establishments and YMCA,YWCA or other affordable gyms for showering privileges. Selection should also consider average commute times to the most common work subdivisions.

To avoid typical community objections, site should not be within or  adjacent to established residential communities.

Obstacles Expected:

Rigid City Management Philosophy:

City management may initially dismiss the idea of authorizing its citizens to sleep in their cars. PARK-N-SLEEP is a compromise between continuing homeless policies that simply do not work and allowing unlimited sleeping in cars citywide. The PARK-N-SLEEP program can provide all interested homeless citizens a shelter from the environment under controlled conditions and at predetermined locations. Thus, management of homeless citizens will be greatly facilitated.

The PARK-N-SLEEP program should not be delayed because policy-makers devise the many scenarios against it, while having no superior alternative to substitute in its place.

City Code:

Relevant codes that restrict sleeping in cars should be modified to accommodate city controlled PARK-N-SLEEP sites.

Security Intervention:

Programs of this nature are not immune from incidents. Sites must have clearly established staff policies and protocols for police, fire and medical intervention. Sites should consider audio and video recordings of all areas. Roving security staff should be considered, especially if all property cannot be easily seen by the gate staff.

Multi-Use:

Depending on the site size and intent for usage, guests could be limited to noncommercial transportation vehicles. Otherwise, larger sites could have special areas for large trucks, RVs and Trailers. The separate area will ensure a minimum peace and availability for regular guests.

Limited car ownership, availability and driving privileges:

Some homeless individuals have neither cars nor current driver licenses. Therefore, car donations to the Park-N-Post program will enable anyone to sleep at the site.  If donated cars are in short supply or for other prudent reasons, PARK-N-SLEEP may choose to prevent donated cars to be driven. Then, the drive or axle systems of donated cars should be disabled to prevent movement. Recipients of donated cars will have access to entry, exit and ignition for heating and cooling purposes. Cities need not delay implementing minimal PARK-N-SLEEP programs in order to accomodate car donations.

The on-duty or security staff will have duplicate keys for all donated cars at all times. Good heating and air conditioning systems would be preferred over aesthetic appearances of donated cars. Qualified local automotive repair specialists could be encouraged to volunteer to perform regular maintenance in exchange for tax breaks.

The optional donated,  immobilized cars will require regular intervention for gas and maintenance. Donated cars do bear added expenses and risks, thus they may be deemed unsuitable  for some city PARK-N-SLEEP programs.

Guest Safety:

To help protect guests and property, all car doors are required to be locked at all times while guests are in or away from their cars.

Those sleeping while running heat could provide a window opening of a minimum prescribed size to prevent carbon monoxide issues. PARK-N-SLEEP sites can provide mandatory, properly-sized inserts into car windows as evidence of sufficient ventilation. To retain maximum heat, one alternate approach is to use portable carbon monoxide detectors within the compartment of each car. While private car owners would be responsible for their own energy expenses, this policy option would increase city energy expenses for  guests using donated cars. Policy could be adapted to disallow running engines of donated cars or all cars at the site. In doing so, guests would rely exclusively on sufficient blankets and clothing for warmth.

More developed sites should strive for an optimum layout compromise between maximum site capacity and distances among parked vehicles. While close, adjacent parking spaces will maximize capacity, it would also increase accidental door-to-car contacts, damages and sleep interruptions due to insufficient minimum space between vehicles. Parking space layouts should incorporate side buffer zones between cars to reduce these occurrences. Likewise, front buffer zones would reduce accidental fender-bumper contacts.

Parents With Children:

It is generally accepted that living in a car is not an environment for children. Accordingly, all registrations with children are immediately referred to local social services system intervention to find suitable shelter arrangements. If after exhausting every resource, no suitable place is found, then the PARK-N-SLEEP site becomes their best option for temporary sleep and safety until an improved family environment becomes available. The site is preferred to the alternative of parking in unknown and dangerous areas with children. Parents must monitor all children under their care at all times for their safety, according to site policy.

Drug Users:

A zero tolerance drug possession and use policy must be fully enforced while on PARK-N-SLEEP sites as a prerequisite for all guests. Site drug behavior will rapidly degrade the intended use and relative enjoyment of PARK-N-SLEEP sites. On-duty staff must be trained to report all known or suspected drug activity to police. Verified or voluntary admission of drug addictions should be referred according to local protocols for services and appropriate medical and other professional interventions.

Restrictive Qualifications Requirements:

The goal is to ensure that essentially any adult agreeing to the site terms can obtain rest at the site. Because the reasons for homeless status are varied, data such as income, employment, cause of homelessness or previous residency may be collected but should not be considered for qualification.

City Mayors and PARK-N-SLEEP Management:

The goal is not to place an excessive burden on city finances and resources. Minimum sites could offer limited hours to enable only overnight sleep. Note that this plan would not accommodate those working alternate hours and unfortunately would be unavailable for this limited time PARK-N-SLEEP service.

To reduce or possibly eliminate city budgeting concerns, city government should consider local PARK-N-SLEEP sponsorships and donations from individuals, businesses and goodwill organizations. Land may be donated by philanthropic organizations and individuals, as providing a path to sheltering those in need is a very noble cause. Likewise, many individuals will search their hearts and will be eager to donate their unused cars, knowing that their gifts will provide much needed shelters for others.  A comprehensive search may reveal that state or federal funds could be considered for this program under emergency relief, social need, research or other essential services.

City officials should not dismiss the efficiency gained  and cost reduced by using the sites as one-spot screening and delivery locations for  homelessness related duties by local social services departments. This will actually reduce time and fuel expenses related to identifying and serving the homeless population.

Mayors and city council representatives may habitually desire “business as usual” homeless policies. The topic may be politically sensitive. What is unrealized are the many eligible voters who would be very grateful for their improved daily conditions due to this new city program.

Remember that while citizens may lose their homes, they often have cars.  A suitable, secure parking site could be just what they need for now.

City Management may consider an open community hearing to obtain a consensus of all affected parties, which includes the locall homeless population.

Contingencies should be considered for full capacity demand. If the current lot becomes full, the staff should call or provide phone numbers to alternate PARK-N-SLEEP sites within the city or nearby cities. To ensure fairness, reservations should be disallowed as a policy. Space should be provided as available.

For long-term management, city governments should consider awarding contracts based on bid and experience to run their PARK-N-SLEEP programs.

Basic background checks for outstanding warrants may be a component of pre-admissions policy. However, these administrative efforts should be organized not to delay delivery of same-day benefits. State driver license and vehicle license plate checks may be sufficient initial entry criteria.

Policy makers must always remember the central goal of battling and eradicating homelessness within the city. So, potential fee-related products and policies must not impede access to the PARK-N-SLEEP program in any way.

Negative Perceptions and Objections:

Resistance exists when there is something to lose. Entities will resist PARK-N-SLEEP sites because they may organize unwelcomed groups of citizens within perceived safety boundaries. Concerned residents and businesses will evaluate both benefits and risks. Unfortunately, improving the lives of many homeless citizens alone will not be a sufficient motivator for many communities.

Perimeter gates or walls will control entry and exit, protect guests and provide barriers such that citizens outside will see and hear minimal activity from inside.

Concessions may be given if site guests routinely volunteer time and services to the local community. Site guests could provide value to every community. Examples include neighborhood cleanup, painting and preservation. Some will even have specialized skills to offer. A successful public relations campaign can help manage perceptions and responses.

Entities objecting to this proposal or otherwise finding it to be unfeasible are very likely to already have a secure place to exist and to sleep at night. Proper justice will be given to  this proposal only by perceiving it through the eyes and experiences of those homeless citizens who are actually living on the streets.  While some entities believe sleeping in cars to be uncivilized, those in need will find it to be an essential leap forward. So it is a matter of perspective and life experience. Ultimately, in the absence of a superior plan that sustains all homeless citizens, PARK-N-SLEEP  becomes the most feasible, effective and morally correct action.

Capacity and Expansion Limitations:

The capacity to provide for every interested homeless entity is limited only by the availability of feasible land and the number of donated automobiles to accommodate those not owning cars within the city.

PARK-N-SLEEP Adaptability  Challenges:

This proposal is actually a general template designed to be modified according to local needs and inspirations. Many varieties of PARK-N-SLEEP programs are possible to meet the needs of government, residential, business and homeless entities.

Vision:

This proposal is designed for cities requiring a fast, effective and sustainable plan for many homeless citizens. As difficult as one may imagine, this program may provide improved, long-term conditions for many. After giving full consideration and contemplation to this proposal, one will realize the potential for PARK-N-SLEEP programs to end “on-the-street” homelessness within any city at relatively low or zero cost to government.

It is speculation that city management may have the opportunity to possibly reclassify citizens at PARK-N-SLEEP sites as an improved status compared to “on the street” homeless citizens. While they would not be living in traditional homes, they also would not be “on the street.” They would be in a program that gives them the opportunity to sustain some degree of normality by having a fixed location to exist, rest and enjoy increased privacy. This policy supports further progress for positive individual self-esteem, optimism, employment eligibility, family stability, social bonds and contemplations for the future.

From The Author:

If your city is experiences unresolved homelessness conditions, please ensure that your city mayor and city council body have considered this proposal. You may choose to formally and publicly address your city government to establish an exploration committee and then to bring this alternative to a vote. Remember, if your city cannot and have not done better than what is proposed here, then this proposal should be given a chance.

Although the author envisions large cities adopting some form of the PARK-N-SLEEP program nationally and perhaps globally, much personal appreciation would be felt if at least one program was seriously attempted and valuable feedback was provided on this site for other cities to consider. Please register and provide any comments regarding any known PARK-N-SLEEP related site efforts, successes or obstacles.

…May many without traditional homes discover new peace and safety.

Logical and rational minds are confronting overwhelming evidence that UFO-USO activities are real. Now is time to manifest personal strength to expose the truth and then to find pathways to positively evolve as it is revealed.

Selected UFO files declassified by the government of the United Kingdom.

Are alien entities and extra-terrestrial crafts visiting our planet?  The answer must be either Yes or No.

Volumes of highly credible, eyewitness reports of unidentified crafts of exceptional maneuverability span every continent and every ocean for at least 50 years.

If you believe alien entities and extraterrestrial crafts are visiting our planet, then contemplate that each alien entity is either friendly or unfriendly to the human race.

(1.)    If you believe alien entities are friendly to humanity, then you must conclude that you are denied peaceful and cooperative interactions with those friendly alien species.

(2.)    If you believe alien entities are unfriendly to humanity, then you must conclude that you are denied vital knowledge to prepare personal defense contingencies and contributions to global strategy.

If you do not believe alien entities and extraterrestrial crafts are visiting our planet, then you must conclude that the unidentified objects are man-made.

(3.)    Despite overwhelming evidence, if you still believe that earth is not being visited by aliens and extraterrestrial crafts, then you must conclude that the unidentified objects reported are made and controlled by man.  Accordingly, you must conclude that you are denied the benefits from those human technologies that would immediately end every perceived global energy crisis, mass transit obstacle and personalized transportation need –  avoidable human suffering from the failure to share advanced technologies.

If you believe that not one Alien-UFO-USO eyewitness report accurately depicts the truth, then you believe that there must be systematic delusions among independent minds experiencing the same phenomena.

Furthermore, these detailed delusions would have been successfully repeated on a global scale over decades of time. Such a hypothesis disrespects trusted and honorable men and women of varying professions and echelons of society, among whom are respected officials whose professional advice and testimonies were sought and valued during many years of faithful military or government service.

Global Disclosure and Transparent Discussions:

Independent of which hypothesis you choose to believe regarding the Alien-UFO-USO phenomena, you must logically conclude that you have been and continue to be denied information vital to your personal, national and global existence and advancement – potentially for future generations to come.

While sincere, global discussions and accountability would reveal truths, topic avoidance or sluggish and deceptive responses also provide valuable information. Although some governments have declassified some UFO-USO files, some are still holding back perhaps for reasons such as technology superiority, concerns of global panic or other covert agendas. Global citizens must understand that there are entities that expend enormous effort just to conceal these truths.

Failure to reveal all documents along with transparent, public, cooperative discussions by briefed government entities constitutes and sustains competitive psyche between covert entities and the public they serve.  Unresponsiveness  and failing to confirm Alien-UFO-USO existence and knowledge are deemed as major obstacles to the will and advancement of the people. Covert Alien-ufo-uso operations have the potential to subordinate every other government policy. One possible scenario could include financial policies that appear illogical and unjustified by rational thinkers, only to divert extensive resources to fund Alien-UFO-USO operations.

Inform yourself regarding all forces that influence  personal, local, national and global security policy.

Activism:

(1.)    Challenge yourself to find an alternate scenario not listed above. Convince yourself, given only the mere existence of these unidentified crafts within the earth atmosphere, that there are no other logical scenarios to consider. Then conclude that the pursuit of global Alien-UFO-USO disclosure must not be delayed.

(2.)    Vote only for political or government representatives that strongly advocate global Alien-UFO-USO disclosure and transparent government revelations among all nations as a top agenda. Then, hold them accountable for their commitments.

(3.)    Mail, fax, email or otherwise deliver a copy of this analysis and activism agenda to your government representatives with any required personal identifying information and comments to express your commitment to full global Alien-UFO-USO disclosure.

Global Highest Ideals:

Because nations pursued different goals based on sets of conflicting highest ideals for guidance, lesser-evolving ideals and aspirations by other nations or individuals existed. As a result, a global committee contemplated highest ideals with significant contributions from entities and individuals from every nation. The global highest ideals adopted by all nations established a mutual course to steer for the human race. Resulting from those agreed upon philosophies, the following proposals have been adopted:

Free Global Education:

With the latest announcement from a leading university regarding their most generous and visionary efforts, mankind now have an ever increasing and sustainable repository of training and learning resources – now referred to as the Global Education and Training Videos Project (GETVP). Lectures in every discipline up to and including the doctorate level are preserved. These lectures are available to everyone worldwide at no cost primarily via the internet. Anyone globally can download these videos and immediately learn topics in the fields of their choice. Anyone can acquire the knowledge enabling one to demonstrate competency via an exam for formal credit. Theoretically, one could proceed in this manner to obtain several doctorate degrees. This project demonstrates the new commitment and direction for human progress. Other universities worldwide are following this model, looking beyond their profit objectives to advance the human race. The GETVP project significantly increases the capacity for human advancement and earns the lead university a special place in our history and our deepest gratitude.

Money Eradication:

Upon extensive analysis of global, national, community and individual problems that continue throughout our existence, we have concluded that practically every problem or obstacle facing us is in some way rooted in thinking patterns and decision-making emanating from competitive environments created by the human race. We navigate through life as we compete among and within entities for resources and other needs. The most influential factor contributing to these thinking patterns is the pursuit of money or compensation. Therefore, the institution of money, currency and all related compensation endeavors will be formally retired from our civilization. After a certain date to be determined and announced, no form of money or compensation will be used for any transaction among the human race.

Free Global Health Care:

In harmony with retiring all money systems from our civilization and enabling every global citizen to achieve any skill and academic proficiency level at zero cost, those choosing to follow their true hearts into the medical profession shall assume the medical responsibilities of their communities on a volunteer basis. With the strong inflow of competent personnel over time, it may be possible to actually lower the number of hours for each volunteer.

Individual Pursuits:

In order to successfully eradicate money and implement free global health and medical care, it has been determined that essential needs of food, water and shelter will be at zero cost within every community. With every essential need provided or made available to every individual worldwide by community efforts and global cooperatives, everyone can gain competencies in the fields of their hearts desire and contribute knowledge, skills and time to advance self and human civilization. It has been determined that prosperity far beyond our current global existence will occur as individuals choose and pursue their personal areas of contribution without regard to financial compensation and competition considerations. We have finally removed foreseeable obstacles to prosperity for you, your children and for every future generation. Now it is up to you, global citizens, to advance humanity according to your special insights and proficiencies and to use all knowledge gained to participate within community and global collaborations to solve every global problem of our time.

Global Cooperation:

Consistent with the volunteer, zero cost initiatives, everyone now becomes a part of a global transformation where all communities will function in an approximately similar cooperative and volunteer-driven manner. All nations have agreed that our future prosperity and survival depend on our ability to cooperate among each other such that no nation loses and all nations win. If we prosper, then we prosper together. If we suffer, then we suffer together. Accordingly, each nation now has an interest in the success of every other nation. Significant cooperative agreements are now active such as agreeable global resource distribution models, global emergency responses, global weapons of mass destruction policies and planetary defense.

Conclusion:

Years of exploration, countless meetings and collaborations, healthy debate and intensive modeling of world scenarios were necessary to agree upon a final proposal worthy of endorsement by all nations. This historic proclamation expresses interrelated ideals and ideas reflecting one comprehensive and harmonious commitment – the advancement of the individual and the entire human race.

(A summarized, theoretical and conceptual work)

Proclamation for World Cooperation and Advancement.
