Bill for the Economy of Active Representation

Bill for the Economy of Active Representation

Target:
US Senate. House of Representatives, All Members
Sponsored by: 

We the undersigned, petition Congress ( both the Senate and the House ) to legislate law for the Economy of Active Representation as so defined herein. We see that "To be heard" is True Democracy, and "to be Represented" is the Truth of Democracy. In this petition we seek to be heard, with timely representation from you.

US Constitution: Article 4/Section 4: Republican government

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Republic is defined as follows:

A government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and is usually a president; also : a nation or other political unit having such a government 2 : a government in which supreme power is held by the citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives governing according to law; also : a nation or other political unit having such a form of government.

We the undersigned believe:

1- That any Bill to be debated on the floor should represent the people's voice, over and above what any representative might believe is better for the people. In electing an official into office we are giving them the power to act on our behalf. This is not the same as acting for us as in the case where people are declared incapable of acting on their own behalf.

2- That it is up to the specific Senate/House Representative to make their case to the people, and that the Senate/House Representative is to bring the peoples will to the floor.

3- To provide this form of Republic to the people, that all Senate and House websites are to provide on line web based Constituent polling such that registered constituents may vote on line, and that such results are reflect for any proposed Bill, Amendment, or otherwise action intended by the specific representative in the House, or Senate.

4- That on line web form email although is a means to reach one's Senate or House representative is not an empirical method for representing the constituents voice, and does not reflect the timeliness of it.

5- That all actions that the Senate or House Representative is involved in is clearly documented for a Yeah/Nay vote by on line constituents.

6- That only the result of this Yeah/Nay from the constituents of the specific Senate/House Representative be taken to the floor as the position of the specific Senate/House Representative .

7- That Internet technology is readily available , if not 'free ware' that can accomplish the majority of any website upgrade necessary for putting simple polling requirements.

8- That time frames are viewed as critical for realizing this bill into law, and compliance, and we see that there should be no worthwhile reason why the Senate and the House would not want to reach out to assure competent, honest, ethical and open representation on behalf of the American people.

9- That in compliance with the Peoples will for this petition, that Congress can save fortunes in tax payer dollars for the time specific Senate/House Representatives spend on the floors of Congress.

10- That open disclosure of earmarks can be clearly posted at the Senate and House websites, and disposition of budgets, current and project national debt.

11- That constituents may propose earmarks as a public formum, where they can be voted on by fellow constituents of the specific Senate/House Representative.

More detailed narrative for the purpose and need for the Economy of Active Representation is referenced at http://unity2008.org/Representatives.html.

We the undersigned further believe that with Congress in compliance with the Economy of Active Representation, in addition demonstrating further respect and regard for tax payer dollars by the Senate and The House, that this action will further instill trust from the people that Congress is seeking a more transparent and accountable government to serve the people.
