Under this provision and upon meeting a minimum of fifteen per centum of combined states in collaborated majority the submission to the people at the polls of any measure, or item, section, or part of any measure enacted by the United States Legislatures shall become subject to a national vote by people initiated through the state referendum processes established by the state legislatures.

All petitions submitted under the power of the Referendum shall be known as Referendum Petitions.  These petitions shall be filed with the United States Secretary of State by United States Legislatures, or shall be filed with the United States Attorney General office as a referred referendum by State Legislatures on behalf of the people of such State, and shall not be effected more than ninety days after the final adjournment of the session of the Legislature which shall have passed the measure to which the Referendum is applied.  Unless measure is passed by a mode or process not designated under Article V of the United States Constitution. The filing of a Referendum Petition against any item, section, or part of any measure shall not prevent the remainder of such measure from becoming operative.

(6) Legislature's power to amend a referendum.

 

The Legislature of the United States shall not have the power to amend a referendum measure decided by a majority of the votes cast thereon, unless the amending legislation furthers the purposes of such measure without changing the original intent, and at least three fourths of the members of each house of the United States Legislature, by a roll call of ayes and nays, vote to amend such measure.

 

 

(7) Official ballot.

 

When any Referendum petition or any measure referred to the people by the United States Legislature shall be filed, in accordance with this section, with the United States Secretary of State, or any referendum petition referred by the State Legislatures on behalf of the people shall be filed in accordance with this section, with the United States Attorney General,  either, or shall cause to be printed on the official ballot at the next regular general election the title and number of said measure, together with the words "Yes" and "No" in such manner that the electors may express at the polls their approval or disapproval of the measure with %u201CYes%u201D in acceptance of the measure, and %u201CNo%u201D in decline of the measure.

(9) Reservation of legislative power.

 

 

This section shall not be construed to deprive the legislature of the right to enact any measure except that the legislature shall not have the power to adopt any measure that supersedes, in whole or in part, any referendum measure decided by a majority of the votes cast thereon unless the superseding measure furthers the purposes of the referendum measure without changing its original intent, and at least two-thirds of the members of each house of the legislature, by a roll call of ayes and nays, vote to supersede such referendum measure. This superseding measure can not disqualify the amended section of the measure to be referred to a veto ballot by petition in a future election.

 

(10) Legislature's right to refer measure to the people.

 

Nothing in this section shall be construed to deprive or limit the legislature of the right to order the submission to the people at the polls of any measure, item, section, or part of any measure.

 

(11) Application of general election laws; implemented legislation

 

All addendums to this Amendment must be approved by referred referendum to the people.

 

 

The established outcome of a federal popular vote is to be compiled by a state to state referendum, and the negative or positive result shall be determined through a majority of registered voters of each state with each majority vote in each state being valued as one vote per state.

 

The majority vote of each state to include the District of Columbia will represent the majority in population of individual states will then be calculated by the board of election in each state and District of Columbia with the results being submitted to the United States Attorney General who will verify the submitted results from each state referendum. The United States Attorney General will then make in a public announcement the resulting outcome of the election as positive or negative.

 

 (12) All powers are granted to the United States Legislatures to make all laws necessary and appropriate to operate this amendment, but shall be subject to the approval of people, and cannot amend to change the purpose or intent of this amendment in establishing a federal referendum process or to inhibit states from exercising their right to refer referendum for the people of their state.

 

 It is agreed that the government is going in the wrong direction, but what can be done about it has so many variations that no singular solution can remedy what has been happening in this country since 1873.  My book "The Biggest Little Book on the Evolution of Democracy" is a research of history of politics and economics that concludes that our current issues all revolve about three failures in our social organization.  The use of expanded interpretations being used to by pass Article I section 7, the income tax base system being used to finance basic government and social programs, and the lack of representation by either the democrats or republican parties to the enforcement of the Constitution.  This is why the people must create a better means of protecting ourself from the re-instatement of a European system of monarchy by international Law.  We must maintain self rule to maintain our civil liberties. To do so we must create a tool for our representatives we elect in this up coming election to enforce the Constitution with the proposed amendment of Absolute Consent as a tool.  The solution to the problem is in the resolve of the people themselves and can only be accomplished when our authority in the checks and balances is increased so we can support delegates in their fight for constructional enforcement of the Constitution.

Thank you for taking this time to read my letter

Sincerly
