Democracy and freedom are abstract ideas that we hold as a people. These ideas require many sacrifices. Of self, of difference, of individuality. Our commitment to the American idea is to each other. Full Stop. Our Constitution laid a framework for democratic ideals to forge loosely confederated states into our Glorious Union and Great Republic. Future histories will reflect a nation that despite a turbulent beginning and checkered sinful past spread the ideas of democracy and freedom across the entire populated world and dominated the 20th century of geo-politics. Secretive, hidden entities whose true strength can never be known silently yet effectively influence the public face of power. Politicians in the 21st century are craven, power hungry career politicians who have sold their worth to monied interests. The desires of congress persons changed from engaging their constituency to represent the needs of the people. The local people in that congress person’s home town. Our elected officials were meant to be citizen politicians. Persons with careers outside of Washington DC. Our elected representatives were never meant to spend decades establishing their power centers. Power corrupts. Priorities get lost. Money and the ideas of those attached to those funds take precedence. Now is the time to end this disastrous spiral before we devolve into demagoguery and autocracy.

This is our purpose. To regain the original vision and intent of our ForeFathers and Constitutional Framers, a body politic represented by elected officials who serve their constituency out of a sense of duty, honor, country. Money in politics must be entirely removed. Lobbyist interests and out of control dark monies that are unaccounted for have utterly corrupted the system. Currently, decisions and legislation are not made out of organic research and earnest intent to better the local, state, and federal needs. To effectively sever the ties this current corrupt generation of duly elected officials has to our country and the levers of legislative power we must seek to send all 535 members back to their home districts without prejudice through the ballot box. We must find a new slate of candidates that are committed to the following Plan for Our Future.

1. By 2028, all 535 members of the US Congress are replaced with UnIncumbents committed to the Plan for Our Future.

2. By 2028, the majority of State Representatives are replaced with UnIncumbents committed to the Plan for Our Future.

3. In early 2029, once the new Congress is sworn in, a Constitutional Convention will be called.

4. This new Constitutional Convention of 2029 will have the following platform:

   1. Term limits for all elected members of the US Government, all three branches.

      1. Legislative branch, 12 years: six terms house, two terms senate

      2. Executive branch, 8 years: affirmation of a two term limit for POTUS

      3. Judicial branch, 18 years: one 18 year term, one new justice is selected by POTUS, confirmed by the Senate every 6 years

   2. All lobbying and monied interests entirely removed from any contact with the political class, elected officials

      1. The K Street Lobbying industry is outlawed and removed from DC Metro

      2. Corporations can hire legislative experts that can appeal to their district’s representatives

      3. Citizens’ United decision, Super PACs, Dark Money, is outlawed

      4. Public funds are established at the local, state, and federal level for elections and equal advertisement dollars along with equal advertising time on TV, radio, streaming platforms

   3. The Establishment of a Public Service Corps

      1. All Americans, naturalized and permanent resident, and their children are eligible to join PSC

      2. All Americans at the age of 16 will join the PSC

      3. All Americans at the age of 18 will choose a vocational/professional/military pathway in the PSC

      4. PSC formal term is 2 years of service. This can be extended up to 8 years to include graduation from programs requiring advanced degrees.

      5. Six month boot camp for All Americans at the outset of their PSC term includes basic life skill training and military skills, including basic and advanced medical/trauma aid, hand to hand combat (Krav Maga, BJJ), pistol and rifle competency, sharp shooting training, assault rifle training, and Small Unit Tactics as well as Basic Leadership

   4. Revision and Restructuring of the Department of Education and Public School Programs

      1. Universal pre-K programs are free for everyone

      2. Elementary School programs are hybrid (home learning, group activity, self-paced)

      3. Once basic standards of English, Math, History, Civics, and Science are met they advanced to Secondary School

      4. Secondary School programs are typically ages 8-13 with primary focus on advanced STEM, English, History, Civics and Athletics. Primary learning is local group based activities and home learning. Self-paced.

      5. Once the standards of Secondary School are met or exceeded advancement is granted to Finishing School

      6. Finishing School relies heavily on prior performance, academic achievement, and rigorous psycho-social testing that can help to guide the individual to choose a path that best meets their needs, interests, and most of all, natural skills, talents, and abilities.

      7. Finishing school is structured into various pathway programs. Vocational programs, like plumbing, or electrical, HVAC, etc start journeyman programs at ages 16 and up. Two years of vocational training enables the individual at the age of 18 and entry into the PSC to put their learned skills and educational training into core experience setting them up for success by their early 20s. Professional programs, like medical, legal, engineering, research, etc rely heavily on self-paced learning. Academic training for two to ten years is based on ultimately the final chosen profession. Military pathways utilize existing ROTC-like programs until the age of 18 when they enter the Uniformed Services as per usual.

   5. Prohibition of Public Camping and Intentional Homelessness

      1. All powers and policies of enforcement of prohibition of overnight public camping are relinquished to the city/municipality level

      2. No American is allowed to self-sacrifice their potential and effort in pursuit of intentional, deliberate homelessness

      3. By allowing intentional, deliberate homelessness, we allow the most vulnerable among us, those with severe mental illness and/or substance addiction pathologies, to suffer unusually cruel conditions

      4. Local and State Public Health Departments must be empowered to create PSC service centers to rehabilitate this population back into ordered society

      5. Mental health services take precedence along with detox from any and all substances

      6. Educational needs assessment, learning disabilities, etc are addressed and the individual is given resources to progress

      7. Once baseline standards and milestones are met the rehabilitated individual enters PSC for a two to six year term to further establish routine, respect for authority, and relationship building with Americans from all different backgrounds

   6. Revisions of the Tax Standards

      1. Corporate tax rate - 33%

      2. Income dependent graduated income tax rates with simplified tax code - max rate 47% on earned income above 1 million
