Breaking the Grand Ologonomy - Election Reform - Gov Reform

Ok here is the general outline of a plan to take back the county from the corporations and countries who seek to control us through political influence and unregulated business.

The Ologonomy, is the bottleneck we find ourselves in, at the moment. Corporate influence in our process has poisoned the system, in direct and open defience of the spirit of the constitution.

The election is every four years. At the end of each presidential election, you start the process of the next election.

The model below is significantly different than the current system, and involves sacrifices from the electorate and the corporations who choose to do business in this country.

Each citizen is expected to do his or her part in the process, and is incentivised through tax breaks of for participation. One can choose not to participate, and just pay the tax to support the citizens who do participate, thus contributing the process.

Here is the idea, in general: at the end of the presidential election, you hold neighborhood elections and elect a representative of your block, to then compete at the city level, and county.

This round of elections is held in rapid succession, with the focus on presenting a general platform, lessing the spending of money and time politicing, at this point. The idea is to get the smartest people interested in office, from your area and representing your politics, to then compete at the state level, regional, and then national election for president of the country.

There will be four years for the vetting process to take place. Every 'winner' at the state level can be highlighted across the counrty, with as equal public support in the disemination of thier indivitual platform.

The playoffs can be held, ending up with a block of 5

The winner is elected President, and can personnally select his advisors. There is no VP position, to be replaced by: the next four candidates, gain positions of authority and importance within the government and are next in line for the presidency, should the president be unable to serve.

There is a another body, to be comprised of representatives of the supreme court, the senate and the house, a body of 5 that joins the 4 'winners' in a body of 9 that has veto power over legislation, taking that power away from the Presidency.

The president has the power of executive privilage, that is also subject to veto by the body of 9. If urgency is neede and can be proven, the President can act, subject to a vote by the body of 9 to determine the constitutionality of the action, with powers of impeachment.

The military determines the commander in chief independently. All top decisions subject to veto of the body of 9, unless urgent action is needed, and can be proven, then the President him/herself has veto power and final say on military action, subject to a vote by the body of 9 as to the constitutionality.

Some would say this is way to much time demanded from the voters... others would say that the problems caused by apathy are far more expensive.

I figure its less than 20 elections over 4 years, one vote every other month in perpetuity aproximately.

How to fund it? money from the no participating citicen tax, corporate tax. Corporations will benifit from the stable political system under wich to do business. They will pay for the contribution the citizenry has performed in this political process, and will share proportionately in the burden. As they do not have a vote, they can contribute money, as public good will to the people who will determine their governance. build a park, school, or piece of art, instead of lining fat lobbiests pockets.

All individual or corporate donations to individual candidates is forbidden by law, every thing is publically funded, as outlined above.

in the words of George Bush... 'What ya'll think?'
