The United States of America has a problem with foreign or elite influences in campaigns and elections. In fact, the amount of money flowing into electing our government officials is corrupt. However, there is a solution to this problem that I think will eliminate inequality between political parties and even the playing field, while at the same time allowing citizens to make informed choices for their representatives.
A solution to the problem
is to make it illegal for any campaigner for a government position, whether
local, state, or federal elected position, to be given money, goods, or
services to help them get elected, except for $100 per individual as a limit
and no businesses contributing at all. For elected officials, it is also the
law that they may not be lobbied by any person or entity and that they may not
receive any funding for campaigns, except the $100 per individual contribution.
This provides enough funding for the politician to go to rally's and for other
obligations. However, this process can eliminate campaign signs on the side of
the road that end up in landfills after every election!
This solution also ends
entities lobbying efforts and pressure campaigns from organizations such as the
Chamber of Commerce from influencing public officials as there are some
business owners who are members of this body who are NOT citizens of the United
States of America. Even though they are foreigners, they submit dues to the
Chamber of Commerce to help elect our public officials and legislators and to
lobby officials to change our laws to benefit foreign entities. In fact, if you
go to your state Chamber of Commerce website, they explain in detail which
bills they sponsor and how their pressure campaign or “lobbying” efforts are
going. This, according to the laws of this country, is illegal. Foreigners are
not allowed to lobby our government legislators or Congress. According to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying_in_the_United_States
special interest groups have spent well over $9 billion annually lobbying and
influencing members of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the political system in
general.
What we should do is to provide public television stations like the PBS (Public Broadcasting Station) station that gives scheduled time slots to the top ten politicians running for a certain office using polling to determine positions. This means there is one station for local officials, one station for state officials, and one station for our federal politicians. However, this also limits reports by other news stations from interviewing campaigners or elected officials so that there is not undue influence by prominent television station owners on the election process.
Instead, we could have highlighted a certain number of interview
questions formed by different news organizations or citizens as a lottery that
the politicians can answer within their time allotment, if they wish. To be
able to give enough time for each official (a scheduled time slot for each),
there needs to be a separate station dedicated to each level of government. Every
politician, regardless of party affiliation is given the same amount of time on
their station to talk about their issues and qualifications. Each state should
be able to have their own stations for local and state elections. Then, the
federal station can be nationwide. Of course, these stations will be live
broadcast online so that citizens living abroad can tune in and possibly weigh
in on the issues.
No politician should have abilities to receive or solicit funds, goods, or services from any foreign or domestic person, entity, or government. The public stations mentioned above would be paid for using federal and state funds. We could pay for this process by implementing our Income Tax and Deficit Solution. This way, no person running for office would be able to fund or pay any staff for their campaign. Every person working to elect an official should be completely voluntary with no expectation of pay of any kind.
There should be no “Ads” from politicians or their supporters to try to influence citizens one way or another about any subject or concern. With no advertisements allowed, each politician has an equal time slot and playing field on public television to promote their personal and political views of the issues. Factual news stories about issues facing citizens will not be affected by the political ban promoting one politician over another on national news stations on television, internet, local news reports, magazines, and newspapers.
People will
still be able to get the news, only they will not be able to promote one
politician over another in their venue. Citizens will be able to make up their
own minds without being swayed by "Fake News". Town halls, however, are still a necessary part of the election process
and politicians should be allowed to hold these meetings at their discretion.
My solution for
eradicating foreign funding and support for public officials in our government
is simple, efficient, and effective. With no pressure from outside influences,
politicians can use polling to help them understand what is important to their
constituents and keep them from possible blackmail or illegal sway or control
over them. This is a great relief to those politicians who must hold expensive
dinners to fundraise for their election campaigns. They no longer must cozy up
to billionaires or other influential personalities spending huge amounts of
money to get their message out to the public.
Also, we could have an open
forum section of each station that allows a lottery to choose a certain number
of citizens to speak out about subjects that concern them. We can schedule
these forum speeches so that most citizens can either watch them in prime time
or they can record them per the published schedules. We would need to censor
these forums to make sure they do not use foul language, but otherwise, they
should be able to provide an equal voice of the nation.
We all know that America is made up of different views about all different subjects. Our diversity is the reason our Democracy is so successful. If we eliminate the possibility of blackmail from our election process, it makes political aspirations more honest and fairer. It also eliminates oligarchy disinformation campaigns from being able to influence elections across the nation. It takes big money or corporate funding entirely out of our election system, which is how it should have been all along. This gives citizens the assurance that their voice truly matters no matter who they are. After all, isn’t that our motto in this country, equality for all no matter your financial status?
It is time to take the deep foreign pockets out of our politics! However, it is up to you as a citizen of this country to make this law a reality. You can start by making sure your representatives in Congress put on the floor a bill that addresses this problem. Signing a petition to send to Congress is a good way to let your elected officials understand that this law is a priority! Your collective voices must be louder than the lobbyist and you can send a clear message when you vote for your next representative. Make it clear that you vote for the person who believes in the same America you love. One without foreign influences or from oligarch wannabees like what happened in past elections for president.
Real Republicans can relate when I say that this country has been overrun by Russian Republicans. It is evident that an overthrow of our government was the plan by Russian operatives and those people who were conned by the so-called Republican-party. The Russians had the Republicans’ number. They knew exactly what to do to influence their participation in taking down our democracy. All the advertisements, robo calls, and paid political rallies sponsored by Russian sympathizers almost brought us to the brink of national political disaster.
Although I wrote years
ago in this piece about how the Russians operated inside this country to spread
lies about Democrats to get their Republican cohorts elected (30 were sent home
to Russia after Trump was elected to keep them from being imprisoned), I think
now people are better able to understand what I saw back then. Remember, Trump
said, in effect, that he could stand on the corner of 5th Avenue and
shoot someone and still wouldn’t lose any votes. He was confident he would
“win” because he had been assured, he would have the majority of votes in the
country. The “campaign” to create chaos in the U.S. worked in 2016 and again in
2020 as the country was shocked by the Republican mania of conspiracy theories
and false claims of election fraud.
Hopefully, most of you as
real Americans are shocked out of your state of ignorance and will work with
other patriots to ferret out the truth of what really happened in the 2016 and
2020 elections. By the way, in the Constitution it clearly states that if a candidate
or an elected official gives aid or sympathizes with foreign entities in the
effort to overthrow democracy that person may be put in jail. I say that
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote and is the real legitimate 44th
President!
If you take the time to actually read the Constitution you will see that the Electors vote by Ballot for two Persons, of which one may not be an inhabitant of the Electors state. This means that Electors are not voters for the President and Vice President of the United States. They vote for Electors who make a list of Persons who received votes in their state and the number of votes those Persons received, then the two Electors they voted for in their meeting Ballot sign, certify, seal the list, then send or take it to the President of the Congress for the certificates of votes to be counted.
It states that the majority of votes Electors shall determine the winners. If the Electors are appointed by Legislators (In later amendment it says recommended by Legislators, but Electors are voted into this position by state citizens) to cast their votes for President and Vice President, then we would not need every citizen to vote. In the original Articles it does not say that the Electors represent the votes from citizens, but rather vaguely implies that they are appointed by the Legislators in their state to cast their vote and that is the vote counted in Congress. If all Electors decide to vote for only two people and one cannot be from their own state, this does not mean that the majority of votes for President and Vice President are the two Persons they met as a group to vote on in Ballot. It also does not mean two different political parties.
The interpretation thus far from election lawmakers is to assume
that the intention was for Electors to count the votes themselves and determine
the two majority winners in their state which they then cast their vote sending
their Elector vote to Congress proclaiming the winner in their state
represented by only a few Elector votes. My question is why do we need this
system in the first place? I believe that the original intent of the framers was to allow every citizen to vote and their vote and only their vote be counted. What was the original purpose for Electors? That is where
intent should be the interpretation of law.
Do you think it was the framer’s intention that only Electors decide who will be President and Vice President? Or do you believe that the Electors are appointed to oversee the List of Persons voted for and the number of votes each received, then have the duties to sign, certify, seal, and send that information to Congress for them to count the votes for majority of votes per Person received from votes cast by every citizen in-country and out-country? The confusion is vast. People have gone along with this interpretation of Elector duties because it suits their political party.
If you will only examine the original Constitution Articles, Section
I, you will read how ambiguous is the text, yet how simple. What makes
commonsense to you? I submit that my version of how the text should be read is
better and makes more commonsense than the application used today. Electors
should not override the population vote, the whole majority vote. The current
method has caused a false election to occur because Hillary Clinton received
the majority of votes cast in 2016 for President of the United States. She is
the real winner of the election because she received the majority of all votes
cast.
For interested law firms
out there, you may read closely the text and decide for yourselves if what I
proclaim is truth. If people read the Article I, Section I about Electors and
take it word for word, then it does not make provisions for regular citizens to
even vote for President or Vice President at all. There is no mention of citizens
voting in the text, only Electors who are appointed by the Legislators. The job
duties of the Electors, however, is clearly defined as I stated above. If that
is their job to be the only ones to cast a vote for our leaders, why then do we
even have citizen elections? They do not have stated in the duties sentence
anywhere that the List of Persons and the number of votes they each received is
NOT the Elector’s list of votes they cast on their Ballot at their meeting.
So, have we been doing the whole democracy thing wrong to begin with? Are we to believe that it was the framer's intention that Electors’ majority votes matter more than the majority of votes that would be cast by citizens? Because, you see, the citizens of the whole country are the collective majority. Electors say they cast their one vote according to the majority of votes cast by citizens, but in some cases, no. Nowhere in the Constitution does it state that Electors have that duty. This is how the false election of 2016 happened as the Elector votes counted by Congress did not represent the majority of votes cast for Hillary Clinton.
Doesn’t that make you concerned that your vote does not really count? If it
were a Republican candidate, I think they would have cried foul and proclaimed
a rigged election. Well, yes, it was. This creates a Constitutional crisis for
America. I dare you to read and consider the INTENT of the framers by the
absence of clear text in defining Elector voting and responsibilities to
represent citizens who vote in their state. After all, the law is based on
intent. It matters. The popular or whole majority of citizens voting is the legal
interpretation of the Constitution regarding Electors. How much do you really
love your country and the law? We’ll see…
With the January 6th Committee, we will hopefully find out how we had foreign operatives making fake news for unsuspecting citizens, pushing their buttons so that extremists would do their dirty work. These Russians made political progress to overthrow our government because Republican religious ideology and right-wing white supremacy groups ideologies were exploited on the news organizations and social media platforms. As of the beginning of these special committee hearings, I am heartened by the show of patriotism by the REAL Republicans of this country. I see that they are just as horrified by the Russian invasion as I am. So, let this be a warning to any political party or affiliation that you can’t keep blinders on when it comes to what news you are being fed.
Which brings me back to
where we began, elections. What is the one thing we all look for and recognize
about our candidates for office? I say it is good character. Another thing we
look for is intelligence. And finally, we look for compassion. What we all want
should be how our laws are made and how our officials are elected. We all want
freedom to be ourselves in this country. We all want to be able to educate our
children without foreign, religious, or extremist influence. We all want to have
the right to aspire to greater existence and to pass this on to our children.
We all want free and fair elections insuring our rights. It is called The
Constitution. That is our legacy to the humans who come after us. It should be
the one agenda we have as a collective society.
You do know right from
wrong. You know when you commit a wrong. When you do something wrong it affects
others, and for some, that is why they commit the wrong to begin with. It is
titillating. It gives them a thrill. This is wrong. When you join a group that
you know is committing wrong, you know it and condone the wrong behavior. But
the thing to remember is the real reason the wrongs are committed. Are the
groups committing wrongdoing because of an unjust cause or is it because they
were lied to like the Republicans in this country? Do you hate someone or some
group so much that you are willing to kill others you don’t even know to make a
point? This is called mass murder and wrong. When you are dead and gone, do you think that your voice and actions on
this planet will endure, or will they simply dissipate like mist because in the
end you were…wrong?
It is wrong for you to fund
extremist ideology. It is wrong because it could be there are ulterior motives
to influence you into committing a wrong. When you cast your ballot, do you
want assurance that they correctly read your vote? If they on purpose get it
wrong, how will you know? Which brings us back to character. We all want good
character from our representatives, especially in the highest office in the
land. When our elections are in jeopardy because of foreign or greedy corporate
influence, your legacy is stolen. The real thieves are those people who say
nothing and stand by condoning…wrong.
So, finally, we can say there is no excuse for our election process to have interference from foreigners or deep pockets. This solution is a wake-up call to those people who have an agenda to take over this country. I see you. And I hate you. And you can go to hell before I let you take my country! You see, I am an original inhabitant of this land. I love it more than most…invaders. I saw the foreign invaders come into the United States of America as an infestation and set up shop. I saw them influence the media outlets and extremists. I saw them summarily shipped out of the country once their devilish deed was done. I saw them put in highest office one who would not mind their land-grabbing activity we see played out in the media in Ukraine.
Now, I see them being exposed for what they did and are still trying to do to steal our history. But if there is one thing you did not consider before you began your campaign, it is that there are other nations within this nation. They are the American Indian Nations, and they are the eagles that fly high watching over the citizens with whom we have treaties of mutual respect and understanding. We have no problem ousting evildoers from our country even though the indigenous peoples of this country have no representation in the United States government. In fact, for all you lawyers out there who may be interested in the real law, it says plainly in Article II of the original Constitution that because Native Americans have no representatives and are not counted in the enumeration of representatives in each state that they are "untaxed Indians".
Also, in the third paragraph of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, it also says all "untaxed Indians". This is very clear and precise text declaring that Native American Indians are not taxed at all for anything in their native lands. Hey, U.S. government! You owe us so much money from charging us taxes that you can never pay it back. There is no way in hell that any Native American Indian would agree to paying taxes in this country when they have no representative in Congress! Duh! You can't change the treaty laws simply to steal more and more from the indigenous people of this country. I won't let you.
As the original Powhatan ruler descendent, Empress Evergreen, it is my duty to promote and defend my people who have been horribly treated in their own land. I am also the White Buffalo Calf Woman giving them back their dignity, lands, pride, and status. You may visit Native American Indian Heritage Solution on my other website to prove to the originals of this country that you love them enough to lift them out of the most inhospitable areas you call "Reservations". The real reservations were given to us in the Act of 1832 by Andrew Jackson, all 390 special places, so that we could be stewards of these National Parks. This Act was before the Department of Interior and the National Park Service was even established.
We were supposed to be granted the rights to live on and establish towns and communities in and around these beautiful vistas. We deserve the best in this land we love and defend for you. It is our right to be given privilege status as valued citizens even though we are not included in the consideration for representation in the Congress. This
solution and the ones found by going to the solution above and reading my other articles helps the citizens of the United States to get rid of constitutional
mischief once and for all. I bet you hate that.
