Revolutionary Changes

1) Amend the 1st Amendment. Islam should be outlawed, not because we are a "Christian" nation, but because Muslims are involved in most of the conflicts around the globe. Extremists always find footholds in this religion. We should prevent, as much as possible, the possibility of a radical takeover in our country. Let them emigrate to Canada to practice their faith.

2) Amend the 5th Amendment. No citizen should have the right to hide their criminal activity. Self incrimination is the best kind.

3) Amend the 6th Amendment. "Speedy" should be accompanied with specific time frames.

4) Amend the 14th Amendment. Only those children born of legal citizens should be considered citizens of the United States.

5) Amend the 16th Amendment. The power to "lay and collect taxes on income" should be enumerated. A flat tax should be imposed on ALL wage earners, not just half the country.

6) Amend the 26th Amendment. No one should be allowed to vote who is under 30 years of age. Eighteen is an arbitrary number, so making another arbitrary number is just as good. Those who are 30 or older have experienced life and, typically, have a better understanding of what is at stake than an 18 year old. There will always be exceptions.

Congress & The President

7) Congressmen and women should be compensated as follows: Representatives should be paid the median price of the district they represent, not to exceed $50,000.00 per year. Senators should be paid the median price plus 5% of the district they represent, not to exceed $60,000.00 per year.

8) Senators and Representatives should take care of their own retirement plans, health care, travel, dining, etc. Their life should not be funded by the taxpayers.

9) The President should be compensated as follows: The median price income of the entire nation. If the median price increases or decreases, his salary will likewise change. He, too, should be responsible for his own health care, travel, retirement, dining, etc.

10) Legislative interns should be outlawed. Senators and Representatives who cannot understand a bill, or do not have the time to read the bill, have no business hiring interns to do the reading and dissection for them.

Crime & Punishment

11) The definition of capital crimes should be expanded to include rape, pedophilia, attempted murder, severe battery, and conspiracy to commit murder.

12) The punishment for all capital crimes is death - no exceptions. Attorneys should not have the right to negotiate lesser sentencing or the option to prosecute any other punishment.

13) Victims of capital crimes, or their immediate family, should have the right to choose the method of execution.

14) All executions should be televised.



This is merely a beginning.
