The Citizens Vote
Proposed Amendments to the U.S. Constitution to add Legislative Powers to the
Citizens.
Introduction:
The Citizens Vote will serve to ensure that the voices and desires of the citizens
within the union exert a direct influence on the laws upon which the people are
governed. Citizens of the union will clearly realize the countless bills refused or
delivered to properly reflect the will of the people. The Citizens Vote will provide
the mechanism by which the citizens will grow more secure due to their increased
knowledge and influence in matters affecting them. It will rapidly be exposed as
the path to healing that the union has envisioned.
Proposed changes are in red. “Quoted terms” are conceptual and subject to review
and revision.
