The Career Politician Virus
The United States is no longer the representative democracy our Founders conceived because of a glaring flaw in our constitution: it allows individuals to make a career of public office. Career politicians have an inherent conflict of interest between serving so that they are re-elected and serving their constituents in a way not clouded by ambition.

Number One?
It’s difficult to admit but unfortunately the facts confirm that the United States is slowly sliding from the perch of the most powerful nation in the world. This slow process has been building for years caused by Presidents, Congress, bureaucrats, special interests, and the citizens of United States.

Tort Reform
The complexity of the U.S. legal system requires attorneys to work exclusively in specific aspects of the law. Lawyers who specialize in trying cases are the most financially successful. This group has an unsavory reputation for good reason. The tort lawyer lobby is powerful in Washington, DC because it donates more money than any other campaign contributor and enjoys the empathy of the many elected legislators who are, in many cases, lawyers.

Pork-Opine
Pork (earmarks) is one of the techniques used by career members of Congress to be re-elected. These politicians tack on earmarks to bills for unnecessary, wasteful expenditures to impress their constituents with the amount of federal funds they bring to their districts or states. Members of both Houses of Congress are addicted to using pork for re-election purposes.

Immigration Nation
For years, the immigration problem has been assiduously avoided by members of Congress for fear of losing the votes of Hispanics, anti-immigration Americans, and the numerous businesses who capitalize on this workforce. Even discussing immigration is like touching a hot stove to these career politicians. This is an example of how self-serving legislators ignore their responsibilities in order to remain in office.

Presidential Campaign Double-Speak
Campaigners in presidential elections speak out of one side of their mouth in the primary election; then, out of the other side of their mouth in the general election.
In the primaries, the Democratic candidates reach out to the left wing of their party; and similarly, the Republican candidates take positions to curry favor with the right wing of their party. This is the strategy office-seekers must adopt to be nominated by their political party.

The Federal Income Tax
The Federal Tax Code is a popular tool for members of Congress to bring in more spending money and repay obligations to special interests. The 60,044-page income tax code has been amended and patched so often that it is complex, convoluted, inefficient and unfair.

How We Can Win the Terrorist War
Our country’s struggle with the War on Terrorism not in a faraway land, but here at home. The contentious battle for political domination between two sectarian rivals, Democrats and Republicans, keeps us mired in this critical—and expensive—war.
There is a tried and true way, however, that we can become a country united in this valiant fight for freedom and democracy. As in WWII, a fuel-rationing program will turn our citizens from spectators to participants, and cripple our terrorist opponents. Fuel rationing will:
- Impair the finances of the enemy and their supporters
- Decrease the price of gasoline
- Silence the naysayers that weaken our unity
- Demonstrate that we are a nation united in our cause

The Parasitic Bureaucrat
The 17 million bureaucrats in our country are costing us one third of the Gross National Product and drowning us in a sea of regulations. It is time to take a close look at the price we pay for the bureaucracy our government has become, and how we can take back control to improve the bottomline of our country.
Key Points:
- Bureaucrats, unlike the private sector, are not motivated to be efficient and create a profit; their primary concerns are job security and increasing their budgets.
- Huge amounts of taxpayer dollars are wasted by the lack of accountability or consequences within the bureaucracy.
- Unelected bureaucrats are judge and jury when administering and enforcing laws and/or regulations

Our Country Needs a Constitutional Convention!
Like software or technology, our constitution needs regular updating to keep it current and governing effectively. Although it is extremely difficult and time consuming to amend this vital document, the original framers created another solution—The Constitutional Convention. Never exercised in all the history of the U.S., it is time to use this process of the people to encourage much-needed changes. These include:
- Modernizing our election system
- Streamlining the budget process
- Simplifying the Federal Income Tax Code
- Realigning the confirmation process
- And many others.
This article outlines how the people can take back the process and make our constitution work as intended.

Peaceful Coercion
The U.S. has become the world’s cop — a thankless role — because of the failure of the United Nations to achieve any of the goals for which it was formed. It would benefit the United States to disband the U.N. But then what?
- We can organize other democratic nations to share world diplomacy by offering reciprocal access to our large economic market.
- A democratic organization can control rogue nations by exerting economic pressure without the use of force.
- This coalition of democratic nations can exist without crippling bureaucracy by regularly rotating hosting responsibilities.
