United States Citizen Watch, Action, Solution Community
Do United States Citizens believe that their Government is not functioning fairly, reasonably, and practically?
Practical Government Solution Community believes United States Citizens want a government in which “We the People”, rather than "We the Subjects", choose our elected officials and leaders; so the citizens can determine the course of the nation and reform Government?
Such was the dilemma faced by our Founding Fathers. As Alexander Hamilton and James Madison summed it up, "In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself."
Let us start by looking at understanding the United States of America's framing documents and the ideals they express to free people who govern themselves.
Do United States Citizens believe that elected Representatives and Senators are not practical in realistically legislating the priority basic needs, important concerns, and general worries of the average American?
Do United States Citizens believe there is too much partisanship in their government and not enough reasonable practical negotiation, action, and problem solving?
Do United States Citizens believe their elected officials miss the point of practical common sense prioritization of simple legislation?
So, as described in the United States Declaration of Independence, do United States Citizens want to create a government from scratch or reform and fix the current Federal Government?
Practical Government Citizen Solution Community believes that the framers of the documents that created The United States of America understood that to have independence and freedom.
"We the People" need to understand that as an electorate in a democratic form of government that we are empowered by these documents regardless of our social economic situation and that we must use our voting rights to control the course of this nation and its elected officials legislative choices and solutions.
That United States Citizen Solution Communities must watch (monitor) elected officials and take action to communicate majority values that become solutions to our nation’s problems.
The term for United State government at this time in history is plutocracy: which is generally used to describe these two distinct concepts: one of a historical nature and one of a modern political nature.
Historically and by the nature of their existence, wealthy minorities have always exerted influence over the political arena. In the modern era, democracies around the world permit fundraising for politicians, who rely heavily on such income for advertising their candidacy to the voting public.
Whether through individuals, corporations or advocacy groups such donations are often believed to engender a cronyist or patronage system via which major contributors are rewarded on a more or less quid pro quo basis.
Lobbying in the United States describes paid activity in which special interests hire well-connected professional advocates, often lawyers, to argue for specific legislation in decision-making bodies such as the United States Congress.
Practical Government Citizen Solution Community knows there are practical and simple solutions to large problems; which our elected United States of America Officials do not understand due to their errant beliefs in pragmatic partisan misconceptions, lies, problem avoidance, etc.
Core Values of Practical Government:
as a Citizen Solution Community
- We can realistically and reasonably define United States Citizens critical basic needs, important concerns, and general worries to our elected officials.
- We believe that through active, cooperative, and respectful discussion, negotiation and advocacy we can become a consensus solution community to make situations better in this democratic nation.
- As a majority solution community of many; we can have a positive impact on the values of the self-centered few that feel they are entitled to suppress and abuse; a situation similar to why this control was formed.
