Revised 6/6/05---major changes----proposed amendments for regional houses of
representatives and senates(or unicameral legislatures) in addition to existing
state legislatures, creation of regional defense departments as well as regional
treasuries
and the dismantling of those two departments in the District of Columbia. Also,
making
federal reserve district banks regional central banks.



    The following draft is in the process of being sent to state(not federal)
representatives and
senators throughout the nation. If you find yourself in general agreement,
kindly forward to
yours(faxes, office visits, and letters most effective)---constituents always
receive top priority!! :)  Any feedback you may have would also be appreciated.
Thank you.

                                                                                      
Sincerely,

    Greetings. Article V of the Constitution allows for a Constitutional
Convention if 2/3
of the state legislatures vote to have one. All a Constitutional Convention does
is
propose amendments which are then sent back to the state legislatures(or state
conventions)
where 3/4 must sign off on them to become law.
    An increasing number of individuals feel that the time has come for the
calling of such a Convention due to the federal government's:

1) failure to uphold the Constitution and secure our borders from massive
illegal immigration;
2) failure to forumulate a national energy policy aimed at decreasing our
dependence on foreign
     oil;
3) failure to address the issue of job outsourcing which has led to the
deterioration of our
     manurfacturing base in the U.S.;
4) failure to adequately administer the social security trust fund.

    Be that as it may, if such a Convention were to be called, the theme should
be Returning Power to the States. The following amendments should be proposed,
with the Bill of Rights being "off the table" as a prerequisite for a
Convention. The aim here is to restructure government to better serve the people
and the states, not eliminate freedoms:

----Abolishing the House of Representatives and the Senate in the District of
Columbia and
     creating REGIONAL Houses of Representatives and Senates(or unicameral
legislatures)
     for 10 regional zones (FEMA model) in the United States.
----Dismantling the U.S. Treasury in the District of Columbia and creating
REGIONAL
     Treasuries(10)(This would include elimination of the federal income tax).
----Abolishing the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve as well as the
Federal Open
     Market Committee(FOMC) and in their place, creating REGIONAL Boards of
Governors(10)
     as well as Regional Open Market Committees(10) with federal reserve district
banks be-
     coming REGIONAL central banks with regional autonomy.
----Transferring Social Security tax payments to state trust funds as opposed to
the federal
     "trust fund."
----Returning all federal lands(including military bases) to the states and
creating REGIONAL
     defense departments.
----Making the state supreme courts the final word in all state cases, with
REGIONAL
     supreme courts deciding cases between states, and the federal supreme court
deciding
     cases between regions.

The purpose of these amendments is to literally defund and restructure the
federal government and transfer as much power as possible back to the states.
The time has come for REGION-
AL GOVERNMENT to take shape in the United States as this nation is simply too
big
and diverse to continue to be ruled from a hamlet called Washington D.C. FEMA by
the
way already has a plan on the books for regional government in the event the
federal
government should become non-functional in the event of some disaster (see
http://www.pbsjdfirm.com , Click on "Regional Contacts" at left, view map).
Needless to
say, many feel that the federal government has been non-functional for quite
some
time in many important areas affecting our nation's well-being and security.
   In any event, my purpose in emailing you is to encourage you to support a bill
calling
for a national constitutional convention. To add a sense of urgency to the
matter, consider the following executive orders that might be implemented in the
event of an economic collapse,
perhaps precipitated by escalating oil prices:

E.O. 10990 Seizure of all modes of transportation and control of highways and
seaports.
E.O. 10995 Seizure of all communications media in the United States.
E.O. 10997 Seizure of all electric power fuels and minerals, public and private.
E.O. 10999 Seizure of all means of transportation, including personal cars,
trucks or vehicles
                   of any kind and total control of highways, seaports and
waterways.
E.O  11000 Seizure of all American people for work forces under FEDERAL
supervision in-
                   cluding the splitting of families if the government finds it
necessary.

private.

INTERNATIONAL
                   TENSIONS AND ECONOMIC OR FINANCIAL CRISIS.
E.O. 11310 Empowers the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in
Executive
                   Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial
and legislative liaison,
                   to control all aliens, TO OPERATE PENAL AND CORRECTIONAL
                   INSTITUTIONS, and to advise and assist the President.
E.O. 11921 Empowers the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans
to
                   establish control over the mechanisms of production and
distribution, of energy
                   sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S.
financial in-
                   stitutions in any undefined national emergency. It also
provides that when a
                   state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress
cannot review the
                   action for six months.
E.O. 12919 Signed June 3, 1994 by President Bill Clinton. Encompasses all the
above
                   executive orders.

  Is this the future you envision for yourself and your children?
  My message is very simple . . . do unto the feds BEFORE they do unto you.
   Thank you for your time.

                                                                               
Sincerely,
