We The People ... Want Transparency in our Government

No law of any kind should be offered for final signature without at least 1 month of public review & explanation. It must be posted on the Internet in final form in sufficient time before signature for the following review process. Have you ever noticed that the law moves slowly when you are asking for redress? It costs a lot to get a lawyer to help you thread your way through the arcane processes? There is no hurry on that side. Congress must take that as a big fat clue & make changes to the process. If the votes only exist to pass a bill in one infinitesimal moment then that is a big fat clue that something is wrong.
-
Every member of a voting body must read the bill and add comments on the value & purpose of the bill. If they are not capable of doing this they must be impeached & recalled or removed.
-
Every bill must stand on it’s own & not be a conglomeration of revisions & changes to bills that are already too big & too complex to understand.
-
No bill should be originated or come up before congress until a sufficient number of the members of the public interact with their representatives supporting the idea. Congress must not just start writing laws on their own.
-
All bills must have a cause & effect analysis illustrating what the real outcomes of the law create; including the effects on the budget & the taxpayer.
-
The rules of the House & Senate must be reviewed & revised to make common sense & such revisions must adhere to the above 5 points.
-
The rules of the elections must be revised so that self-interest & the bread & circuses effect is but one third of the equation. I’m still working on this one [see: tags threefoldness] .
-
If I were a tea party person I would demand that the above be written in the charter or platform of any candidate seeking my vote. Failure is no option & impeachment would be the results if a candidate lied while signing his committment.
-
.... TBD (Your thoughts welcome!) One idea is that every person clerk or otherwise should make their names & contact id available so that we know who actually wrote the langueage of the law. Another idea is that laws & bills are just the first step after that comes what the executive branch euphamistically calles regulations & administration. How one is translated into the other must also become transparent. Another idea is that Congress & politicians in general are not going to do this on their own; thus removing their power & purse strings & thus job security. I suggest that we keep removing them from office until they implement such rules & keep repealing their laws at each subsequent election until such transparency has been achieved!
- People are innately good inside & want to work for a living & share what they have in a self-respecting manner. Funny, our governments don’t believe that do they? M$M & the power hungry create the society we see.
- Require all campaign stops & speeches be required public & "on the record".

& bring up Congressman Ron Paul's Federal Reserve Transparency Act Which has been referred to committee for about a year. The current status is here. According to government tracking website H.R. 1207 & S.B. 604 are the pertinent bills & from the news are very timely! Any government that does things in secret which it would never do in public & for which the majority of people would not vote to do if all the facts were known is criminal! If we fail to pay our taxes this government will put us in jail. It the government steals our money with tax laws & gives it away to foreign governments & international corporations for things we do not want it is they that are the criminals.







If you were accountable to a group of ~ 12 people & you were chosen to represent that 12 in another circle ... etc. Right now, the system is built on an election in which the office holders run around and lie about themselves & others to get the job & job-security of running your life. Isn't anyone else impressed by how absurd that is or the bread & circuses effect? The main idea I want to stress here is accountability & integrity - see also 14341.















Anarchy (from Greek: ἀναρχίᾱ anarchíā, "without ruler") may refer to any of the following:
- "No rulership or enforced authority."[1]
- "A social state in which there is no governing person or group of people, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the implication of disorder)."[2]
- "Absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to the absence or inefficiency of the supreme power; political disorder."[3]
- "Absence or non-recognition of authority and order in any given sphere."[4]
- "Acting without waiting for instructions or official permission... The root of anarchism is the single impulse to do it yourself: everything else follows from this." [5]

The WikiLeaks Assault on the Rule of Law and National Security :
Since Assange is not a citizen of this country and does not reside in the United States, it is unclear whether he has enough other contacts for the United States to seek his extradition and prosecution. If, for example, there was email correspondence between Manning (or whoever leaked the 91,000 documents) and Assange or one of his agents at WikiLeaks in which disclosure of classified information was solicited and accepted, and those emails went through a U.S. server, then that might be enough for federal prosecutors to reach Assange. But the Obama administration should not automatically assume that he is unreachable and the Justice Department should look hard at whether it has the ability to prosecute Assange as well as the leaker. If it cannot, then it should use its diplomatic leverage with our ally to see whether Assange can be prosecuted in Australia.




Julian Assange actions seem very well-reasoned to me ... especially his provisions for insurance. It is interesting to note that the website, wikiLeaks.org, apparently has lost its DNS records. Thanks to Google we can still see it in their cache here ... from which i have found wikileaks on facebook here, which i have liked.













Obviously we need to keep military secrets. That is not in question. Strangely enough secretary of defense, Gates, said that no military secrets have been compromised ... nor did he suspect that there were any in the poison pill. We need deal with actual military secrets differently than we deal with political secrets. If you keep munging those together we will never reach a common understanding.

The treaty is not secret. Why the rush? Remember that the confidence game depends upon urgency.






Generally, however, legal analysts say that Wall Street insider trading laws do not apply to Congress. As an open and public institution, the legal assumption has long been that any member of the public can have access to information about how Congress works. In practice, though, that's simply not true, as powerful members of Congress come into contact daily with market-moving tidbits. That gap between the law and the reality has made Capitol Hill a virtual free-fire zone for insider trading. Over the years, academic studies have found that members of the House of Representatives beat the market by as much as six percent per year and members of the Senate do even better than that. ...
Abramoff said that the most valuable type of information for Congressional insider trading is held by congressional investigators who pry deeply into corporate goings on. A particularly easy target is advance knowledge of the announcement of an investigative hearing into a company.
"Hearings under almost every circumstance are going to have a bad impact on a company," Abramoff said. "And so some staffers I've seen in the past talking about the fact that, 'Oh, I'm gonna go out and short that company.'"

POLL: Confusion reigns...
WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court ruled Friday that White House visitor logs for the president and most of his staff are not public information subject to disclosure requirements of the Freedom of Information Act.
The 3-0 decision would keep the visitor records confidential for up to 12 years after President Barack Obama leaves office.

First lady summit on food
marketing closed to media...
Well what's she is doing there seems to be something that should be done. Getting the "food industry" to re-orient to manufacturing and advertising of healthier food is, me thinks, a laudable endeavor. I'm glad somebody with some sort of klout has taken up this clarion call. Doing is apart from the dazzeling view of the public, and the incessant view of the obama bashers, is definitely indicated.






for example, in my rentonfoodcoop.org group, we just recently had some in semi deapth discussions about our own transparency to the community. i was for conducting our business entirely in the public eye ... others wanted a wall ... in the end we decided to make a secret part of the group. there are reasons for these walls. there are reasons against these walls. each wall, me thinks, needs to be carefully weighed.

Saying one thing to your donors & special audiences & another to the M$M the authenticity & openness reeks with deception. Remember how Romney said something meant to be private to a group of his donors & it got spread throughout the media - something about the lower x% wont care about some money issue (because they don't!) & it got distorted by the M$M?

Assange: Secrecy leads to incompetence in government
👍
i think secrecy bubbles are necessary for focus. but once the bubble produces something for the #world, then the secrecy bubble should burst in the context of that production. ← just thiking.live out loud, off the top of my head.
http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/15/house-moves-to-block-access-to-records-foia-242791 ← nothing changes except the smell of the swamp gets worse . The government elite are detached from the people.
FYI – the cartoon of the week:


#Trump using reasonable democrats added to votes from moderate republicans
to form a coalition might actually have the consequence of piratical legislation …

Xor, Pelosi & Schumer are leftist idealogues, but #CBG . Anyway I always root for a government shutdown in hopes that they quit doing things like sail their air boats around the swamp on taxpayer $$$



corruption is corruption,
no matter which side you are on.
What if there were no corruption?
This item is about transparency – don’t get lost!

From the 100th anniversary of RS’s Threefold CommonwealthRudolf Steiner developed his ideas about the Threefold Commonwealth and many other of his practical insights, such as biodynamic farming and Waldorf education, in response to the reality of his times. He sought an evolution of social life and all its aspects and would celebrate, even ennoble, what it means to be human in the face of an increasingly dehumanizing culture.
