Our people are divided. Our elections are riddled with corruption, confusion and mismanagement. Our Bill of Rights is under assault. The Forever Wars are never ending. Our shadow government is a criminal enterprise milking the working class of their hard-earned taxes. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJust as technology, science, and medicine have advanced, so too must our government evolve to meet the needs and demands of our time. The \"Constitutional Republic\" envisioned by our founding fathers 250 years ago is now outdated. It was designed for a fledgling nation with the population of modern-day Toledo, Ohio. Our Constitution remains the bedrock foundation of our nation, but its application needs to be reformed to reflect the realities of today's United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book presents a bold vision for \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDirect Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, offering a clear path to reclaim our nation's future. Together, we can create a government that truly serves its people. We can fix it, we the people, and the time is now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"In 1776, the population of the entire United States was less than the population of Toledo, Ohio today. In 1776, without cars, electricity, internet, or advanced technology, and with such a small population, a \"Constitutional Republic\" made sense. It was a revolutionary leap away from the rule of Kings. It was a successful model that suited the times and it worked. But it has become obsolete. By clinging to an outdated, anachronistic mode of governing, we are creating a monster. And that monster will devour us if we don't get it under control.\"--Joseph Jenkins\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-1096077\"\u003eJoseph C.
