"LETS START OUR OWN, BUT THIS TIME LETS DO IT RIGHT!"

Good mornin! I have decided to throw our current people out of power, National and local, and fix the current broken system. Our first problem is to make the wording in our new Constitution very concise, so that it isn't twisted every which way by sleazy lawyers looking to subvert its meaning to the benefit of some corporation looking to enhance their bottom line. We have to keep it simple because the people of this country seem to be simple minded and can't understand the complexities of a representative form of government, which is evident by their choice of the current administrations. OK, lets begin.....

Revision #1... No person can serve more than two consecutive terms in any office or position.

Revision #2... The TAX System will change to a Flat Tax System with the starting amount set at a percentage amount above the poverty level. Deletion of all deductions in all categories and removable of all tax sheltering systems. Corporations and or any enity which has income from any source, will be considered as an individual. The percentage amount of taxaction will be a single fixed rate covering all amounts of income. The percentage rate will be visited once a year by congress ( APRIL 15th ) and adjusted as needed.

Revision #3... All judges will be elected to office by popular vote and their term limited to two consecutive terms. The number of positions available will be dictated by the Court System Case Load.

Revision #4... All elections will be by popular vote.

Revision #5... The House and Senate will present to the public once a year on April 15th, ALL measures and bills in their final form to be voted on by the people by popular vote. No amendment will be attached to any form of legislation that does not relate specifically to that legislation.

Revision #6... Congress will stay in session for eleven months.

Revision #7... No person or organizing shall transfer by any means any gratuity in any form to government employees or their families. All lobbying can only be done in the Front Halls of the Capital Buildings and lobbyist are forbidden access to locker rooms, shower rooms, dressing rooms, exercise rooms, or any room where they may come in contact with government employees.

Revision #8... Revisions can be revised by popular vote.

This is just the highlights of the revised Revisions. Like any good government it 's purpose is to serve the publics best interest by letting the people control the process directly.
So what would you include?
