the best change we can get is a common presidency with people’s power.
thomas jefferson said, people should vote every 20 years on constitutional issues. new york state is doing so.
today we see the wonder of saving passengers of an airplane accident, happened in hudson river.
two other reasons for attention to new york:
United Nations headquaters: strenghtening UN helps to solve world challenges like climate change…
new york shows how constitutional renewing of the US can happen. possibly some think a wonder would be necessary to get that done. more wonder are possible and listen to stevie wonder to get energy for better futures.
obama could make a meeting with governors and members of congress to open the way for that peoples constitutional assembly.
people should not wait for that and establish an internet constitutional assembly soon, as first step.
many good reasons for constitutional reforms:
preventing war by strenghtening UN and US-congress
creating a new currency-system/money-system, based on social justice and deep ecology. billions are given now for economy-crises-reasons, about 5 billions get lost by destroying nature at the same time!
electoral reforms: see for example brookings institution
direct democracy on national level: e-democracy…
stop for death penalty: many innocent were killed by state decisions, a threat against human dignity.
…
deep ecology – direct democracy – organic security!
