Political Parties

Political parties as we know them did not exist when our founders declared independence and wrote our Constitution. The Contitnetal Congress worked together, not approving the wording of the Constitution untill all states would agree to its wording. While having differences, they worked until there was one set of words that all parties would agree on. They did it with our Delclaration of Independence, the did it with our Constitution. Should our founders have seen the effect on the people that parties would have in the future, they would have protected the people from those parties.

Protecting the People

• It should be a federal crime for anyone to force an elected representative to vote against his free will. This would appy to political parties. Once elected, the party may not take on any action that would forcefully influence the vote of a Congressman.
• Political parties with at least 10% of the members of the house or senate should be able to annually select a bill passed by less than two-thirds majority that had more than 75% of the votes from the same party as a unilateral bill for removal. Once selected, the bill will be null and void within one year. Members of the congress would then work together to come up with a replacement bill, hopefully one that will not be selected for removal the next year.
