The reasoning …
The reasoning behind this question is more amendments have dealt with the extension of voting rights than any other single issue, a National Referendum Amendment (referendum only, initiative not supported on federal level) would form the next logical term in the series. The concept is to elevate to a statutory level the process by which the Constitution itself was written by elected representatives, and then referred to We the People for a public vote.

I agree with you on …
I agree with you on that point, I think they need to do that with all of the Bills , acts, amments and any other
addons that they want to do. What do you think.

In April 2008 views here reached approx 7,000 but someone at youtube cut views back to 1,100 similar as reported on other channels…effect lowers it in search results. HOWEVER THERE IS NO AUTHORITY EXCEPT BY DIVINE AUTHORITY. Just as it has been necessary evils come…just as is doctrine, the Inside Jokers have action until each their appointed times, when it will be even more necessary evils must go…then they’ll be comin for ya right thru the floor just like that financial player in “GHOST.”

It almost looked like they were going to put this question up during the Democratic Debate in July, right after the questions on healthcare and taxes…it was on the background monitors a few times every night during the CNN weeklong show explaining the new debate format…but then the infamous snowman question came up. Now however, for the Republican Debate, it has all the seriousness the spin doctors, such as Bay Buchanan, are looking for regarding how a bill really becomes a law…

Right bjhorton2005, this is why so many are at their wits end over how to stop the hostile takeover of individual freedom…and environmental survival in a broken system.

It’s all an imbalance between corporate/captialist vs. socialist/humanist forces. Re healthcare the challenge here is to come up with a plan that can pay for expanding coverage, while preserving the profit motive for medical advances…by first fixing the process to provide a motive for bringing the competing plan forward.

And possibly more. …
And possibly more. I am not a “communist” or wtv, but I just beleive when it’s up to lobbyists and corporate America to set policy, things are very wrong. I mean there are examples everywhere. Do you think the politicians who recieve 100,000$ ranging up to 800,000$ from say.. the insurance companies in America are going to revolutionize medicine, and take money out of the hands of intermediary companies? Same goes for oil. I think that America is in worse shape than anyone realizes.

Nice video. I am sorry it took me a while to get to watching it. Our biggest problem in America, the one that stems all other problems is our cut-throat capitalist way. I am in no way against it completely, but there are areas that it is not appropriate. Public libraries, school systems, sometimes power grids are somewhat socialist. At least they are mainly socialist ran-free programs. Healthcare should be another of those.

I think capnarness is right on target about the public vote thing and the maturing of the democratic process. I am glad he is bringing this up.

I support 100%. Fact is, our Congress has no idea most of the time what exactly is in the bills they are voting for! They’re written by lobbyists and far too often never even read by Congress and the Senate. So, it would first require Congress to actually do the job they’re elected to do and that is make/form policy. Right now, their main job is campaigning.
