The founding fathers of the USA did a great job in writing the constitution but they could have never imagined what the future would hold. The country has simple out grown the current constitution ,and the old one has been patched long enough. It is time for a complete re-write to more closely define many terms to help simplify judgment on many issues and introduce new ones like;
1: taxation - see http://www.nbsforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2045
2: Defining marriage as personal religious commitment not a state sponsored legal item.
3: Defining the term person as a human being regardless of age, sex, religion, and color.
4: Term limits of 20 years of total political service, this would be a sum of local ,state ,and federal service - to help eliminate career politicians.
5: Campaign funding more clearly defined to eliminate soft money, corporate and union contributions, and keep fundraising to $10,000 max per person.
6: Make a balanced budget mandatory.
7: Eliminate the ATF , DOE ,and IRS.
8: Merge the CIA , FBI , NSA, INS, DIA, and Homeland Security into one much smaller department with much more clearly defined rules and a publicly reported budget.
9: Give line item veto power to the President
10: Eliminate the Presidential power to wage war with out a congressional declaration.
11: Define the military?s roll as a defensive force only.
12: Decentralize power away from the federal government out to the states.
13: Add most of the current amendments to the actual body on the constitution, along with the bill of rights.
14: Eliminate the electoral collage
15: Phase out social security
What else would you add to this list?
