If our starting point for this forum becomes the Declaration, Constitution, and Bill of Rights; but not case law nor some Manifesto, I'm in...
1. Is there a way to speed the "finding process" "for all who value freedom"? Databases, donor lists, 501(c)(3)'s, NGO's...
2. You mentioned about being able "to pledge our lives, fortunes, and sacred honor"... , that means we need to have moral people. So we have alot of re-teaching to do. Christian Bibles are good, pamphlets were one of the most important conveyors of ideas during our 1750-1760's imperial crisis... which media(s) should we use now?
3. On your last bullet point, IMHO if moral constitutionalists are voted into majority in all 3 branches for 12 or more years we can bring it back. Less time I think will get only part done.
Part reclaimed is better that what we have now.
4. Heritage Foundation has significant progress on many issues similar to your framework goals stated above. We should contact them.
Sir, this is excellent. Very similar considerations were made in 1776, and it is exciting to consider them again for how we may reset and build an even stronger, more resilient system than our brilliant forefathers were able to by examining our history and learning from it.
I am reminded of a story I once heard about how the senate came into being. Originally, there was only the House until one day two of our forefathers (I wish I could remember which ones) were sitting together drinking tea.
One of these two wanted a second legislative body, and in order to convince the other to agree, he poured his boiling hot tea into his saucer (which is what saucers were originally intended for), in order to cool it before drinking.
As he did so he impressed upon his companion that a second house was needed for the same reason his saucer was needed: to give tempers a chance to cool before a bill could become law.
His worry was that the house in its passion would recklessly pass legislation in the heat of the moment with little consideration of its consequence, and thus the senate was born - to slow the process down and allow cooler heads to prevail.
