Whereas the Constitution of the United States represents an affirmative grant of Powers by the People to the Federal Government,
Whereas the Federal Government has exceeded those Powers by continually expanding its scope beyond the limits prescribed by the People,
Whereas Congress has consistently failed to ask the People as required when it expands its granted Powers beyond the prescribed scope,
Whereas the Supreme Court is unable to provide effective Judicial oversight on the Legislative Powers of Congress, and whereas the Congress has willfully re-delegated a substantial number of those Powers to the Executive Branch,
Be it Resolved that the People shall re-establish an effective Balance of Powers between the States and the Federal Government, by passing the following Amendments to the United States Constitution:
Amendment A: If you don't vote, you don't contribute. No political party, elected representative, or candidate for federal office shall receive any financial contribution other than from individual US voters.
Amendment B: Only individuals shall possess and retain Natural Rights under the law. No collective, corporation, union, religious body, or political organization shall be construed to hold or possess Natural Rights.
Amendment C: Congress shall not re-delegate its legislative authority to any other branch of government, nor to any foreign power, nor to any international body.
Amendment D: The Rights of the People as defined in the First Ten Amendments shall be extended to all federal jurisdictions and incorporated into each of the several States.
Amendment E: No federal, state, or international laws or regulations shall supercede the meaning and intent of the Constitution of the United States.
Amendment F: Neither Congress nor the Judiciary nor the Executive Branch shall impose any unfunded mandate upon a State, nor place any condition upon a State for receiving federal money, except as stated directly in the Constitution of the United States.
Amendment G: Congress shall have no power to regulate commerce within a State, regardless of its effects outside the State, except as such commerce may be proven to affect the Public Health and Safety of the citizens of the United States, and the General Welfare of the United States.
Amendment H: General Welfare shall be construed to mean the ability of the several States to exist in peace and tranquility, and the protection of the common borders and territorial integrity of the United States of America.
Amendment I: Congress shall review and reauthorize all emergency authority granted to the Executive Branch at least once every year.
Amendment J: Any federal law or regulation may be rescinded or made null and void by the agreement of 2/3 of the legislatures of the several States.
Amendment K: The People shall retain the privilege to audit all federal expenditures, income, and borrowing, and the creation, disbursement, and disposition of any negotiable instruments by the federal government or its agencies.
Amendment L: No federal elected official shall receive pay during any year in which the federal budget is unbalanced.
Amendment M: No taxes shall be levied on income, but Congress may institute a uniform tax on the sale of goods, not to exceed 25% of the amount of sale. The 16th Amendment is hereby repealed.
Amendment N: Congress shall lay no new tax which is not approved in advance by a majority of the legislatures of the several States, nor shall it raise the national debt ceiling without approval by a majority of the legislatures of the several States.
