The Jackson Amendment - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Every year, the federal government grows, makes undeliverable promises and sinks further into debt. There is no real expectation that this trend will ever change. Every year the country grows more divided politically and the citizens are becoming even more polarized on issues. It is all too simple to blame the two major political parties who argue constantly and denigrate each other personally and politically. In the end Democrats and Republicans do the same thing. They expand an increasingly ineffective federal government.The failing government is not best described as between Democrats and Republicans or their campaigning issues and methods. Individual citizens have very strong beliefs and expectations of government duties and responsibilities. These feelings are deeply divided across this nation. The best way to generalize this difference in common terms is that “red” states and “blue” states are just plain different in very basic and fundamental ways. It is also apparent that there are philosophical differences between red and blue states. These differences are widening and increasingly exacerbated by uncompromising and nonproductive Washington, D.C. politics. On one hand, the red state advocates demand that the blue state believers adopt red state philosophy and abandon blue state principles and vice versa. This escalating desire to use force in politics could very well lead to another civil war The objective of this book is to suggest a constitutional amendment that would directly address the red state and blue state division wherein both sides would be able to follow their dreams without the interference of the opposing side. I strongly believe that this amendment is feasible, can be implemented peacefully, and most importantly, it’s “Constitutional.” The proposed Jackson Amendment would divide the current United States into two new independent sovereign countries: one being the “Blue Country” and one being the “Red Country.”Obviously, Washington D.C. will never consider a constitutional amendment that would decimate their political power. However, the states can amend the Constitution without Washington D.C. It is interesting to note that, as of early 2019, nearly two thirds of the states have already expressed a desire to call a Convention of States for the purpose of drafting proposed amendment(s) to the Constitution. Also, as of early 2019, fifteen states have passed legislation calling for such a convention. All the reader needs to do to get current information is to google “Convention of States.”
