PI Issues

 

The Fundamental Rights Amendment
PI Constitutional Amendment Proposal I

We the people, in order to affirm the universal American belief in human freedom, hereby further declare the inalienable and fundamental rights of all citizens; those rights inherent in a system of ordered liberty, deeply rooted in the conscience of the American people, and among the privileges and immunities enjoyed by all American citizens.

Section 1. The following rights shall not be infringed or violated in the United States:

i) The right to privacy, especially autonomy over one's home, body and mind

ii) The right to pursue a profession in any lawful trade or avocation, to enjoy the rewards of one's own industry, and to trade and contract freely, subject only to restrictions necessary for the general public welfare

Section 2. Every citizen shall have standing to challenge, in any court of law in the United States, any federal or state act, agency, law or statute believed to violate these rights.

 

The New Democracy Amendment
PI Constitutional Amendment Proposal II

We the people, in order to secure a more responsive and representative government for the Nation's future, hereby establish term limits for Congress, provide for the nonpartisan and nonpolitical redrawing of voting districts, and establish a system of direct democracy by which Americans can overturn unjust or unpopular Federal legislation.

Section 1. All elected officials to Congress, both in the Senate and House of Representatives, shall be limited to a maximum of three (3) consecutive terms in office.

Section 2. All Congressional voting districts should be redrawn by the Census Bureau in order to preserve geographic continuity and demographic accuracy; Congress itself should have no authority or influence in the redistricting process.

Section 3. A national public referendum, constituting either 70% of the national voting public, or 3/4ths of all State legislatures, may abolish any federal legislation, spending measure, or newly-created agency or government organization.
