    An old problem. "Prudence hath made cowards of us all." When the prophet Isaiah went into hiding, he told God "I'm the last who believes in you." God replied, "There are 6,000 others." Where were those 6,000? Hiding, but waiting, hoping, for the moment they no longer needed to hide. Shakespeare: "A brave man dies but once, a coward many times." Fact: most of us are the 6,000 hiding, dying many times, waiting for the moment it's safe. Fact: Judges dare not be part of the 6,000 -- but they, too, are human. Fact: I'm more often with the cowering 6,000 than with Isaiah. I call it "diplomacy", but in my heart know better.

    Our political system is analog, our information system digital. Not compatible, not functional.

    The reduction of the size of government at the Feferal and local levels and in leveraging technology to replace administrative functions whilst eliminating the duplication of effort, brings us to The Convention of States (Action) - This is the raison d'etre behind the Convention of States (Action) movement: ¤ Term Limits for ALL federal, elected representatives ¤ Reduce the size of the federal government in numbers terms ¤ Cap the amount of money that Congress can spend & impose strict ceilings to budgets through an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution = Codified in Law. These are the initiatives, supported by a pathway, as laid out in Article V of the U.S. Constitution where the citizenry & people, take back power! God Bless America! 🦅🗽🇺🇸 ¤

The government doesn't give Us Out Freedoms or Our Rights, or Liberty, those come from God, to Each And Every One Of Us! The federal government is supposed to keep foreign countries from attacking Us! They have taken upon themselves to monitor, tax, and legislate every facett of Our Lives!

    As a US citizen, I don't live in a "democracy" whatever that is. I 'm living in what is supposed to be a democratically elective constitutional republic. In particular, my country is supposed to be fundamentally a union of 50 soverign states. Almost all of the government should (and originally did) exist at the state and local level. Modulo national defense, more than 99% of the federal administrative state should never have existed. Government agencies should be created (and destroyed) ONLY by the mutual agreement of voter majorities in individual localities or states and possibly by mutual agreement with voter majorities in other localities and states. Gov't structure should never come into existence solely by the action of congress, state legislatures or city councils and MOST CERTAINLY NOT by the action of existing government.
