jlf1961 -> RE: Lets make a deal (12/16/2012 12:29:12 PM)

Alright, so you have a problem with my first offer.
I will change it.
First in reference to the first amendment:
Lets go from
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
To
Congress shall make no law religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Now since it seems that some of you think it is just me that want abortion banned, please by all means google anti abortion groups. There is a large population in the United States (though not a majority) that want abortions banned, the I am referring to the Christian right.
There about as many people on the left that want guns banned, although, like Mike, there are a smaller number of people that want a limit on the types of guns
allowed for private ownership.
So back to abortion, an amendment banning elective abortions that are not the result of rape, incest or threaten the life of the mother if she carries it to full term. Now some abortions will remain legal.
Now to continue, we also add an amendment to the constitution that requires any person elected to office, be it state or federal pass a test on moral beliefs and ethical character. Also in this amendment, restrictions to who besides private individuals can donate to his election campaigns, business entities are no longer allowed to donate money in an election, the only organizations allowed to donate to elections are religious organizations as represented by the religious beliefs of the population of the United States.
Finally, since we got rid of that pesky establishment of religion clause in the first amendment, we make another amendment to the constitution to establish a new branch of government.
Made up of representatives of every religion or denomination found in the united states with no weight given to the size of the religious followers in the religion or denomination.
The purpose of this new branch of government is to establish a moral code for the citizens of the United States based on the religious teachings and writings of the religions represented without approval of congress or the president and immune from decisions by the supreme court.
This branch of government will also establish spiritual courts each with a panel consisting of representatives of the religions sitting on the main board of moral standards.
This court will have the power to imprison or exile violators of the established moral code to federal prison or US territories outside the 50 States.
There, the US is no longer a solely Christian nation, the religious tenets of every religion is represented will be made part of the law of the land.
Prayer will return to the public schools.
Beginning in middle school, classes will be mandatory for the study of all religions found in the United States with the goal of allowing the student to make an educated choice of the religion he/she would follow as an adult.
There that takes care of the moral and spiritual decay as described by the still vocal moral majority.
Now for another problem faced by the United States.
Illegal Immigration.
Congress set a precedent in the early 1900's by order federal troops to patrol the Mexican border. Let's do it again, we are bringing troops back to the states from Iraq and Afghanistan, let us not waste the manpower.
Changes in Criminal Statutes.
Any crime committed using a firearm whether injury or death occurred results in a mandatory life sentence.
Any crime committed in which an injury or death occured due to the use of a firearm will carry a mandatory death sentence.
Rape, Child molestation, incest carries a mandatory death sentence.
Drug dealers, traffickers and those associated with the transportation and distribution of illegal narcotic are no longer classified as criminals, they are terrorists.
Convictions of these crimes carries a mandatory death sentence.
Anyone suspected of being involved in domestic terrorism will be held without bond until the first preliminary hearing, and if found guilty by a court of law the mandatory sentence will be death.
Marijuana will be legalized and taxed according to the same standards for tobacco products and alcohol.
Marijuana cultivation will be governed by an allotment system same as tobacco.
The end product will meet strict quality control standards as set by the FDA.
Now finally, for the people who had this country stolen from them.
All people of native American decent of 25% or higher will receive 1000 acres of land to be allotted from federally owned lands.
Full blooded Native Americans will receive a lump sum cash payment of 10 million dollars, half blood 5 million and 1/4 blood will receive 2.5 million
Indian reservations will be given the status of states and have full representation in the senate and house of representatives.
Those African American who have a proven ancestral link to being held in slavery will receive 5 million dollars in a lump sum payment.
And of course the second amendment goes away.
All of this proposal covers every social and ethnic complaint raise since 1900.
