🌌 How a Broken System Became My Compass --- I didn’t set out to write constitutional amendments. Honestly, I was just furious. I was working on a Michigan child protection bill — something that mattered deeply to me — and it hit me: even if I wrote the perfect bill, the system was stacked against it. Because in Lansing (and in D.C.), most bills don’t even get a vote. They disappear in committee, out of sight, out of mind. That was my breaking point. And, strangely, my starting point. --- Everyone says Congress is “gridlocked.” That’s too polite. It’s broken. 📊 In 2025, over 10,000 bills were introduced in Congress. Only 34 became law. That’s 99% buried. Not debated, not voted on — just erased. I decided: if the system is broken, fixing just one bill isn’t enough. We have to fix the process itself. --- That’s where my Emotion into Action Framework (EAF) came in. I took all that outrage and asked: how do I turn it into something durable, testable, defensible? I stress-tested every draft: Against average people (“is it fair?”), Against lawyers and judges (“is it lawful?”), Even against bad-faith actors (“can they game it?”). Every critique made it stronger. Every silence became data. Every failure turned into an artifact. --- The result: a proposal that compels votes without forcing passage. Citizens can petition. Local governments can pass resolutions. States can weigh in. If any trigger is met, legislators get 30 session days to hold a vote. They can still say no — but they can’t hide anymore. Transparency is the safeguard. “Follows Intent” prevents bait-and-switch. And everything is public. --- But this isn’t just about one amendment. The bigger story? Anyone can do this. With the right tools, anyone can turn their outrage into something antifragile: proposals that defend themselves, ideas that get stronger under pressure. That’s what Praxis Foundries are for — to make the method portable. To let people “steal our work” and start their own campaigns. --- I’m not asking for blind support. I’m asking for critique, collaboration, and scrutiny. 📑 Drafts + toolkits live here: 🔗
