New Constitution

I agree with what many have said and it is time to make an immediate change of course for our country. I believe the first meaningful step is to convene a Constitutional Convention to restructure the framework of our country. Although I wanted to explain all the parts and their reasoning, I don’t believe it will wait any longer so I will provide my version of the rewrite. I’ve been trying to find how to contact each state’s Legislature, Governor, Representatives or Senators and major media outlets, but most don’t have a direct e-mail address anymore. What a shame.

PREAMBLE We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish Equitable Justice, establish and maintain Domestic Tranquility, provide for our Common Defense, promote the General Welfare and protect the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do with the consent of the Several States establish this Constitution of the United States of America as the sole source of Federal Government authority as specifically enumerated.
