Real change is rightly an election issue,  but  our  strategy  is
dead  wrong. No president, Clinton, who I favor, Bush who I voted
for, or Perot if he comes back will have the power  to  change  a
corrupted  Washington or sick America as needed.  We need to know
that, and need to know that Congress can make those  changes  but
prospers  as  it  is and won't change unless forced to do so.

The only way short of revolution to  force  Congress  to   effect
needed change  is  for us all to 'vote correctively' as below in-
stead of responsively as before for it's candidates.   This   can
work.   If  this appeals to you, post this to all the newspapers,
TV editors, talk shows, b-boards,  discussion  groups,  magazines
etc.   you   can by  Oct  5th. We are very short of time. This is
our only outlet.  And we need the widest possible  publicity  and
immediate  participation  on  thru  Nov 3rd.

The need for change is clear. Public debt,  billions  of  dollars
for interest, and  deep  political  rot cripple  us. We work hard
but get poorer each year.Ten million of us need  but  can't  find
work.  Eighty  million  have  deficient  health protection.   Our
lives and our families, our social and natural environs, our  ci-
ties,  money,  decency and honesty all deteriorate.  Our children
are poorly educated. Crime is rampant. We are deeply into econom-
ic  and  social  distress.   These  public  failures  need public
effort,  our government's, to correct but only  neglect  or  talk
issue.

The solution; Elect to Congress only those persons  who  make  an
enforceable  promise to initiate and or advance seven correctives
listed below or resign. That is reasonable for those with  public
not  private  service  at heart as the correctives are needed for
our children and families, our  communities  and  democracy,  are
essential  for  modernly competitive free enterprise, and are al-
ready being paid for by all of us one way or another and  univer-
sally wanted.

a)  Congress is to conduct the public business not on our  credit
but on it's "Pay As You Go" basis; is to annually, except in time
of war, decrease  the  Citizens'  Public  Debt,  and  increase  a
Citizen's  Tax  Reserve  under an independent 'Citizen's Reserves
Board'; and is to ensure efficiency in and fund fairly the public
business  with  a  2%  tax on all gross incomes without exception
plus an ascending tax on all such income as needed.

b) Congress is to insulate the public  business  against  private
abuse  by limiting campaigns for and incumbents and staff of pub-
lic office to use and receive only public funds and  service,  by
discouraging  over eight years in office for members of Congress,
and by rewarding well and retiring richly members in good  stand-
ing for such service.

c)  Congress is to establish from strong members a Citizens' Pol-
itical  Action   Committee to obtain, report publicly, and advise
Congress and the President of all complaint and want asked  of  a
reliable  sample  of citizens selected randomly nation-wide every
nine months and to develop, successfully promote,and be responsi-
ble for suitable action.

d) Congress is to provide or decisively to ensure for us Interna-
tionally  Superior Public Youth Care to include academic, techni-
cal, life-skills, and social schooling and at least six  months
full time apprentice or on-job training; Health Care; Child Care;
and Elder Care. A strong, richly job and profit  producing,  self
reliant,  and sustainable domestic economy:  a new Broad Whole-
someness of Family and Natural Environments: And  encourage  bal-
ances between populations and resources and between expense and
need.

e)  Congress is to enable all law-abiding citizens to enjoy their
inalienable  rights  to  life  and  work to sustain it;* to well-
ordered liberty and the lawful pursuit of happiness as  they  de-
fine  that;  and  to fairly informed, collective-control of their
public governments.

f)  Congress is to sustain all above  before  other  actions;  to
prevent submission in law, regulation, or administration of these
needs and wants to any member's or any domestic or  foreign  spe-
cial   interest; and to serve the nation and it's citizens al-
ways substantially as  above  and   before  any  intervenor  or
lesser constituency.  Further, members who promise as above are
expected to resign if asked by ten constituents and presented le-
gally acceptable proof of inexcusable indifference to or non per-
formance as promised.

g) Congress is to report quarterly it's action as  above  to  in-
clude results, and voting by member, and is to expect censure and
resignation or recall of members whose  voting  or  other  record
shows  substantive non-support of or indifference to these correc-
tives.

As intended, these actions will submit Congress to our  citizens'
common  sense   and  reasonable  demand instead of to our politi-
cians' and their paying clients' profit, as now.

To participate:  Adapt the above as a letter, editorial,  or  an-
nouncement  and  mail  it to your newspapers. Mail a copy to your
Congressional candidates today or by Oct 9th at the latest and ask
for  a  written  reply 'publicly promising or not promising' as in
para 4 by 22 Oct.  Publicize that reply, and vote, and  encourage
others  to vote, for those who so promise in their written reply.
And Good Luck!  We need that, and  'enough  good  voters'  firmly
correcting Congress on Nov 3rd !

*The right to work to sustain life is and  must  be  held  to  be
unalienable. But as profit-driven employers can employ only those
from whom they profit, all needing others must  be  publicly  as-
sisted  to reliable and respect-building self- support thru self-
employment in small business or on productive public land: Or  as
employees  in  very  efficiently run necessary work of benefit to
only the public in common. Nothing less is  psychologically,  so-
cially, morally, or economically acceptable.
