In this chapter we present our action plan, and its rationale, for neutralizing the oligarchy's power sufficiently to obtain a Congress which will seek to pursue our society's legitimate constitutional goals. We follow that with a list of such goals, and the needed actions, mostly legislative, to attain them. The Oligarchy's weakness which we intend to exploit is its continuing need to lie, and to lie convincingly, in order to get elected and to stay elected. If polygraphs can be used to help seek out spies in our FBI and in our nuclear weapons labs, how much more important is it to assure that our policy- making legislators are also honestly in the service of the public, and honestly honoring their oaths of office to support the Constitution and the freedoms of our citizenry which the Constitution was specifically designed to try to protect. We propose, very briefly, to provide for voluntary, privately administered polygraph tests to be given to candidates running in primary elections for state and federal legislative offices, and then to report to the public whether or not each such candidate is being truthful in claiming to support and defend the Constitution, as his oath requires.
Much more detail is provided in our chapter. .
