How many significantly new economic ideas have been presented to the world in the last 50 years?  Communism has fallen.  Socialists have been elected in many European governments. And Capitalism's basic ideas are still virtually the same after more than 100 years, except for changes brought about by the Great Depression and F.D.R's New Deal.  Provisionalism is an entirely NEW economic system, based on cooperation, and combining the best features of Capitalism and Socialism, plus some completely NEW IDEAS.  Changing times usually DEMAND new and better ideas.  And certainly the world has changed dramatically in the past 50 years.

Summary State Legislatures Plan

A Verbal Summary of – The P T State Legislatures Plan 

 

                The primary purpose of – The P T State Legislatures Plan (which is – a sub-plan – of The P T Plan) – is for The P T Partyto gain CONTROL of 2/3 or more of the seats in both houses of ¾ or more of the states.  That is to enable ¾ or more of the states – NOT to start with Article V and go from therebut TO AMEND Article V’s provisions for amendment – and go from THERE.  The intention is to – amend the provisions for amendment – to enable Congress - to propose “amendments and/or revisions” of the Constitution – but when the proposal is for revision – Congress shall have the power to call A National Constitutional Revision Convention – with equal representation by delegates from ALL of the states – and THEN for the revised Constitution (having been ratified by 2/3 of the delegates) – to be submitted to ALL of the American electorate for ratification – by a 2/3 or more majority vote. 

 

The Proposed – Amendment of Article V’s Provisions for Amendments 

 

                The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, may propose amendments to this Constitution and shall submit such a proposed amendment or amendments to a vote of ALL eligible American voters for ratification by a 2/3 or more majority vote.  Also, the Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, may propose a significant revision of this Constitution, and in such case, shall have the power to call for – A National Constitutional Revision Convention – with equal representation by delegates from ALL of the states.  Furthermore, Congress shall have the power to pass laws governing the details of operation of such a revision convention, however, the revised Constitution must be passed by a 2/3 or more majority vote of all delegates, and shall then be submitted to the entire American electorate and must be ratified by a 2/3 or more majority vote of ALL eligible voters.  Additionally, a specific amendment or amendments to this Constitution may be proposed by petitions signed by ½ or more of the eligible voters of ½ or more of the states.  When such a requirement is met, the proposed amendment or amendments shall be submitted to the entire American electorate and must be ratified by a 2/3 or more majority vote of ALL eligible voters.  Similarly, a call for a significant revision of this Constitution may be made by petitions signed by ½ or more of the eligible voters of ½ or more of the states.  When such a requirement is met, it shall automatically be a call for – A National Constitutional Revision Convention.  The operation of such a convention shall be governed by previous provisions of this amendment article, and also, ratifications of such a revised Constitution shall be governed by previous provisions of this amendment article.  Nevertheless, no revision of this Constitution shall deny equal representation to every state in the Senate, as well as representation which is proportional to the population of every state in the House of Representatives.

 

Notes On More Direct Democracy

 

                When our original Constitution was written, ratification was made by a very small number of persons.  Article VII (7), stipulated that ratification would be by the conventions of 9 states (out of 13, which is a little less than ¾ ). That, and other aspects of our original Constitution, reflected – a lack of actual trust in “the people” – by our political leaders – at that time.  For example, our original Constitution – did NOT – allow the direct election of the President, Vice President and state Senators.  Over the past 220 year, our “democracy” has gradually become more “democratic.”  This proposed – amendment of the Article on amendments“opens up our democracy even more directly to ‘the people’.”  It sends any proposed amendment or amendments – directly to ALL of the people for a vote – instead of to the legislatures.  It also sends – a revised Constitution directly to ALL of the people for a vote – instead of the legislatures.  Yet, my proposals for – more direct democracy as part of Thomasan Democracy – don’t stop there. This proposed amendment to the Article on amendments – also – puts more power directly into the hands of the people, the REAL people, the “ordinary and average Americans” who are the majority.  It gives THEM (as well as Congress) the power to propose a specific amendment or amendments, along with any possible future – significant revision or revisions of our Constitution. 

 

 

Verbal Summary of P T Plan

A Verbal Summary of The P T Plan 

 

                The primary purpose of – The P T Plan – is to establish Provisionalism and Thomasan Democracy in the entire United States (or perhaps in 1 or more of the states, such as – PA).  To be a little more specific – it is a plan to follow the existing US Constitution’s provisions for Amendment, but to go farther than just a few amendments – it is to – revise it – to enable a legal and peaceful – conversion of the US economic system FROM Capitalism TO Provisionalism – as well as to convert our current American democracy TO Thomasan Democracy.  The Plan (an abbreviation of – The P T Plan) starts by forming – a completely new national political party The P T Party – with sub-organizations of it in EVERY STATE.  Next, the party actively seeks out “ordinary people”, average Americans, from the middle and lower class MAJORITY – to become party candidates – in every Congressional district of every state – to oppose every existing Republican and Democratic representative in the House of Representatives and the Senate.  This is with the intention of – “voting everyone out” – that is, voting OUT of OFFICE – all of the many “incumbents” who have held those offices for a long time, yet, have cooperated with – “the ruling elite minority” – to keep AN EXCLUSIVE HOLD on political power for THEIR benefit – while SHUTING OUT virtually ALL members of the middle and lower class MAJORITY.  As a secondary purpose – this action is to – send a WARNING to all present and future political leaders that – “the people”, the majority, have come  to – recognize and applya greater power by their majority votesto bring about a LEGAL and PEACEFUL “revolution” – whereby they CAN and WILL – VOTE OUT the entire gang of government officials, IF they get disgusted with their actions or lack of actions – as well as – to bring about a LEGAL and PEACEFUL “revolution” to significantly CHANGE entire systems.  For decades and generations, the current “gang’ of entrenched politicians, have shown little interest in or willingness to effectively help – to actually put significant political power in the hands of “the people”, the REAL people, the majority of “ordinary people.”  Therefore, they cannot and should not be trusted to cooperate with the majority of Americans to establish “Prov.” and “T.D.”, which better serves THEIR INTERESTS and which will ultimately give that majorityeven more political poweras well as the power to have some democratic control over the economy and their own “economic fate” – FOR THE FIRST TIME.  The members of The P T Party – will ONLY vote for P T Party and “Pro Prov.” candidates, while totally ignoring all Republican and Democratic candidates.   All of that is for the ultimate purpose of – gaining complete control over Congress – to begin passing laws which better serve the interests of – the middle and lower class majority.  In particular, that includes, according to Article V (5) of the Constitution, having ¾ of the members in the House AND Senate vote to – send a proposal for the REVISION of the US Constitution to ALL the states to expand and modify that document to establish – Thomasan Democracy – and Provisionalism.

 

Text of – Article V (5) of the Constitution – Provisions for Amendment 

 

                The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

 

 

Details of Phase 1 of P T Plan

The 3 Phases and 33 Steps of The P T Plan  (“P T” stands for Provisionalist

and Thomasan Democratic Plan – to establish them)

(In brief and simple – outline form)

 

Phase 1:  The Election of The “Pre” – P T Government 

 

1.  The Intention of Creating - The P T Party - (Provisionalist – Thomasan Democracy):  Those who want to convert the American economy FROM Capitalism TO Provisionalism, as well as modify and expand our current American democracy TO Thomasan Democracy – will need to start by forming – a completely new political party.  There are 2 reasons for that:  1. No one who really wants to apply The Plan should trust the members and leaders of the 2 established American political parties – the Republican and the Democratic parties – because they are in fact part of – “the establishment”, part of the problem.  Some of them, maybe even a lot of them, might SAY they support The Plan (short for – The P T Plan), but we all know that politicians can be liars, opportunists or obstructionists.  It would be much better for a large group of “ordinary citizens”, people who were never a part of the existing political system, people who are from the middle and lower class majority, to form a new party – which they can organize, control and take action with themselves. 2.  To establish such very new, innovative and even “peacefully revolutionary” systems such as – the Prov. (short for – the Provisionalist system) and – TD (short for – Thomasan Democracy) – it almost necessitates a totally new political party. That way, everyone and everything about The Plan and the people who want to apply it is truly and totally new.

2.  The Intention of Replacing EVERY Member of the US Congress:  Along with a totally new political party, the best way to begin applying The Plan, and establishing a whole new economic system and a modified and expanded democracy – IS to make it a point to offer candidates – for every seat in Congress (House and Senate) with the intention of  “voting everyone out”, and starting completely fresh.  That is the only way to GUARANTEE that there are – no obstructionists – left in Congress – to obstruct, sabotage, revise or weaken The Plan or the intended organization of the new Economic and Political governments. 

3.  The Intention of Replacing the President and Vice-President:  For all the same reasons as step 2, candidates from WITHIN The P T Party, who are “ordinary people”, who will truly represent the majority, should be offered as candidates for President and Vice-President as part of this plan – to change the entire, existing American government as a prelude – to changing the entire American way of government and way of handling an economic system. 

4.  The P T Party Begins Forming – A Tentative Conversion Plan (From Cap. To Prov.):  It will be necessary for the P T Party to begin forming a more or less detailed plan to deal with all of the major and minor problems and complications in – actually changing everything about the existing government and economy TO the details of Prov. and TD.  That is because it would be risky and senseless to try to begin doing all of that AFTER a new Congress is elected.  A great deal of “lead time” is required for such a massive operation.  This will become – The Very Detailed CONVERSION Plan To “Prov.” And “TD.”   

5.  The P T Party Begins Forming – A Tentative:  First National Economic Plan:  For the same reasons that The P T Party must start early to formulate a more or less detailed plan for the conversion of Capitalist systems to Provisionalist systems – The P T Party – must begin formulating at least a tentative plan forThe First (US) National Economic Plan.  With that general plan, containing some details, a committee of the newly elected “Pro Prov.” Congress should meet with P T Party leaders and technical advisors to refine – The First National Economic Plan – on the basis of Provisionalist principles, especially the  “MEPNessities”high, mid and low PRIORITIES – plus, along the organizational lines of the Economic Government, specifically – the  Ministries of:  1. Planning and Prioritization.  2. Production and Provision of Services.  and 3. Distribution of Goods and Services.  That way, once the entire Provisionalist Economic Government is established by the Revised U.S. Constitution – and all elective offices are filled – The Ministry of Planning and Prioritization can finalize all of the details and apply them.  Then, a well planned Prov. economy will begin. 

6.  Assembly of a Group of “Pro Prov.” Candidates:  As the new P T Party is forming, it should seek out worthy “P T” candidates for EVERY SEAT in Congress among all of the states.  They  MUST BE“Pro Prov.” candidates who understand – The P T Plan and understand and fully agree with the ideas of Provisionalism and Thomasan Democracy.  IF the party is satisfied with them as candidates – it will encourage every P T Party member in every district to fully turn out to vote for our candidate, as well as encourage every member of the middle and lower class MAJORITYto ignore any and all Republican and Democratic party candidates in those districts, on the basis of the idea that – they are NOT truly representative of the American majority, they don’t really intend to serve the interests of that majority and only “Pro Prov.” candidates will put the American economy and government into the hands of “ordinary people”, for the first time – and will begin to establish a new economic system which solves the BIG 4 problems of Capitalism, and which will BEST SERVE the economic NEEDS of all Americans. 

7.  Candidates Sign – “A Contract With the People”:  To guarantee that the whole group of “Pro Prov.” candidates – WILL DO what they are being elected TO DOafter they are elected – they will ALL be asked to sign a special contract with the people.   In that contract they pledge to do what they are being elected to do, once they are in office – AND that – IF they fail or refuse to do what they pledged in the contract they will either pay a fine of $10,000, OR, serve 1 year in prison, as well as being RECALLED from their elected office.  This is to guarantee that candidates we trusted and elected to do specific things to serve our interestsdon’t betray us.  We understand that it is NOT beyond the possibility that “our candidates” might sell us out (with bribes from “the ruling elite”), or do as they please in office to serve their own personal interests. 

8. Phased Election of Only “Pro Prov.” Candidates:  The P T Party can offer “Pro Prov.” candidates for ALL of the seats in the House of Representatives, but the election of candidates for the Senate will have to proceed in phases – due to Article I (1) in the Constitution, Section 3, item 2.  That will prevent us from gaining total and immediate control over the Senate, yet, we will still be able to accomplish a lot with total and immediate control over the House and partial control over the Senate. Eventually, we will control the whole Congress and proceed according to plan.
