it’s got a strong framework that shifts from abstract freedoms to concrete rights like healthcare, housing, and environmental protection—basically saying “rights should actually feel like rights.” The part about digital privacy rights is refreshingly modern. It also ties democracy to real structural reforms, not just lofty ideals politicians can blow off.
But what’s missing is how any of this would actually be enforced—who guarantees these rights, and who gets in trouble when they’re violated. Some provisions, like abolishing billionaire wealth, read more like a mission statement than something a court could actually enforce.
Thank you Mary for re-posting this! Great food for thought and action!!! Let's do this...am going to forward your draft to everyone I know. Thanks, Petra
This is an excellent start. Article VII should include a requirement that elections are no longer allowed to be privately funded. Public funding only. Eliminate the bribery that results from the wealthy being able to “buy” candidates and influence legislation that benefits them to the detriment of “We the People”.
So glad you reposted this. There needs to come a time that we all need to rethink so much and need to either shut up or put up with all this crap from this regime and the illegality coming from Congress and DC.
We are the people that move this nation and seem to have little representation from those elected officials now on a two week vacation while so many are working for free like TSA Agents. Imagine over a six month time frame being totally unsure you’re going to get paid for the long days of work. Because that’s the reality as Congress still gets paid even on their long vacations.. and do not govern one bit or listen to those who placed them in their jobs..
Mary, I’m glad you started this

Overall, though, great job
Also, when all this is over, we need to fix our democracy too:

A good start, but we must also tackle gun rights, and severely restrict in the president’s pardon power!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

I wonder if we can attach your Bill of Rights to the Constitution's?
