another modest proposal

Seriously, let's just get it over with. I'm sick of the waiting.
Copy this, and mail it to your "representatives" in Congress:


United States Congress

Committee: Principle
Author: Daveawayfromhome
Bill No:
Delegation:

Title of Bill:
Declaration of Empire Act

Be it enacted by the United States Congress:

Preamble: Whereas the President of the United States, George Walker Bush, has arrogated upon himself powers previously held by the Congress, i.e., "Decider" and maker of laws, and has since shown an obvious contempt and scorn for Congress, and as that Congress has, rather than censure or otherwise fullfill their duty to check the power of the Executive branch, instead continued to issue laws which fully comply with the wishes of the President, whether they be constitutional or not, and since the President has said himself that "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator", and since the President, Congress, and even the Supreme Court have all shown themselves to be uninterested in the will of the Sovereign people of the United States of America and their Constitution,

Section 1: Let the President, George Walker Bush, be crowned Emperor, and the Congress of the United States of America be disolved. Henceforth, all laws will be made by Emperor Bush and his staff. The Constitution, a valuable document, will be treated with due respect, and safely locked away in a deep, sealed vault, where it will remain safe*.

Section 2: Let the Emperor make whatever laws he feels are necessary, needful, required, and appropriate for the benefit of his "base", and anyone else he feels like.

Section 3: All elements of the current Constitution and Bill of Rights shall remain in effect, except those that the Emperor decides are unnecessary for the purposes of Security.

Section 4: Let the Emperor henceforth be known to the Military as "The Supreme Commander". No military decisions will be questioned; those who do so will be charged with treason and summarily shot. As he will no longer be subject to the whims of politics, the Supreme Commander will declare "political influence" in the military to be an executable offense.

Section 5: "Campaign contributions" formerly distributed amongst members of Congress by lobbists will now be given directly to the White House. These monies will, as with the former Congress, in no way influence any laws or decrees which are made by the Emperor (wink, wink).

Section 6: Corporations will now be considered "Super Citizens", and have special rights and privileges, to whit:
     Sub-Section A: the power of Eminent Domain
     Sub-Section B: the power to disolve trade unions
     Sub-Section C: the power to compell workers
     Sub-Section D: shall pay no taxes of any kind
     Sub-Section E: shall not be held liable for any actions

Section 7: This bill shall go into effect some time before November 6th, 2008. In October, perhaps.
