               "THE REFOUNDING AMENDMENT"

 --------------------------------------------------------------------

               "THE INITIATIVE" 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

     Section 1.   Declare Commitment To Refound America


        We the People of the sovereign State of______________________     
     agree to refound America in the organic laws of this nation and
     the original intent of the federal Constitution.  When thirty-
     eight States agree to refound America, "The Refounding
     Amendment", as defined in section 4 below, shall be ratified as
     the eleventh amendment to the Constitution of the United States
     of America.

     Section 2.   Affirm That Those Powers Not Delegated Are Reserved
                  To The States And Retained By The People.

        The federal government will immediately cease to unlawful
     usurpation of property, power and authority.  This State affirms
     that all powers not delegated to the federal government by the
     Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to
     the States respectively, or retained by the People.  If the
     Constitution of the United States of America is suspended,
     altered or abolished in any way, this State reserves the right to
     reclaim all delegated powers, secede from the Union and become a
     separate and sovereign republic nation or to join with any other
     States, who have also agreed to refound America, to form a new
     Union upon the original Constitution, the Bill Of Rights and the
     Refounding Amendment


     Section 3.   Reject A Constitutional Convention And Rescind All
                  Previous Calls

        This State shall neither propose nor engage in a
     constitutional convention as set forth in Article V of the
     Constitution of the United States of America.  All calls for a
     constitutional convention previously enacted or currently in
     effect are hereby withdrawn and permanently rescinded.


     Section 4.  The Refounding Amendment


    "The Refounding Amendment"


---------------------------------------------------------------------



Paragraph 1.  Discharging The Federal Government

--------------------------------------------------------------------
     Government is an agent of the people. If government does not
     properly represent the people, they have the right to institute a
     new agent.  Therefore with a single, swift and steady act of
     Citizenship, we shall rid our nation of corrupt federal
     government.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

     Upon ratification of this amendment and whenever this nation
again refounded, the federal government of the United States of
America, now properly and legally renamed the "Federal Agency", shall
be discharged and all of its related agents dissolved.  The sovereign
States neither indemnify nor accept responsibility for the discharged
Federal Agency.  The sovereign States completely disavow all previous
enacted agreements, actions or obligations of the discharged Federal
Agency, and declare them null and void.  The several sovereign States
of America shall institute a new Federal Agency as prescribed in this
Constitution.




Paragraph 2.  Establishing The Foundation And the Public Oath
_____________________________________________________________________

     We will establish the foundation of this country and ensure
     freedom for all Americans.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The name of this great nation is America and as Americans we hold
these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights
among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  That to
secure these rights, the governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.  That
whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it
is the right of the People to alter or abolish it and to institute a
new government.  The Citizens from the State Militias, who compose the
Military of this nation, shall be maintained and remain loyal to this
Constitution.  Those people who have been elected, appointed or
employed to serve the general public my be referred to as public
servants.  All public servants are under solemn oath to preserve,
protect and defend this Constitution and the individual rights
guaranteed to each and every American.  Any public servant who shall
intentionally attempt to subvert this Constitution, circumvent their
solemn oath or violate the public faith shall cease to be an American.



Paragraph 3. Defining Our citizenship
_____________________________________________________________________   

    It is essential for the survival of this nation, for the people to
    know exactly who they are and be able to define there Citizenship.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The People of this nation are Americans. Only People who have been
born of an American or who have been explicitly and legally
naturalized as Americans shall be Americans.  Americans who establish
a domicile in one of the several States shall be Citizens of that
State in which they domicile.  Citizens of the several States may be
referred to as American Citizens, or more simply as Citizens.  In the
constitutional republic, Americans are Citizens by virtue of their
State Citizenship.  Those Americans who have not established a
domicile in one of the several States shall be referred to as American
Nationals.  American Nationals shall become Citizens upon establishing
a domicile in one of the several States.  No State shall restrict an
American from establishing a domicile in that State.  The Federal
Agency shall establish no special class of Americans or federal
citizenship over which it shall have jurisdiction.  Only Americans
shall participate in public service.



Paragraph 4.  Establishing Equality And Justice Under The Law

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    We establish that the purpose of law is to protect not to coerce.
    The force of law must not be used to form society.  It must
    protect liberty and establish justice.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Purpose of the law is to establish justice among the People by
protecting the natural rights of each and every American.  All
Americans are sovereign and equal under the law.  No Federal, State or
Local government shall deny an American equal protection under the
law.  No government shall make or enforce any law which may abridge
the rights, privileges or immunities of an American.  The right of an
American to the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended.  In all
cases of law, both the accused and accuser shall have the unrestricted
right to call for a trial by independent Citizen jury who shall be
randomly chosen and fully informed of their responsibility to be the
final judge of both fact and law.  Each case of law shall be
considered unique and distinct.  Judicial precedent and case law shall
be irrelevant and not apply to any case of law.  No Judicial decision
shall establish law.  Original intent and natural law shall be the
determining basis in all questions of constitutionality.  the right of
the Citizens to vote and the right to have equal opportunity to run
for public office shall not be abridged or denied on account of race,
creed, color, sex, political affiliations, or religion.  The Citizens
shall verify by whatever means necessary every popular election.
Neither involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime
whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, nor slavery shall
exist within the sovereign States or any place subject to the
jurisdiction of the Federal Agency.  No government shall enact,
mandate or attribute special rights, privileges, entitlements or
obligations to any individual, group or special class of Americans.
Only Americans are ensured the full rights, privileges and immunities
guaranteed in this Constitution.



Paragraph 5.  Limiting The Jurisdiction Of The Federal Agency

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The greatest threat to the people of this nation is the government
    itself.  Government must not be allowed to assume powers not
    delegated to it by the Constitution.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

     The sovereignty of the States and the individual liberty of the
People shall be protected by specifically limiting the authority of
the Federal Agency.  The jurisdiction of the Federal Agency shall be
wholly founded on this Constitution and shall be limited to those
powers explicitly delegated to it.  No further powers shall be
implied, assumed or engaged.  The jurisdiction of the Federal Agency
shall be clear and reasonable or it shall not apply.  The jurisdiction
of the Federal Agency explicitly stated in the constitution shall be
exercised narrowly and interpreted strictly.  Any usurpation of
property, powers or jurisdiction by a public servant shall be a
violation of the public faith.



Paragraph 6.  Protecting Property Rights

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The right of the people to have the lawful ability to own and
    possess property is vital for a free society.  When government
    becomes the landlord and the dictator of property, the people are
    not free.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Allodial ownership and full possession of property is fundamental
to individual liberty.  The right of Americans to lawfully acquire,
possess, and own property of any form shall not be restricted,
abridged or denied.  The Federal Agency shall not lien, levy or apply
in any way an assessment, claim or tax to the property of the American
People.  The Federal Agency will neither own nor have title to any
property.  All property administered by the Federal Agency shall be
held in trust for the benefit of the American People.  The Federal
Agency shall not sell, give or transfer property directly or
indirectly to foreign powers, or foreign individuals.  The Federal
Agency shall not leverage or collateralize property in any way.  Upon
the ratification of this amendment and whenever this nation is again
refounded, all claims and title to the real property held within the
several States under the jurisdiction of the Federal Agency not
explicitly authorized by this Constitution shall be conveyed to that
State in which it is held.  All currently defined territories of the
Native American Peoples shall be recognized as separate and sovereign
nations and offered the protection of America.  The People of the
territories within the jurisdiction of the Federal Agency shall hold a
popular election every seven years to approve or reject the
jurisdiction of the Federal Agency.  The Jurisdiction and powers
exercised within the territories by the Federal Agency shall have the
same scope and limits as within the sovereign States if America.



Paragraph 7.   Preserving Sovereignty And Ensuring Honesty

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Ultimately the authority has to be in the hands of the people.
    When you allow the government to assume its own powers, the people
    will lose their sovereignty.  The activities of government must be
    open to the public review.  It is the darkness and secrets of
    government which breeds corruption. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    America is composed of free and sovereign States who have come
together to unite as one nation.  When States join this union, they
accept certain principles of government, agree to uphold this
Constitution and delegate certain specific powers to the Federal
Agency.  To ensure the right to self-government and the sovereignty of
the People, every State and Local government shall have an initiative
process whereby the Citizens shall have the power to enact legislation
directly through a popular election.  The Federal Agency shall neither
suspend nor alter this Constitution.  The Federal Agency shall neither
initiate nor impose emergency jurisdiction upon or within any State.
The Federal Agency shall neither enact nor enforce any law, treaty,
order or agreement which shall in any way supersede or conflict with
this Constitution, exceed those powers explicitly delegated to it or
usurp in any way the powers reserved to the States and the rights
retained by the People.  In any vote of Congress, a majority of the
respective members in each house must be present and vote to have a
quorum.  All activities of the Federal Agency shall be recorded and
all records of the Federal Agency shall be subject to open public
review except certain and specific information which would directly
and immediately jeopardize military operations.



Paragraph 8.  Establishing A Constitutional Monetary System

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Constitutional Monetary System places the power of the currency
solidly in the hands of the American People.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Treasury of America, more simply referred to as the Treasury,
shall serve as the constitutional source for a uniform, stable and
sufficient medium of exchange to be issued as legal tender for all
debts public and private.  The Treasury shall provide funds only to
the Federal Agency, States, local government and American owned
private banks. The Treasury shall charge no interest or service fees
of any kind.  The Treasury shall provide all funds required to pay for
the obligations of the Federal Agency.  The Federal Agency shall
appropriate the required funds from the Treasury and spend those
funds into circulation without debt.  The Federal Agency shall not
borrow or incur debt of any kind.  The revenue collected by the
Federal Agency shall be kept in proper balance with its expenditures.
The treasury shall provide loans without interest to the States and
Local governments for publicly approved projects.  The States and
Local governments shall only borrow from the Treasury, and only when
publicly financed by the Citizens of that State and that local
community.  The Treasure shall provide loans without interest to
private banks which are wholly owned and operated by Americans.  The
Federal Agency shall administer the treasury according to simple,
uniform and flexible regulations.  the Treasury shall not require
collateral for any loans.  Banks shall only borrow from the Treasury.
Banks shall only loan what they have borrowed.  Banks shall only
invest what they own.  Every law abiding American shall have the
unrestricted opportunity to own and operate a competing bank.
Americans who own and operate a bank shall be recognized as public
servants.  The Federal Agency shall not give or loan any funds
directly or indirectly to foreign powers or foreign individuals.  The
Federal Agency shall have the power to appropriate funds from the
Treasure and apportion those funds directly to the American People
without obligation, remuneration required or debt generated.  All
excess funds collected, acquired or appropriated by the Federal Agency
not required to provide for the common defense or to maintain its
other limited functions shall be extinguished or directly returned to
the Treasury.  It is through the administration of these limited and
specific functions of the Treasury that the Federal Agency shall
promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to
each and every American.



Paragraph 9.  Correcting The Sins Of The Past

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is time we take responsibility for the mistakes we have made in
    the past.  Government will no longer provide social entitlements,
    those who currently depend on the past entitlements will be
    protected but the programs will be phased out and privatized.  We
    will free ourselves by addressing the problems directly.  Freedom
    requires both responsibility and action.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Upon ratification of this amendment, all paper currency, bank
deposits and investment credits denominated in Federal Reserve Notes
currently belonging to Americans shall be converted without
restriction into American Dollars issued by the Treasury.  All current
lawful agreements among Americans denominated in Federal Reserve Notes
shall be converted to American Dollars.  All lawful debts previously
created by the Federal Agency  owed directly or indirectly to
Americans shall be guaranteed, converted and redeemed at current value
by the Treasury in American Dollars.  The regulation of current
entitlements previously enacted by the Federal Agency, upon which
certain Americans depend, shall be relegated to the State or District
within which they domicile.  These Entitlements shall be guaranteed
and funded by the Treasury without apportionment and without debt.
Past entitlements shall be continued only as long as required, phased
out through attrition, and privatized as soon as possible.  No past
entitlements shall be maintained or extended beyond a period of seven
years following the ratification of this amendment.



Paragraph 10.  Establishing A National Constitutional Election

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    It has always been the right of the people to control its
    government.  This amendment establishes an effective method to
    exercise this responsibility.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The sovereign Citizens retain the sole power to amend this
constitution, to repeal an amendment, to secede from the Union and to
refound this nation through a constitutional initiative process
regulated by each State.  A constitutional initiative shall be
proposed when 15 percent of the qualified voters of a particular State
agree to put it on their State ballot within two years of its filing.
The filing procedure shall not be restricted.  When three States
approve the same initiative, not including a Seceding Initiative, the
initiative] shall be automatically put on the ballots of all the other
States for their next respective Constitutional Election.  If the
initiative is not approved by the State, it is no longer on the State
ballot and can only be proposed again for that State if the Citizens
of that State themselves put it on the ballot again through the
initiative process.  If the initiative is approved by the State, it
shall remain active for seven years.  If the initiative has remained
active for seven years in the State and it has not yet become ratified
as law then it shall be considered rejected by that State.  
The approved initiative may be rejected by that State before it becomes
law when a Rejecting Initiative is proposed and approved by that state
through the initiative process.  Once a year a "Constitutional
Election" shall be held by each State to approve or reject the
proposed constitutional initiatives by popular vote.  If no
constitutional initiatives are on the ballot for a State then no
Constitutional Election shall be held in that State.  The Citizens
shall ratify a new amendment when three-fourths of the States agree to
approve the proposed Amending Initiative.  the citizens shall repeal
an amendment when three-fourths of the States agree to approve the
proposed Repealing Initiative.  The repealed amendment shall then be
removed and the other amendments shall be renumbered sequentially.
Neither this amendment nor the first ten amendments shall be
repealed.  A state may secede from this nation if three-fourths of the
qualified voters of that State agree to the proposed Seceding
Initiative.  Finally and most importantly, The Citizens shall refound
this nation when two-thirds of the several sovereign States agree to
approve the proposed Refounding Initiative.  Upon the ratification of
this amendment and whenever this nation is again refounded, this
Constitution up through and including the first ten amendments shall
be reinstated as the supreme law of the land, all subsequent
amendments shall be repealed with the exception of this "The
Refounding Amendment" which shall be renamed the eleventh Amendment.

choosing to support the Refounding Amendment are, The Refounders of
this great nation, Citizens dedicated to Americas sovereignty and the
Constitution.  The Refounding Society consists only of the citizens
