Pledge of Renewal

Restore Constitutional Checks and Balances by (continued): Prohibiting Congress from circumventing inconvenient dissent through the manipulation of parliamentary procedures.

---

Requiring Congressional legislators to enumerate, within the body of their legislation, where in the Constitution they find authority and justification for proposing said legislation. Providing mechanisms for a minority of not less than thirty-three percent of Congress, or a simple majority of States’ Governors, to challenge the Constitutionality of any proposed legislation and request an assessment from the US Supreme Court. Repealing and/or sun-setting all laws that are un-Constitutional. Condemning arrest and indefinite detention based on suspicion as un-Constitutional. Setting strict ethics requirements and finance limitations for lobbying and fund raising. Prohibiting Federal agencies from issuing defacto laws via mandates that circumvent proper legislative procedures and citizen participation. For the support of this pledge, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. A member of the largest non-violent political movement in the history of the United States of America.
