Congress: An Intentional Giant Mess from the Start. Top Story - November 2022.
» KEY POINTS The House of Representatives is supposed to be the “Legislature of the People” and the Senate the “Legislature of the Land”. Neither are doing the job as intended. How did we get to this point and why is there no cure? No adjustment to legislative rules is going to fix a fundamentally broken system. We must Constitutionally overhaul how the Legislative Branch is set up in its entirety.

The Dreadful Compromises that Created America
» KEY POINTS The process of creating the Constitution was so flawed and rushed that only 39 of the original 74 delegates actually signed off on it. Repercussions—both predicted and unexpected—have been rippling down through time because imperfect men made compromises just to get State legislatures to give in. In order to correct these issues and reaffirm the values supposed in the Constitution and purported by Americans, we must approve a massive amount of new Amendments.
