If you were to think about it, there are logical reasons to allow the "people" to participate in the decision-making processes of government, for how can it be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people if the people—the masses of ordinary working people—are deliberately excluded from participation in the political decision-making processes of government, including how their hard-earned tax money should be spent.

But there are even better reasons for Americans to make such change; reasons that are morally, ethically, and economically sound.

The first reason is that rich and educated people of all cultures—past and present—have controlled Earth governments and have always been harsh in their discriminations and treatment of poorer citizens. It's time—no, it's long past time—for the masses of people to grow up and solve their own problems by participating in the decision-making processes of self-government without the help of professional politicians or leaders. It really means that it's time for humans to take the next step up the evolutionary ladder and behave as they have been designed to behave.

The wealthy of Earth, have always feared when the masses might insist upon a "popular" government, a bottom-to-top government in which every citizen participates in government and every opinion is equally as important as every other opinion. The rich of planet Earth are well-aware of the way they have treated people of lesser wealth and political influence. Their fears have been that a government dominated by emotionally, ignorant poor people will automatically discriminate against them, stripping them of their wealth, opportunities for increasing wealth, and their life-styles. This is a logical, and probable supposition, but it's not an inevitable one.

For the first one hundred and fifty years, a true history of the United States clearly describes the one-sided class war carried on by rich Americans against working Americans. It's a class-war that was sidetracked during World War II and sneakily restructured at war's and, which today, is once again a one-sided class war of the American rich against American working families. It's why there is such a huge difference between the annual take-home pay of corporate executives and common workers, why so many jobs have left the republic never to return, and why American workers will accept any job to feed their families no matter how poor the pay. It's also why the U.S. republic is bankrupt and deeply in debt to wealthy individuals and countries.

Can you truly believe and intelligent political "representatives" would overspend so massively and stupidly—without the deliberate influence of people deliberately trying to bankrupt the republic's various governments?

For the moment, ignore the truth that the masses of Americans are immature, uncontrollably emotional, ignorant, and timid, if not cowardly. By transforming the American System into a properly structured Direct Democracy, common Americans will have the opportunity to provide their children, and themselves, with an "essential" education: an education that holds the potential to eliminate the illnesses of the republic, such as hunger, poverty, ignorance, and unreasonable timidity. Moreover, it just might also be the one opportunity to safeguard America's future—and humanity's.

A second reason for discarding "representative" democracy for a true participatory democracy is that the fifty U.S. state public school systems have been structured by a wealthy minority to keep children of working Americans ignorant of many truths essential to living in the "real" world and not the world of illusion structured by their advertising and public realtions companies.

The human brain is like a computer: it collects, stores, often categorizes, and delivers information to the human self when called upon. Collecting information that's true and relevant to life is how people learn, how they mature and survive. But a brain that absorbs trivia, misinformation and lies—believing it to be truth—is a brain that keeps a human self ignorant, immature, and easily influenced by bad and illogical advice or leadership. Yet, that's the kind of education the American children of today's working class receives from public schools, movies, and national television.

A third, but crucial reason for discarding pseudo-democracy for a true participatory democracy concerns the concept of "private property." It is illogical and destructive to allow individuals or groups to claim "ownership" of any part of Mother Earth as it is The planet that nurtures all of life. It is the mother of us all and should remain healthy to nourish future generations of Earth life as it has nourished all past generations.

Yet, we allow some people to claim ownership and exclusive rights to the benefits of small portions of Earth, despite abuse and pollution of their property, and the potential danger to present and future generations. Citizens of the fictional American Democracy, described in the two books offered in our webstore have demanded their New Government to take command of all natural resources, pay a fair price to current owners, and nurture these resources so they may also nourish future generations of Americans.

A fourth reason for serious change is that the U.S. Constitution forbids the republic's governments to compete in economic matters. The result is that for more than two hundred years the wealth of the republic has flowed into the pockets of individual citizens and their corporations making it necessary for the "people's" government to tax and scrounge around for money needed for social needs.

The citizens of fictional America, however, reject the concept of the republic's production resources exclusively controlled by "private" corporations and have authorized their New Government to remove from private control all services and products that they (in Open Forum) have deemed essential to their welfare. Americans have, especially, asked that these services and products be removed from corporations that have stole from them and proven themselves to be dishonest. They have also demanded their New Government to establish public financial and banking systems for they know that a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, should control its money and banking systems.

In this way the profits from the rental of American lands and the American financial and banking systems go into the public Treasuries to be used for the needs and wants of the people, and not absorbed by individuals or groups. These changes eliminate New Government's need to borrow funds from outside sources and gives to the people the power to invest public money as they see fit.

Fictional Americans are not against "Free Enterprise." They understand a vibrant economy is essential to the welfare of their republic. But they also realize that the vibrancy of an economy comes from the entrepreneurship of its individual citizens; of individuals and families starting and operating local retail shops or regional manufacturing plants. They believe that transforming the U.S. from a land of millions of small local entrepreneurs into one of a few large corporate conglomerates; from one of enterprising citizens into one of bored corporate employees has not only been unfair to the citizens, but highly destructive to national cohesiveness. They have, therefore, instructed their New Government to break up large corporate conglomerates and to establish programs favorable to small neighborhood entrepreneurs.
