I disagree with the above. Special electors where chosen by
ballot to vote on ratification. This made them the peoples
representative not the state legislatures. The people remained
the ultimate sovereigns here. We have through ignorance surrendered
too much power to government at all levels but the avenue to
reclaim it still lies open due to the nature of the way the
Constitution for the united States was ratified. IMO

I couldn't argree more, however, I think the most important issues today are:
The most important issues in the country today are:
#1 ISSUE. House bill sponsored by Rep.Paul (Tx): # HR 1148 IH. It
has to do with termination of the unconstitutional and privately owned
and operated: "Federal?" Reserve System. see:
[ http://www.cal-neva.com/frb/page01.htm ]....
Passsage would:
a: Eliminate our National debt: $5,584,273,630,778.72
($20,500.89 per citizen!)In spite of the current budget "surplus", the
debt has increased an average of $206 million $ per day since May
29, 1998! Please see: [ http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ ]
Secondarily, all needed government funding could easily be
derived from US Treasury banking operations. There is
absolutely no reason for us to pay private individuals (mostly
foreigners) to operate our banking systems.

#2 Issue is National Retail Sales Tax. Current NRST bill is H.R. 1467
IH. Sponsored by 18 Housemembers including Billy Tauzin: "National
Retail Sales Tax of 1999
[ http://www.house.gov/traficant/apr1599.html ]
a: Federal taxation and associated recordkeeping of businesses
and individuals will no longer be required. (For taxpaying
reasons, anyway).
b: The Nat'l debt: $5,584,273,630,778.72 will be nearly
eliminated: The estimated population of the United States is
272,391,799 so each citizen's share of this debt is $20,500.89.
Despite the current budget surplus, the debt has increased an
average of $206 mil.$ per day since May 29, 1998![

c: Campaign finance reform will result since taxing favoritism
will be impossible!
d. The US tax base will nearly triple, since:
1.ALL products sold in the US will pay equal taxes
whether manufactured or grown inside this country or
not.....
2. Foreign visitors, students, truckers, illegals and
everyone who buys anything inside the US or territories will
pay equally. Currently all these persons
pay nothing!
e. Record keeping: depreciation schedules, production
costs and related currently "required by the IRS" records for
individuals and "non retail" businesses will terminate.
f. Federal inheritance records and taxes will cease to
exist. and many other benefits.
I look forward to finding activist groups whom I can support
