“I am con­vinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world rev­o­lu­tion, we as a na­tion must un­dergo a rad­i­cal rev­o­lu­tion of val­ues.” Dr. Mar­tin Luther King, Jr. 1967

One. Human rights must be taken ab­solutely se­ri­ously. Every sin­gle per­son is en­ti­tled to dig­nity and human rights. No ap­pli­ca­tion needed. No ex­clu­sions at all. This is our high­est pri­or­ity.

Two. We must rad­i­cally rein­vent con­tem­po­rary democ­racy. Cur­rent sys­tems are deeply cor­rupt and not re­spon­sive to the needs of peo­ple. Rep­re­sen­ta­tives cho­sen by money and in­flu­ence gov­ern by money and in­flu­ence. This is un­ac­cept­able. Di­rect democ­racy by the peo­ple is now tech­no­log­i­cally pos­si­ble and should be the rule. Com­mu­ni­ties must be pro­tected when­ever they ad­vo­cate for self-de­ter­mi­na­tion, self-de­vel­op­ment and human rights. Dis­sent is es­sen­tial to democ­racy; we pledge to help it flour­ish.

Three. Cor­po­ra­tions are not peo­ple and are not en­ti­tled to human rights. Amend the US Con­sti­tu­tion so it is clear cor­po­ra­tions do not have con­sti­tu­tional or human rights. We the peo­ple must cut them down to size and so democ­racy can reg­u­late their size, scope and ac­tions.

[PETRUS]

1. Amen

2. History moves forward, not back.

We live in a period of very rapid change.
