Description of People's Parallel Congress:
The Peoples Parallel Congress would have...
No Lobbyists
No Corporate or Business representation
No decision making based on Money
No Elite influence or involvement from the 0.0000….0001%
No influence from Wall Street, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Telecommunications ...
Non-partisan, any party afiliation can be involved - Everyone Can Vote, include Elit
Elected or Appointed Representatives must step down from Elite influenced Jobs, and be automatically recused from any decision that is a conflict of interest with their personal job or income.
Why go to all the Trouble to create such a body that has no constitutional or governmental power?
There are two simple and very important reasons to do this.
First of all, our current Congress has about a 10-15% approval rating, is gridlocked, and most importantly is 100% influenced, and corrupted by BIG money and after todays Supreme court Decision, it will be even more so for as long as we can conceive. Even Obama bends over backwards for Wall street. So I challenge you in asking what the MOST important purpose of Congress is? I say communication between the people's representatives on behalf of the people to help normal people communicate on important issues across the country (and / or the world). The primary purpose is Not decision making, not bills, not laws. It's Communication! Without communication between people, it is impossible to make decisions, bills or laws. Yet Congress is currently more effective in creating communication between Lobbyists and Corporations into hearings and secret meetings, than it is in creating communication between actual everyday people. In other words, currently in this country, and in much of the world, we no longer have a basic communication system between people because of government systems have been so co-opted, and corrupted, that they now primarily only serve communications for the purpose of BIG money, Lobbyists, and Corporations in the decision making and law making processes of our government institutions. By creating a People's Parallel Congress we can minimally restore basic communications between people, without influence and corruption from BIG money and corporate lobbyists. Its really just that simple, if we can't even communicate freely as people, how can we even begin to move a people's agenda forward? Additionally this process can give us very valuable data on our communications. For example, if the People's Parallel Congress voted on all matters that the US Government voted on, we could see the difference in voting patterns between elected official influenced by big money, and representatives that only represent people. This is just basic communications
data and without that we really have no idea what people's needs and interests really are when our government institutions are so overwhelmed by corporate interests and lobbyists.
