This draft edition, (A) – (Y) is now replaced by a new edition in 4 parts for easy reading, published 31 December 2011. Each part will be given the unusual name of an Arsenal. Because each assembles weapons of argument.

THE PEOPLE’S DECLARATION

A draft for public consultation

THE ELECTORS CHARTER exposes the cause of the decay of Representative Democracy. It re-establishes our inherent rights. We are sovereign over governments, not vice-versa. It introduces Parallel (or Super-)Democracy as an inventive back-up system, giving citizens massive extra leverage.

THIS DECLARATION associates Electors world-wide against misgovernment and abuses of power of every sort.

WE, THE CITIZENS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF DEMOCRACY, hereby re-assert our inalienable, sovereign power, which is ours in stewardship, and not by Government gift of rights at any time, whether from elected or from unelected persons.

This same power, our forefathers lent, in part, to various leaders and governments, in the form of authority, goodwill, resources, and skills, for clear and agreed purposes. Over time, their borrowed authority and key resources were kept. Their ownership rights faded, and were long ignored.* Today, that sovereignty, now ours, is claimed by nation-states and lusted by all political Unions.

Our inherent authority was attested by our fathers, in blood and by their faith, in many struggles. It is enshrined in the Vote itself. We reclaim all regulating power that is undeniably ours, not forcibly, as was taken, nor arrogantly, as has been held, but with passion, conviction, and vision, resolving to use this power with sound judgment and all due respect. Never to lose it again!

Parallel Democracy opens our title deeds, confirming our authority over public business. By it, we shall straighten our bent Representative Democracy till it runs parallel to our wisest thinking, our finest desires, and our profoundest needs. We shall shape our world for which we are responsible, not be driven by ambitious governments or businesses for short-term gain into long-term disaster.

Thus, we give notice to all parliaments, assemblies and senates; to all officials, politicians, advisers, lawyers, lobbyists, and to all who touch our democratic system at any point, and to all businesses and organizations serving us, that a new political age begins. That: we Citizens are the Owners, Funders, and Testers of our politics, economy, and society. We shall rule and judge government, whatever lawyers’ words are woven to confuse or lessen the fact.** We shall examine their books, because they are indeed ours. We shall monitor and lift all standards within our domain of duty and responsibility.

This day,……………………… in full support of law***, we declare ourselves free of rotten representation and imposed powers that refuse to honour the sovereignty of the People in accordance with this Charter. We call Parallel Democracy into being to re-establish, entrench and exercise our supremacy.

We ally ourselves with all who pursue truth, liberty and wisdom, as citizens of this planet. Fearing none. Doing what we know is exemplary.

* In some countries, people were crushed by wars about supremacy, succession, territory or by penal taxes. Some became serfs, tenants on their own land, for generations. Original freedom, fairness, and self-rule became lost memories. But sovereignty continued to belong to each suppressed individual. It belongs to each capable and aware person today, in or outside a democratic system.

** It is the trick of drafting lawyers to reduce sovereignty over time, via thousands of unrelated cuts, in regulation and law, to give the State or others possession of our money, property and future, and to put increasing obligations from the State upon each individual. Elected politicians legalize these impositions without asking us. Who permits the State to exist? Who re-assesses it? Parallel Democracy restores supremacy to the People, enabling them to shackle the dangerous pretensions of, and slim the size of, their Nation-State, which in the passage of time is temporary.

*** Obeying the law is vital to democracy and society. However, democratically-illegal-law over decades is another thing entirely. Sound judgment is required. Let all obey The Great Law! “Do unto others as ye would have them do unto you.” That is, in conscience, wholeheartedly, not cynically. When Members of Parliament or corporations rob the People of sovereign control, the People use Parallel and Super- means to re-balance Parliament.
