In addition to the Revolutionary War against England and a monarchy, there was much hand-wringing and debate about how our new nation would be organized in the early days of its founding. There were two basic factions: conservative (loyal to the King) and progressive (wanting to break away from tyranny and establish a democracy).

More and more, I'm thinking we need a new constitutional convention to lead us out of the morass we find ourselves in. A gathering of representatives for all fifty states. Not the elected representatives, who are already contaminated with the bitterness and divisiveness of politics and billions of dollars in contributions that have poisoned our system. I don't see how that could possibly be any different from the pissing contest we have in DC today. This has to be an independent group of people. Constitutional scholars, legal scholars, and ordinary Americans from all walks of life.

It is time for our leaders to come together in a new political party dedicated to excising the cancer of an autocratic tyranny from our democratic and Constitutional form of government. This tyranny has been growing like an invasive weed for at least forty-five years.
