Agreement among We, the People (published January 1, 2015) is about We the People of the United States of
America, Our Agreement and Our mutual Pledge. In other words, this book is
about what it means to be a “true American.” The overall message of Our
Agreement is “One for All, All for One”. Simply stated, this means that each individual
member of We, the People has agreed to act for the benefit of all members of
We, the People, and all Citizens have agreed to act for the benefit of each
individual Citizen.
This
is particularly true in the context of Our agreement that “all men are created
equal”. Since Our founding, We have been dedicated to the preservation of
equality for each new generation. Thus, Our governments’ reason for being is to
secure the fulfillment of all human rights for all Citizens. Moreover, all of Our
individual and collective lives, fortunes and sacred honor are pledged in
support of Our agreements.
This
may come as a surprise to many but it should not. Throughout history pharaohs,
kings, queens, chiefs, and similar monarchs understood that each possessed
control over their kingdom’s collective lives, fortunes and sacred honor in exchange
for their ultimate authority based upon this understanding – “One for All, All
for One”. Perhaps these words are more easily appreciated: the sovereign
monarch serves and protects the people and the people serve and protect the
sovereign monarch.
In
1776 Our founders realized that the source of all authority and power
ultimately derived from the consent of people who consented to being governed
in exchange for becoming part of a society. Consequently, the sovereign of the
United States of America is We, the People, as one, united sovereign. From that
moment forward, We became a beacon of light for life, liberty, the pursuit of
happiness and all other human rights for all men and women around the world. As
the sovereign of the United States, each member and all members of We, the
People have agreed to serve and protect each member and all members of We, the
People. In other words, “One for All, All for One”.
Unfortunately,
recent research by scholars such as Thomas Piketty, Martin Gilens, BenjaminPage, Dan Ariely, and Michael Norton, and even global corporations such as
Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. reports to the general public that things have
gone terribly wrong. They report that We are in breach of Our own Agreement.
America
remains an economic, military and political giant. But when one looks below the
aggregate numbers and other manifestations of power, the reality is very
disturbing. For example, who are the primary beneficiaries of the hard work of
the vast number of Americans who have contributed to these successes between
1776 and today? How have American resources been distributed? Are Our
governments fulfilling their respective reason for existence to secure the
fulfillment of all human rights for all Citizens? Are We Citizens fulfilling Our
Agreement with one another?
As
noted, things have gone terribly wrong! Today, America functions as “All for
the 1%, and the 1% for the 1%”. This is the terrifying reality being reported
by American and foreign scholars.
If
you are familiar with the works of Piketty, Gilens, Page, Ariely, Norton,
Citigroup and others, then you already know that America is facing many very
serious challenges. Agreement among We,
the People endeavors to ask and answer basic questions regarding Our
challenges. While this may represent a good start, participation by other Citizens
is essential to developing effective solutions.
Agreement among We, the People sets forth specific challenges and suggestions regarding how
We might fulfill Our Agreement. It initiates the “true American” challenge: “May all true Americans come to know,
understand, appreciate and fulfill our Agreement among We, the People”.
1st – Take the Challenge – Become a “true
American”. Help create a better America for all Americans, the America to which
We have already agreed.
2nd – What You can do as a “true American”
You are encouraged to take action in Our efforts to
identify, select and reward only leaders who are “true Americans”, as explained
in Agreement among We, the People
under Challenge: Wanted: “true American”
Leaders. This is of great importance
and each of you is encouraged to so act.
There
is more you can do.
After
you come to know, understand, appreciate and fulfill Our Agreement as “true
Americans” and as your exercise of government of, by and for the people, please
send your description of the challenges faced by Us together with your
suggestions on how best to address them as “true Americans.”
The
publisher will attempt to organize and publish that which “true Americans” believe
best for the sovereign People of America.
To
assist in the formulation of your suggestions on how best to address Our
challenges, here is a list of some topics.
Feel free to address one or more of these, or create your own
topic. Remember, the goal is to identify
and resolve challenges as “true Americans” in a manner consistent with our
Agreement among We the People of the United States of America.

Please
do not send proposed resolutions of challenges faced by other countries. Send such descriptions and proposed
resolutions to the United Nations.
We
must first face and resolve Our own challenges and then turn Our attention and
resources toward helping other countries.
