Thanks for sharing. I listened to this one and to the other one you replied directly to me. He has some good ideas but neither of the episodes said how to implement them.
Finishing ratifying the original first amendment, which would follow the same process started by one law student and was completed in 1992, the original second amendment, now the 27th, would result in immediate improvement to decentralization. It’s literally a decentralization amendment that has already been passed by congress and ratified by nine states (I think it’s nine).
Tactical Civics — the group from whom I learned about the original first amendment — has a plan (I might even say strategy), that they are currently implementing, to do this (finish ratifying our original first bill of rights; it was supposed to be 12, not 10) as one of the first steps. I personally don’t think they will succeed because their marketing isn’t great, but there is a theoretically doable plan. I’ve posted some summaries on my feed.
What is the clear plan to implement from your dude? I liked a lot of what he said, but it isn’t enough to have a simple, elegant solution without a strategy. How? Grand Juries? Complaints at the county level? Lobby state reps and senators? How to secede? There are counties in OR seceding to ID apparently. To where do we apply pressure and how?
In any case, these ideas and discussions are important for education/awareness.
