          THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER OF OUR FIRST ISSUE.
          
          WE HAVE GIVEN YOU THE VERY BEST we can to kick things
          off!  In future issues we will have money saving,
          tax-saving ideas for you and the latest ideas from
          our readers on how to best achieve these goals.
           Perhaps your thoughts and dreams will be among
           them.
          
           It's just the first issue and the ideas here are
           mainly our own, with a few borrowed from the greats
           like Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George
           Washington, John Adams and many more.
          
           We want you to REMEMBER, that this is a new kind
           of electronic publication which shall have its final
           form from the input of our subscribers and readers.
           When you send us your subscription form with a token
           donation of $10.00, which makes you a subscriber, you
           will get back a savings on your Long Distance Phone
           Bill, but you will also get something far more precious
           than money.  You will get the knowledge that you have
           done something for your country that may last another
           thousand years.  Hundreds of generations of Americans
           will remember this generation and how we all came
           together in this revolutionary new way, utilizing the
           wondrous new technology of the personal computer to
           compile the wisdom of millions of people into one
           harmonious and single-minded thought.
          
           THAT WE CAN RE-INVENT OUR GOVERNMENT AT ANY TIME,
           AND WE CAN DO IT PEACEFULLY, GRACEFULLY AND WITH LITTLE
           OR NO DISCORD.
          
           For who amongst us will stand up and say that they DO
           NOT BELIEVE in more democracy?  Only the foolhardy,
           the wicked and the stale will be able to screw up such
           bold hot air!  Only the senile, the crooked and the
           twisted will be able to stand there and say with any
           sincerity that the majority of Americans lack the
           wisdom to rule themselves.  Yet, there will be those
           who try to deceive us with their twisted logic, stale
           metaphors and crooked tales.
          
          Don't be misled by these sycophants and demagogues,
          these lap-dogs of the Established Order!  Remember
          always that they had their chance and they blew it.
           No matter what evil they predict will befall you,
           there is no evil worse than what they have already
           done to us.  Oh, yes there is.  If given any more
           time, they will have us all in chains, working as
           indentured servants to pay off THEIR DEBTS!
          
           And it is THEIR DEBTS, not ours that overhang our
           economy weighing us down like a huge burden strains
           the poor donkeys in the third world.  We are the
           donkeys of this world, if we continue to obey their
           rules.  For it is our Present Republican form of
           government that gave us Watergate, VietNam, and
           Reagan-omics, and Bushonomics and now Clintonomics.
           It is their shopping sprees we are now asked to pay
           for.
          
           Not a single one of us ever voted for any of
           their crazy spending schemes!  Not a single American
           voter, voted for things like sending troops to
           Somalia, sending money & troops to Nicaragua,
           sending money & weapons Egypt and hundreds of other
           half-crazed, half-starved places.  None of us voted
           to allow the dictators to open up Swiss Bank Accounts
           with our money, yet somehow all these things happen
           and they will continue without your putting your
           collective feet down.  Several dozen countries now
           possess thousands of atomic bombs they can use in
           New York city or Dallas or L.A. or Chicago or Atlanta
           any time they want.  And it was American taxpayer's
           dollars that built these weapon stockpiles around
           the world.  They don't tell you that in the Establishment
           media, because they don't want you to know how your
           government is run.  But we do, and we will continue
           to give you the TRUTH!
          
           AND THE TRUTH IS, we don't stand a chance to survive
           without your help and support.  Your government will
           shut us down and silence this voice forever without
           the aid and support of our fellow Americans.  We are
           the only voice of Real Democracy out there.  We are
           making a small cry, heard only in the dry desert wind.
           We need to add your voice, and then more voices until
           we are so loud, everyone will hear us regardless of
           the weather or any other noise around them. And it
           must begin with you!
          
           When you subscribe to this new and totally unique
           electronic experience, you will be signing on to the
           biggest experiment in Real Democracy since this
           country was founded.  With your support, we can build
           a National Initiative & Referendum Process that will
           stand for a thousand years.  Capable of solving any
           crisis, able to offer solutions that political minds
           would never dream of, capable of representing the will
           of the majority in such a clean, incorruptible way,
           able to use the technology of instantaneous communications,
          using the most modern technology, this method of voting
          for issues by placing them on the  NATIONAL BALLOT,
          is an IDEA WHO'S TIME HAS COME!
          
          We all complain about the lack of choice in our elections.
          
          
          Every four years we hear the same sad lament about no
          ONE INDIVIDUAL on the ballot who we can truly trust.
          This last election is a prime example.  In the most
          interesting and exciting new kind of race for the
          Presidency in decades, we still were offered the choice
          between a crazy, paranoid, billionaire who kept saying
           he'd never stop representing us and then quitting, and
           a guy who lied like hell about his military service and
           his affairs with women, and another ho-hum kind of
           President who "just didn't get it".
          
           All elections are like this.  That is, all elections
           in the PAST.  IN THE FUTURE, THE VERY NEAR FUTURE, GOD
           WILLING, we might see, besides these very gifted
           salesmen, issues placed on the ballot for us to solve
           them by voting on various plans submitted by ordinary
           people, not by lawyers.  First, we should see plans
           to fix our dilapidated and wasteful and demeaning
           Welfare system.  We will also find all kinds of Income
           Tax Reform ON THE BALLOT.  We will also find ways to
           stimulate the economy.  In Washington, they just talk
           things like this for decades.  Then, long after the
           problem has gone away, painfully, they go ahead and
           solve it.  Then, they take credit for doing something
           the economy has already done on its own, with the aid
           and suffering and hard work of millions of us.
          
           Well, we are saying, why not work real hard, one more
           time, in a kind of fun, experimental, exciting new
           way.  Let's work to get the ability to have National
           Democracy     once and for all in this country.  Then,
           let's sit back and enjoy the fruit of our labor as
           we gradually shape this nation into something we all
           can live with.
          
           Finally, I want to leave you with something Bobby
           Kennedy once said.  He probably didn't write it, but
           he said it and it has always stuck in my mind ever
           since the day I heard him say it.
          
           He said, "Some people merely sit and wonder why, I
           wonder why not."  You see, Reality depends on how
           you look at it.  Some people will say that America
           is finished, moribund, decaying, dying.  These people
           will not want to help us change things.  But others,
           and hopefully you are among them, will see these times
           as times of great challenge and a call for new thinking,
           a time for using all our wonderful new technology for
           improving and re-building.  This must be why even
           President Clinton has caught the spirit of the land
           and called for us to "RE-INVENT THE GOVERNMENT".
          
           Well, my dear reader, you couldn't have a more clear
           invitation to make some BIG CHANGES.  MAKE THEM WITH
           US, PLEASE.  No other organization is willing to give
           you as much Freedom as we do because we alone have
           FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE.  Most
           of us are good and kind to animals and we put our
           pants on one leg at a time.  Most of us have to bills
           to pay.  Most of us try to raise our children with
           consideration for others, with a love of their country,
           with a love of their planet, with a respect for the
           law, with a kind and gentle nature, with a willingness
           to learn, to be open, to watch out for danger, to be
           wary of strangers, to eat healthy, nutritious foods.
          
           We have far more in common than we have differences.
           This is the foundation of Real Democracy, is it not?
           Democracy can only work in a place such as this, does
           that not make perfect sense?  Only a nation as great
           as this could find the will, the purpose in experimenting
           with such high ideals, don't you think?   Only a nation
           such as this was meant to last for a thousand years,
           don't you agree?  Only a people such as we are would
           have the courage, the willingness to stand up and be
           counted, to put a little of our comfort on the line,
           don't you feel it?  Only a nation called America,
           composed of a people called Americans would have the
           heart and the desire, the will and the tenacity, the
           muscle, the grit and the guts to stand up to any
          bully who dared to hold us down, hold us back or
          keep us under his thumb!
          
          It's time that every one of us took up the torch and
          held it high.  We are losing our freedoms one by one.
          Our government sits idly by as our country loses more
          and more respect around the world.  Our government
          is so stressed and strained and tearing at the seams
          that criminals over-run our streets.  Few of us feel
          comfortable to walk alone in most of our cities.  The
          war on drugs drags on and there are no solutions
          except for heavy-handed police tactics.  The economy
          crawls along and there are no solutions offered us
          except to raise taxes.  The health care of millions
          of people is in jeopardy and there are no solutions
          except to raise our taxes.  Our military power is
          being stripped and starved and moth-balled and there
          are no solutions offered except to put 'gays' in
          the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines.
          
          There are always going to be problems, but we need
          a method of solving them that comes from the people,
          not at them, as Ross Perot is fond of saying.  But the
          only way to do that, is not to simply exchange bodies
          in Congress.  The only way to have real solutions that
          COME FROM THE PEOPLE IS TO GIVE THE PEOPLE A WAY TO
          BE HEARD.
          
          This is all we are demanding.  This is all we want.
          We don't stand for or against any particular issue,
          we want only for the MAJORITY TO DECIDE THEM ALL.  We
          can live with the fact that at times, we will not
          agree with the majority, but the majority of times
          we probably will.  It is far better to live in a
          nation where we agree with our government most of
          the time than to live in one where we disagree with
          what they do most of the time!  And the latter is
          what we have today.  YOU CALL THIS A DEMOCRACY?
          
          There is no DEMOCRACY until you give the people the
          chance to place new ideas on the ballot and then
          LET THE MAJORITY DECIDE THE ISSUE.
          
          In this first Issue, we have given you just a small
          glimpse into the power of this idea.  We have also
          given you a hint of what's to come.  In our future
          issues, once a month, we will be showing you how
          to finance this great change.  Because President
          Clinton has given us the ability to join him and
          the only way to truly RE-INVENT A NEW GOVERNMENT,
          as he wants us to, is to WITHHOLD INVESTMENT IN THE
          OLD ONE, SO THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING TO INVEST IN THE
          NEW ONE.
          
          In our very next issue, we're going to show you how
          to that as an individual taxpayer.  There are
          legal ways and moral justification aplenty for not
          paying your Income Tax to a corrupt and defunct
          government so that a new one may arise quicker and
          then, and only then, will you have true representation
          as a taxpayer.  When, and only when, you and I get
          to vote on the spending plans of our government do we
          truly have a democracy and the moral obligation to
          pay our fair share.  When people who take bribes,
          intentionally write bad checks and otherwise defraud
          the American people each and every day are the ONLY
          ONES TELLING US TO PAY OUR FAIR SHARE, WE HAVE THE
          MORAL RESPONSIBILITY TO REFUSE!
          
          The IRS did a survey recently and an independent research
          group told them that there were at least 10 MILLION American
          taxpayers who had simply refused to send in any more tax
          returns.  If this is true, then they have no right to ask
          the rest
          of us to send in our tax returns year after year.  And they
          certainly have no right to raise our income taxes as they
          just
          did, until we can all be assured that everyone in America is
          doing the same.  If you are taxing only the ones who are
          crazy enough or afraid enough to continue to send in a tax
          return, then you have an invalid set of assumptions if you
          assume that Income tax is fair, equitable and just.  By the
          mere admission that there are 10 Millions people who are
          supposed to file, but don't, you are admitting that your
          tax system is unjust, unfair, and descriminates against
          those
          of us who are left to carry the burden.
          
          It is our humble opinion that until they can assure us of
          the inability or anyone to get away with not filing, then
          the rest of us filing is an extra-legal thing.  It's illegal
          for
          the rest of us to drop out too.  It's not legal, but if
          there
          are 10 Million who don't, then the system is so far
          corrupted
          that it's crazy for the rest of us to file!  Pretty soon
          there
          might be a couple hundred people filing their tax returns
          each with a FINAL PAYMENT OF 100 BILLION DOLLARS
          TO PAY FOR THE GOVERNMENT.  This isn't fair.  Neither
          is our present system, where 10 Million people go scott
          free and the rest of us have our taxes raised to make up
          the difference.
          
           No, this Income Tax thing was a bad idea to begin with!
          No one wanted it in this country.  The Congress voted
          it into existence over the uproar of all their constituents
          because they knew it would be a great way for them to rob
          us blind, and that has proven to be true!  Prior to 1933,
          there was no Income Tax, no IRS.  But Congress saw a way
          to enrich themselves and have lots of money left over for
          plenty of wasteful government programs.   Millions of people
          sent their congressmen letters begging, pleading with them
          not to pass an Income Tax legislation  Almost no one wrote
          them asking them to go ahead and take money out of their
          pay, as you might expect.   But they went right ahead
          and did it anyway.   This in a democracy?
          
          Well, since they got away with this criminal affair, they
          realized that they could probably get away with anything
          and they've been trying ever since to re-invent new ways
          to RIP OFF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
          
          Oh, sure, every once in a while they throw us dogs a bone.
          But, by and large, legislation from Washington DC is so
          badly written that any school child could tell you how it
          wouldn't work, would be too costly or ineffective.  And
          that's all we have gotten out of our government in the last
          several decades.  We all know it now, and so millions of us
          don't even bother to help pay for the craziness coming
          from our nation's capital.  AND IT'S A NATIONAL
          DISGRACE.
          
          NO WONDER THEY WANT TO RE-INVENT THE
          GOVERNMENT.  It's way past time!  We're going to help
          them.  Each and every one of us will participate we hope.
