          THE NATIONAL TAX REVOLT  -  CHAPTER FOUR
          
          President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore want to hear
          from you!  

          The White House has recently published their E-mail 
          address.  It's available to everyone with access to a
          computer and they want to hear from all of us.  Let 
          them know that you are reading our material.  Let 
          them know that you support us and that you will continue
          to support us until most of the ideas herein are adopted
          by the government.  If only a few thousand of you do 
          this, the time will soon come when we will have our
          country back.

          CONTACT PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON AT E-MAIL ADDRESS:

          'PRESIDENT@WHITEHOUSE.GOV'

          Send our Petition to the White House as well.  They 
          should also see what's coming up in Congress.  Help
          them 'Re-Invent the Government!'

          This book is an attempt to get you to help them.  They
          know they can't do it alone.  So, they have expressly 
          made an issue out of RE-INVENTING OUR GOVERNMENT THAT
          WE MUST ALL PARTICIPATE IN, OTHERWISE, IT WILL JUST END
          UP BEING ANOTHER POLITICAL SONG AND DANCE!
          
          We set up this organization to ensure that there are more
          and more things that the American people can do to 
          participate in their own government because, in the 
          final analysis Democracy does not work without the active                     participation of the ordinary people.  

          It's all about being 'Of the People, For the People 
          and By the People.' Remember that from High School?
          So, get with the program, People!
          
          Help out the President and the Veep.  Participate in this
          program by becoming a subscriber.  Print out the 
          Long Distance Form and sign up with our Long Distance 
          Service because this will give us your continued and 
          continuing support without your having to go to your 
          checkbook.
          
          WE ALSO WANT YOU TO SEND UP YOUR IDEAS.  When
          you send in your subscription forms, send us in your
          thoughts on the subject of how we can all get more 
          participation from the voter.  In fact, this will be 
          the focus of our next issue.  So, we want all the
          reader feedback we can get.  We are especially 
          interested as is Vice President Gore in how to get 
          more democracy out of our computer networks such 
          as the one you used to download this book.  Al Gore, 
          in fact, wants to build us a huge new super National
          Network, but we think that any Network funded by the
          government will not be as useful as one funded by 
          folks like the BBS SYSOP who put this program on 
          his BBS because he's not interested in censoring 
          anything.  But a Government Network, just might
          be.
          
          We need your thoughts on the subject.  Perhaps a huge
          National Network run by a separate legal entity, 
          but Private, like the way they manage the National 
          Parks or the National Highways, giving states more 
          responsibility than anyone else.  Perhaps a private
          company with a mandate to never have any censorship 
          or they are immediately replaced with new management.  
          Perhaps it's all automated with no chance of 
          censorship ever.  We don't know.  This is why we 
          need your input.
          
          Whatever the form of the new government.  We do know that
          computers MUST PLAY A BIGGER ROLE.  In many states
          they still count ballots by hand.  Can you imagine such an
          out-dated and crazy thing like this taking place in 
          America?   It's hard to believe. In some states, they 
          are now letting voters register when they license
          their car and the Department of Motor Vehicles.  These
          are often referred to as the 'MOTOR VOTER BILLS'.
          That's great, but why do we have to REGISTER TO VOTE 
          in the first place?  That's not mentioned in the 
          Constitution!  It seems kind of antiquated, too, 
          doesn't it?  Why not let everyone vote who
          can prove they're over the age of 18?  Just bring 
          your ID with you when you go to the polls to vote.
          Simple enough?  Yes, but simple is not something
          our old government likes to live with.  Simple
          things don't allow for more government jobs. (In
          our NEW RE-INVENTED GOVERNMENT we will concentrate
          on keeping things simple, because simple is cheaper!)
          
          But then even POLLING BOOTHS ARE ANTIQUATED, AREN'T
          THEY?  Why not vote over the phone?  Why not vote when
          you're downtown shopping in a public phone booth?  
          Just punch in your social security number so they 
          can make sure you didn't vote twice and have a ballot 
          with you with numbers, and just key in the number
          of the measure you're voting for and a 1 for YES 
          or a 2 for NO.  Same goes for candidates.
          
          The same way they do with PIN numbers at those
          automated tellers at the bank would work too.

          Or why not just do it in the comfort of your own 
          home.  And why is it all done in one day.  Why 
          not allow a week or 10 days for an election so 
          that anyone traveling out of the country can get
          back in time to vote?  Yes, and that way, there's 
          plenty of time to check and throw away anyone's 
          second or third vote.  That's why we tie it to
          a SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER or a PIN number.  It's 
          an easy computer run to pick out all the duplicate 
          social security numbers and then count ONLY the 
          last vote as the actual one.  That way, anyone could
          change their mind and vote again, knowing the last 
          vote will be their official one.
          
          And social security numbers are only given to 
          citizens and the government already has it in 
          their computers as to how old we all are because 
          of the Social Security laws and all that.  So,
          there is no way anyone could cheat and we could 
          make it a federal offense to alter your vote or 
          sell your vote or defraud the voting commission
          in any way.
          
          So, as you can see there are many issues to 
          cover before we put anything into place in this 
          RE-INVENTION OF GOVERNMENT.
          
          We haven't even discussed the possibility of a
          Constitutional Convention.  This is another major 
          consideration because it will probably have to
          be done in order to make sure we do everything right, 
          tie up all the loose ends, as they like to say on TV!  
          We probably have to amend the Constitution one more 
          time to make all these changes official, but that's 
          been done 22 times in our history already.  One
          more won't hurt.  

          But this one would be the LAST  AMENDMENT 
          because once we allow for the people to decide the 
          issues of the day on the ballot, there are no more 
          issues that have to be turned into a Constitutional 
          battle.  That's another major advantage too,
          but it requires a ton of thought so that it can be 
          worded properly and so that the Supreme Court doesn't 
          find any problems with the wording and so that all 
          the states can ratify it quickly and easily.
          
          MORE ABOUT THE UPCOMING CONSTITUTIONAL
          CONVENTION IN THE NEXT ISSUE.
          
          So, please become a subscriber.  President Clinton 
          and V.P. Al Gore will be informed of all your input 
          and together we can make something happen in this 
          government that helps us all save money and save 
          our country at the same time.  There's so much waste 
          right now in this country it's rediculous. That's
          another thing that Bill Clinton and Al Gore want to 
          get rid of.
 
          They even trotted out tons of paperwork onto the 
          White House Lawn to show to the American people 
          all the unnecessary paperwork.  President Clinton 
          said that it now takes 40,000 government employees 
          JUST TO MAKE SURE ALL THE OTHER GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS
          ARE FILLING OUT THE FORMS CORRECTLY!
          
          Have you ever heard of such a thing?  Only in government.
          If this government were a private corporation and you
          didn't fill out the paperwork correctly, they fire your
          sorry butt!  In government, they just hire someone else
          to do your job for you.  God, I think I want a gov't
          job!

          Pretty ridiculous isn't it?  There was even a Paperwork
          Reduction Act created by Congress a few years ago, 
          and by the time Congress got through with this bill, 
          there was 10 times more paperwork than before!  Oh, 
          well, that's Representative Democracy for you.
          Just like too many chefs ruin the soup, too much 
          compromise, too many lobbyists, too much bribery 
          & greed leads to bad law!
        
          Well, you and the rest of our readers are going 
          to change all that, aren't we?
