" The best speaker of the evening - judging from audience reactions - was Christian Pierre Joubert who is running for Governor. His issues were health and prosperity but it was how he spoke to us that got us with him in just two minutes. Then he handled a couple snarky questions from a couple of well known political junkies who like to bait candidates. He absolutely dissed them. "Are you liberal or conservative?" "Well, I am both at different occasions. I have a left brain and a right brain and I like to use them both." Watch for this guy. You will enjoy listening to him and he says things that make sense". Northwest Citizen, "Bill Mize forum starts the season" by John Servais, (July 23, 2008) CLICK HERE FOR THE ARTICLE (see also endorsement link above).
During the gubernatorial (governor's) primary elections of August 19, 2008, the most important election of Washington State, Christian Pierre Joubert and his "Fundamental Freedom's Action Plan" harvested nearly twice as many votes as the Greens and more than twice in relation to other minority and third parties. If we are to count the Republican Party and the G.O.P. as one movement, his Fundamental Freedom's Action Plan, as a platform, emerged as the third political force. (For the evidence, see the Secretary of State's website for the results by clicking here).
This success is based on the People's thirst for the expansion of additional fundamental freedoms and their desire to believe in a political philosophy whose Plan of Action proposes a credible method by which to satisfy the five basic needs all Civilizations have struggled with: (a) good vibrant and unpolluted food and water catering to life and reproduction (b), a decent and re-energizing shelter structure, (c) affordable health care and conditions under which lifestyle medicine is prevalent (d), meaningful access to education, culture, art and spiritual practice,(e) and equal access to an efficient Justice system, including, but not limited to civil justice, thanks to which security and all of the other freedoms mentioned above can be vindicated when necessary.
JOUBERT AND HIS "FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS" PLATFORM ECHOED IN THE PUBLIC, AN ECHO FROM WHICH A "HOLISTIC" APPROACH TO POLITICS EMERGED
"A good politician triumphs by adapting to the times and taking advantage of opportunities as they come. A great politician anticipates openings others don’t see and creates possibilities that were not there before". Raymond Aron (French political philosopher)
The credible method that many constituents appreciated was the plan outlined in the first paragraph of the Voter's pamphlet:
“Because I feel Washington State should be leading the Nation in promoting a Spiritual Civilization based on holistic medicine, alternative energy, affordable housing, relevant education, a dynamic economy, bio-diversity, world development and meaningful access to justice, I respectfully propose my “FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS” PLAN OF ACTION.” (Christian Pierre Joubert, Washington State’s Voters Pamphlet, primary election, August 19th, 2008).
Complementary and alternative medicine, or holistic medicine, (a form of enlightened Reason and Innovative Science shouldering a troubled medical and social system), has been a resisted current to mainstream medicine, yet it has greatly helped to heal patients. And in doing so, more maintream physicians are opened to change and as a result, patients are healtier and happier (See some statistics below).
In a similar way, practicing "holistic" politics in the Democratic Party can provoke consternation at first, but when the dust has settled, the mainstream is more enlightened and effective.
As History shows, it is upon these forces that Progress flowers. (For the evidence, click here). However, there is usually a price to pay for being un-orthodox. In this case, the loss of the primaries. So Joubert's political duties now is to support and endorse those Democrats who are still running and who represent the most hope for the realization of our basic liberties.
Thus, in addition to the Obama endorsement and the endorsement of the other Democrats on the ballot, the Fundamental Freedoms Action Committee and Joubert will support the endorsed Democrat Ms Christine Grégoire. As the present Governor is the best freedom advocate in relation to her Republican (G.O.P) rival.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO VOTE FOR GOVERNOR GRÉGOIRE ?
The primaries confirmed that the electoral gap between Mr Rossi (46,35 percent of the votes) and Ms Grégoire (48,27 percent) is tight. Four years ago, Christine Grégoire won by 133 votes. Most of Mr Rossi's votes came from East Washington, an agricultural zone. The Fundamental Freedoms Action Plan not only received much more than 133 votes from these counties, but has many measures that cater to the development of these rural counties (viticulture, crop & tree planting, spreading the internet culture, eco-construction, human rights centers, CLICK HERE TO REVIEW SOME OF THESE 178 MEASURES). Thus, our 16,646 supporters, who come from a wide spectrum of political convictions, all aspiring to greater fundamental freedoms, can therefore make a significant contribution to Chris Grégoire's re-election and to Barack Obama's presidential challenge. And in doing so, we can significantly contribute in securing our basic rights, in expanding our fundamental freedoms and duties, in amending our Constitutions so that they are consistent with the exigencies of our Times.
THUS, IN THE PRESENT CONSTELLATION OF POLITICAL CIRCUMSTANCES, CHRIS GRÉGOIRE IS THE BEST GOVERNOR CANDIDATE OF CHOICE
A student from Gonzaga Law School, Christine Grégoire shines with her husband’s “human rights” prestigious name (CLICK HERE to see who Abbé Henri Grégoire was, one of the key human rights heroes of the European enlightenment in the 18th century whoses efforts significantly help to emancipate Jews and Blacks), which is a advantageous when she comes to Europe to negotiate good commerce. In addition, she has been helpful to Washingtonians' health (e.g., a top priority, by 2010, is to acheive equal access to health-care for all children), education (more funds, more space, better quality), environment protection (made Washington State a founding member of the Western Climate Initiative, green economy promotion) and general welfare (homeowner assistance) while having been a leader in the State’s economy, including, but not limited to alternative energies like solar and wind and sustainability. From a look at her historic achievements, when she is face to face with special interests (like tobacco) and the general good, she has willingly chosen to first satisfy the People’s basic needs and constitutional rights, much more than ideological dogmas and corporate greed. Her support for the Dalai Lama (See their pictures by mouse clicking here) and for what he stands for (minority freedoms, human rights, an ecological lifestyle, spiritual values) confirms the quality of her political philosophy. Moreover, during the last four years in Olympia, she has had much recognition, be it with top national Obama Democrats or in the Forbes magazine's financial community, notably for her economic and diplomatic savoir-faire (CLICK HERE FOR ILLUSTRATIONS).
Lastly, differently from her G.O.P. rival who distinguished himself by publically defining his personal taste with the reported comment “He loves a good steak", Governor Grégoire publically declared being more into a plant eating lifestyle: “She loves stir-fry and chocolate mousse”. (Cf The Seattle Times, October 12, 2008, page A 20). Just this choice reflects that Ms Grégoire will be a better public health promoter and a human rights and nature protector than her rival. (CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT WHY).
Moreover, as chocolate mousse has been one of our consistent issues, (CLICK HERE FOR THE EVIDENCE) and abundantly reported in the media (CLICK HERE TO EXAMINE THIS ISSUE), The FFAP committee all the more supports her, albeit with the wish that she incorporates more fundamental freedoms within her platform and later as well, once back in the Government. In particular, the Action Committee underlines the importance of endorsing the four fundamental freedoms whose implementation would reduce chronic diseases, chronic pain and stress by 50 percent in four years: equal access to holistic health (the Queen of our basic rights), equal access to civil justice (the King of our basic rights), equal access to liberating and "equalizing" knowledge and high speed internet (the Prince of our basic rights) and affordable and meaningful access to sustainability living.
IN THE PRESENT CONSTELLATION OF POLITICAL CIRCUMSTANCES, BARACK OBAMA IS THE BEST PRESIDENT CANDIDATE
As for President candidate Obama, the electoral race being less tight, a few words of support should suffice. In terms of the economy, Obama has focused on key issues to redress the American working force. 1. No tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas and substantial tax breaks for companies whose owners create jobs in the United States. 2. Making critical investments in our national infrastructure, to be paid for by closing special interest tax loopholes, among other means. 3. The creation of five million new green jobs by investing in alternative sources of energy, that which will lower gas prices and make Americans more energy independent and healthier. 4. Raising mileage standards, fast track technology for alternative fuels and cut taxes for the middle class as we break the grip of foreign oil. 5. Respecting patient medical choices in the next health care system and providing affordable, accessible health insurance coverage to all Americans, while lowering costs by 2,500 dollars per year for the typical family. 6. As for the war, one of the structural causes to our domestic woes and international insecurity, Obama is focusing on bringing the Iraq war to a responsible end and lock down loose nuclear weapons while strengthening our Alliances to meet 21 st century threats. And the European ally is also very enthusiastic in building the Peace of Nations with Obama and his team. (See www.wa.barackobama.com for his complete agenda).
THE CORE FREEDOMS WE ARE STRIVING TO GET CODIFIED INTO LAW
" Christian Joubert, of Edmonds, would make public health and holistic healing his top priority. The Democrat says on his Web site that "chronic diseases including chronic stress can be cut down by at least half in four years" under his proposed policies". SEATTLE TIMES by staff reporter Andrew Garber, July 27, 2008.
A. FIRST CORE FREEDOM:
THE "QUEEN" OF OUR HUMAN FREEDOMS WITHOUT WHICH ALL OF THE OTHERS MAKE NO SENSE: OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BE HEALTHY AND FREE FROM SOCIALLY INDUCED CHRONIC DISEASES VIA THE ADOPTION OF TOXICITY FREE LEGISLATION, HOLISTIC HEALTH FREEDOMS AND EQUAL ACCESS TO HOLISTIC MEDICINE
“For the first time, cancer has surpassed heart disease as the top killer of Americans under 85…. In 2002, the most recent year for which information is available, 476,009 Americans under 85 died of cancer compared with 450,637 who died of heart disease. ” (American Cancer Society’s annual report released in January 2005, CLICK HERE FOR THE ENTIRE ARTICLE AND OTHER GLOOMY HEALTH STATISTICS )...“The real richness of a Nation is the Health of the People” (British Prime Minister Disraeli).
All human beings in general and Americans in particular have a fundamental right to benefit from equal access to holistic health (including, but not limited to genuine health-care choices) and freedom from persistent bioaccumulative chemical toxicity. By holistic health we mean what the International Community has determined:
" Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity ” (The World Health Organization’s Constitution).
This norm is central to any national revival. And can not be achieved until all Governments embrace first the toxicity and detoxification challenge. And in the U.S. toxins and pollutants are increasing at an alarming rate.
"Chemicals such as lindane, lead compounds, and some brominated flame retardants and organophosphate pesticides are examples of persistent, bio-accumulative, and/or highly toxic chemicals that continue to be used in commerce, although strong evidence exists that they pose threats to human and ecosystem health. (...) With few exceptions, the U.S. government lacks the authority or an efficient policy instrument to prevent these high-priority chemicals from being used in products and processes or released to the environment. It also has been very difficult for state and local governments to restrict these chemicals. Policy instruments to efficiently and effectively phase out problematic chemicals are needed at all levels of government. (New Solut. 2007 Jan 1;17 (3):193-207 17959562.
Yet, other advanced Democracies are successful in banning bioaccumulative toxicity. Some comparative evidence: Ingredients used in American personal care products: 10,500. Portion of chemical ingredients in cosmetics that have been assessed for health and safety by the industry’s self policing safety panel: 11 percent. Ingredients banned from cosmetics. USA 10. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE EVIDENCE OF THE TOXIC CHEMICAL EPIDEMIC.
As many production ingredients as in the United States, except that in Europe, home of the precautionary principle doctrine, there were 1100 of them which were considered unsafe (www.safecosmetics.org).
“When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically.” (Wingspread Statement, 1998)
In a similar vein, we can not achieve the goal of cutting chronic diseases by half in four years without the legal institutionalization of therapeutic (i.e., health, medical) freedoms, meaning that there should be a non discriminatory approach to all empirically-based health-care techniques. From the People's health perspective, there is a need to democratize the State's monopoly on "certified official medicine". The World Health Organization has classified over hundred Medical approaches. The American chosen mainstream official medicine (called allopathy, meaning drugs and surgery), has too many drawbacks, for the most part (not for everything), but for too much, see the evidence of multiple hundreds of thousands of Americans who die each year because of this type of medicine, via a CLICK HERE) is only one of these approaches. And the European Parliament has recognized over a dozen of them, from naturopathy, to homeopathy, phyto-therapy, aromatherapy and acupuncture and others. There are enough protective criminal laws to prevent medical deceit and heretic and-or orthodox quackery. The People need to decide themselves what is their best medicine and when needed, get Financial assistance for the health plan that works for them.
"Every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body”. THE HONORABLE Justice CARDOZO et al, in SCHLOENDORFF v. SOCIETY OF N.Y. HOSP., 211 N.Y. 125, 129, 105 N.E. 92, 93 (1914).
In this perspective, health professionals should inform patients of all scientifically based prognostic and treatment procedures, including alternative, natural, integrative, “cam” (complementary and alternative medicine) and holistic therapies, without which the patient's consent is not secured. (See patient's bill of rights, via mouse click).
In conclusion, we are hoping that our leaders and executives will lead the Nation in institutionalizing a responsible free choice public-private holistic health system that would exclude no one. Among other measures and pending Legislation, there is a social need to adopt two executive orders.
1. An executive order on persistent bioaccumulative toxic chemicals measures (CLICK HERE FOR A MODEL PROPOSAL).
2. A second executive order on measures to implement the People's right to benefit from equal access to holistic health (CLICK HERE FOR A MODEL PROPOSAL)
3. By advocating before the State Legislature and the US Congress as many as possible of the 38 public health measures outlined in the Action Plan's platform (CLICK HERE FOR THOSE MEASURES).
If these proposals were implemented, Washingtonians' and Americans chronic diseases and acute pain rate could be reduced by half in four years and there would be less urgency in establishing long term care services for the elderly and persons with disabilities, if only because holistic health would bestow upon the majority of Americans health and resiliency.
In addition, thanks to the implementation of the Action Plan's detox and holistic health measures, there would be substantial savings for all parties, as chronic diseases drain much of the State's public finance and the People's savings and moral (See the evidence via a mouse click on medical bills being the first cause to bankruptcies and one of the first causes to foreclosures, click here to examine the evidence).
If these Action Plan proposals were implemented, Washingtonians' and Americans chronic diseases and acute pain rate could be reduced by half in four years and there would be less urgency in establishing long term care services for the elderly and persons with disabilities because holisic health would bestow upon the majority of these weakened Washingtonians radiant health and resiliency. (As a result, Washington State BALLOT INITIATIVE MEASURE NO. 1029 would not be urgent if the State invested in holistic health retreat centers and in lifestyle medicine. Pending the eventuality of these measures, it is nonetheless reasonable to vote for this Referendum-Initiative measure, provided the home health-care practitioners get trained in longevity and holistic medicine and eco-sustainability lifestyle.)
In addition, thanks to the implementation of the Action Plan's detox and health measures, there would be substantial savings for both the State and the People. Chronic diseases drains much of the State's public finance and the People's hard earned savings and moral, please see the evidence via a mouse click (medical bills being the first cause to bankruptcies and one of the first causes to foreclosures, (click here to examine the evidence).
Lastly, with the reduction of over half of chronic disease in four years, (and even more with time), patients would become "healers", they would be blessed with "new blood" and "high spirits", there would thus be no need for assisted "suicide" via lethal prescription drugs. Being "elderly" does not equate to being "sick". (See the Vilcambans, Hunza and other centenarians villages where there are few if any chronic diseases, via mouse CLICK HERE). Sickness is a result of not paying attention, of violating lifestyle medicine's principles. The normal path to "death" is for one's soul to leave Planet Earth when one is ready, in one's deep sleep, naturally, painlessly, joyfully, via the expiration action mechanism. In this perspective, even though BALLOT INITIATIVE MEASURE No. 1000 on assisted suicide sounds compassionate for patients who are suffering, the best response to chronic pain is to use well established longevity medicine so that we can avoid chronic diseases and excruciating pain in the first place. Death row inmates also often leave Planet Earth via "lethal prescription".
To refuse to explore holistic longevity medicine and effective holistic pain management techniques before enriching pharmaceutical companies and shortening patients lives is not reasonable. (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE EVIDENCE ON THE DRUG COMPANIES' DECEPTION WITH CANCER AND THE POWER OF HOLISTIC MEDICINE). On the other hand, keeping active the present law on medically assisted suicide (i.e. felony class c) and incarcerating compassionate physicians for responding to the suffering patient's plea for assisted suicide (e.g. the morphine drip which in reality is often the common practice) is unethical (See measure number 33 for the details on this issue).
B. SECOND CORE FREEDOM
THE "KING" OF OUR HUMAN RIGHTS, WITHOUT WHICH OUR HEALTH FREEDOMS CAN NOT BE EFFICIENTLY PROTECTED: THE RIGHT TO BENEFIT FROM MEANINGFUL AND EQUAL ACCESS TO CIVIL JUSTICE AND FREEDOM FROM JUDICIAL OPPRESSION AND NEGLIGENCE
"A statewide report, however, showed 80 percent of low-income individuals in Washington facing a critical legal need do so without legal assistance each year."Stanley A. Bastian, President WSBA (December 7th, 2007)
Washingtonians and Americans also need to benefit from their constitutional right to enjoy equal and meaningful access to civil justice. Not only is this project not difficult to achieve (ClICK HERE FOR THE EVIDENCE), but this initiative would also greatly benefit both the Nation and the State while it would guarantee the People's health's rights. Please click here for the constitutional arguments. As stated the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) President Stanley A. Bastian regarding this issue (and this assessment also applies for the entire Nation) :
"This case highlights the need to greatly expand access to civil legal services in Washington, particularly when basic human needs are at stake such as in child custody disputes. Every day, people around the state appear in court without legal representation. And they often do so by necessity, rather than choice. Those individuals are also often unable to effectively present their cases in a court. Access to the justice system is a fundamental right, and no person should be denied access simply because they are poor. The WSBA will continue to work with the Legislature to expand access to our court system in Washington."
This constitutional right is central to any Democratic restoration. The present interpretation of our Constitutions in this matter is self-serving to special interests whose powerholders have no class interests in enboldening and strengthening the working masses. Even the more enlightened members of the US Supreme Court confirmed what our "equal protection of the laws" norm implies:
“…We have recognized that the promise of equal justice for all would be an empty phrase for the poor, if the ability to obtain judicial relief were made to turn on the length of a person's purse. It is true that these cases have dealt with criminal proceedings. But the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is not limited to criminal prosecutions. Its protections extend as well to civil matters". 351 US 12, 76 S.Ct. 585, 100 L.Ed. 891 (1956). (Opinion written by Supreme Court Justices Black and Renquist).
Moreover, the Preamble of the Federal Constitution inserts the obligation "establish Justice" before any other priority and the framers did not intend that Justice was reserved to only those who could pay 200 to 300 dollars an hour of attorney fees in complex tort or other civil law actions which can take multiple hundreds of hours before final determination is rendred. In addition, the constitutional concepts "promote the general Welfare and "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" clarify some of that intent, i.e. Justice as a Liberty to "ourselves", not only to the financial elite class or category.
“ We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America ”. (Preamble of the Federal Constitution).
In many other advanced democracies, this civil versus criminal legal aid discrimination is not accepted. The European Human rights Court has consecrated this fundamental right enshrined in Europe’s Constitutional bedrock erga omnes (for all) Incorporated within the fundamental rights Charter of the European Union, article 47 provides in pertinent part:
«Legal aid is accorded to all who do not dispose of sufficient resources, if this aid is necessary to guarantee an effective access to justice».
Almost all of the International Community's other advanced Democracies have upheld the "equal access to the civil courts" freedom, based on the fundamental principle of "equality of arms" and have thus provided public expense to all who could not afford an attorney, including all non frivolous civil cases (Click here to see the comparative "access to civil justice" results in different countries).
“One of the basic tenets of municipal and international justice is the concept of equality of arms, defined by the European Court of Human Rights as ‘a reasonable opportunity of presenting the case to the court under conditions which do not place him in substantial disadvantages vis-à-vis his opponent” (European Court of Human rights: Kaufman v. Belgium, 1986).
THE SARDINE AND THE SHARK CANNOT BE TREATED EQUALLY.
"Majestic is the equality principle of the law where it incriminates a homeless person sleeping under a bridge out of necessity in the same way the law incriminates a millionaire who would sleep under the same bridge". Anatole France
Canon 3 of the Judicial rules obliges Judges to be "fair" and the "hear" the parties, this canonic rule means that the Judge should not treat a sardine and a shark equally. Both have a different set of protective "arms", very unequal, therefore, the sardines needs extra protection from the State, the Judge if justice is to be done. Yet, Washington State's Supreme Court obliges Judges to treat all parties the same. And there are no statutes to remedy this problem.
Thus, the weaker "sardine" who can not afford a "dolphin" attorney for its tort or family law case and who cannot get a public defender (reserved to "indigent sardines" who allegedly committed a crime) is face to face, in the arena of truth fighting, with an experienced and financially strong "shark". In the same way, financially weak parties become "pro se" (defending themselves) out of necessity, because they cannot afford an attorney, and thus, when they get their day in court, they necessarily do not know the law as a 300 dollars an hour seasoned attorney, even less its complex practice. Thus to oblige a sardine-like weak party and a shark-like stronger party to be:
"...bound by the same rules of procedure and subsantive law as everyone else" (Bly v Henry, 28 Wn.App. 469, 471, 624, P.2d 717 (1980).
Is not being fair, and thus violates Canons 3.4 and 3.5., including constitutional and public international law. (See chapter 3). Moreover, the high costs of depositions and transcripts deprives them from the "weapons" of litigation. This situation remains completely unconstitutional and erodes the very core of a democratic Republic, the very "Spirit" of the Law.
Because equal access to justice based on the fundamental principle of "equality of arms" is at the core of a democratic Republic. This situation remains unconstitutional. Washington State and the United States would benefit from additional creative audacity and constitutional vigor in this realm.

THIRD CORE FREEDOM.
"THE PRINCE" OF HUMAN RIGHTS, WITHOUT WHICH LIFE HAS NO FULFILLING DIGNITY TO IT : OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO REMAIN FREE FROM IGNORANCE AND OUR RIGHT TO BE ENTITLED TO RELEVANT EDUCATION INSOFAR AS THE SATISFACTION OF OUR BASIC NEEDS ARE CONCERNED
"Keep the People ignorant. This way, we can better manipulate them" Queen Katherine of Russia. "Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness" George Washington (1796). "An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a Republic." Thomas Jefferson
For our first two basic rights to be long-lasting and decisive in the renewal of the Nation, the People also need to benefit from the equal and affordable access to relevant knowledge in the following skills.
(a) Internationally recognized human rights and duty law in conjunction with the basics of American civil rights law and a general 101 introduction to law.
(b) Science-based nutrition and toxic free lifestyle education.
(c) Holistic healthcare techniques including psychological counseling.
(d) Sustainability and eco-development sciences, including, but not limited to the teaching of clean renewable energies, eco construction, alternative transportation systems and organic agriculture techniques.
(e) Basic computer and internet training, that which constitutes the cultural and education "equalizer" of modern times.
(f) Methodology on learning and research skills.There should be as much emphasis on left brain development as on right brain development, meaning art, creative imagination and intuitive knowledge should be balanced with critical thinking, verbal communication skills and achievement.
(g) Meditation & breathing techniques, holistic & health maintaining exercises, sun breaks, music and art classes.
These skills can be taught either via community colleges, universities or human rights & duties education lighthouse centers, or "civic clinics" (see below).
This general education (the People's Education, orchestrated by both private and public synergy) would equip Washingtonians and Americans with the necessary pedagogical, civic and health tools to ensure the satisfaction of their basic needs, that which would significantly reduce sickness, legal conflicts and social entropy in our communities while promoting development, (including, but not limited to financial stability), sustainability, a renewal of the American Republic and Peace among Nations. As the UNESCO Constitution provides in its Preamble: "Peace beings in the minds of men". This ideal is central to any Republic worthy of legal existence and international recognition. Click here for the action plan's access to relevant knowledge measures.
FOURTH CORE FREEDOM
AND OTHER LIBERTIES AND PROJECTS PROMOTED BY THE COMMITTEE'S FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS ACTION PLAN
A recent survey (Easton, 2006) found that 81% of the UK population agreed that the Government’s primary objective should be the creation of happiness not wealth. Earlier this year David Cameron, House Member Leader of the Opposition, put happiness firmly on the political agenda by arguing that “It’s time we admitted that there’s more to life than money, and it’s time we focused not just on GDP (gross domestic product), but on GWB – general well-being" (BBC, 2006).
Freedom from poverty, from homelessness, from debt, from inertia and entropy, from frustration is inseparable from our right to live in a sustainable environment and to work in socially useful areas which do not damage life. Affordable and meaningful access to ecologically sound urban and rural living communities where people have meaningful work and a decent chance to pursue happiness, as provides our federal Constitution is a necessary condition for many of our other rights to prosper. Thus, to better favor the expansion and the codification of this basic right, the implementation of the following measures would help.
1. FREEDOM FROM POLLUTION AND TOXICITY. Environment and socially friendly and renewable energies (e.g. solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, hydro-electric, pedal, air compression and others) and better water purification systems, including, but not limited to grey water systems and ozone.
2. FREEDOM FROM IGNORANCE AND TECHNO-RIGIDITY. Basic needs appropriate technologies, access to high speed internet, additional home schooling and a more flexible work week (including in the home or local community).
3. FREEDOM FROM HOMELESSNESS AND DESERTS. Affordable eco-housing (built with green and non toxic bio-material), organic agriculture and permaculture, tree planting, viticulture and bio-diversity landscaping (too many towns and cities are devoid of parks, this is not conducive to the People's right to pursue happiness, let alone children's need to play).
4. FREEDOM FROM POVERTY AND CONGESTION. Additional economic boosters, from new crops and agricultural & energy breakthrough techniques to new ways of dynamizing our economy, more sustainable living wages, innovative and simple mass transport schemes.
5. FREEDOM FROM EXCESSIVE CONSUMERISM : Art promotion, including via the construction of a "Responsibility Statue" in Alki Island (Seattle harbor)and human rights lighthouse centers (civic clinics) in all of our 39 counties of Washington State and 50 States of the Union would contribute in preparing the condition for the next Civilization shift (See the mision and history link to examine the evolution of Civilizations issue).
6. FREEDOM FROM NECRO MILITARO-MERCANTILISM (The one President Eisenhower spoke about, see below). Media control is important, as predatory behavior begins in the mind. In addition to the dozens of measures outlined in the Action Plan, there is one pilot project of particular importance, the building of an experimental holistic health eco village based on detox and immuno boosting retreats, sustainability, appropriate technology and congenial values, in the low to mid mountain area, close to hot springs and a river. This project would start the shift in the civilization process. Because then, People would have the living evidence that lifestyle medicine and holistic health are decisive when it comes to the rejuvenation and restoration of chronically ill patients. Once shown to be decisive, this model could be implanted within each of Washington State's 39 counties. And later, within the Federal Union's 50 States. Provided our law-makers allow our Constitutions to get more "perfected" with key amendment provisions (See the Committee's Constitutional clean-up Declaration for the details).

TENTATIVE CONCLUSION ON THE GENETIC CODE OF LIBERTY
"Anyone willing to give up liberty in exchange for security deserves neither." - Benjamin Franklin
After Franklin and his colleagues birthed the American Republic via the establishment of a Federal Constitution, a wandering woman asked him:
"Ben, what sort of Constitution did you draft for us".
Ben Franklin: " A Republic...if you can keep it ".
In this perspective, the central issue before the Court of Public Opinion is this: In 232 years of legal existence and social experience, have the Americans looked after and maintained their Republic ? Have they "given up liberty in exchange of security" ? Have they allowed the Republic to be usurped and broken by a small minority of finance predators ?
Have they turned off the expression of their Liberty genes ?
ANSWER: SOME EVIDENCE CONFIRMING THAT THE PRESENT FEDERAL REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT & SOME OF THE OTHER ONES BEFORE MAY HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER and-OR ABUSIVELY CONTROLED BY A SMALL MINORITY OF PRIVILEGED & CALLOUS INDIVIDUALS
1. EXPERT TESTIMONY ONE. James K Gailbraith (Economist and son of the reknowned Harvard professor John Gailbraith writes, "Today, the signature of modern American capitalism is neither benign competition, nor class struggle, nor an inclusive middle-class utopia. Instead, predation has become the dominant feature — a system wherein the rich have come to feast on decaying systems built for the middle class. The predatory class is not the whole of the wealthy; it may be opposed by many others of similar wealth. But it is the defining feature, the leading force. And its agents are in full control of the government under which we live." (James Gailbraith, THE PREDATOR STATE HOW CONSERVATIVES ABANDONED THE FREE MARKET AND WHY LIBERALS SHOULD TOO, CLICK HERE FOR THE BOOK REVIEW).
2. JUDICIARY EXPERT TWO. "The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes". US Supreme Court Justice Felix FRANKFURTER
3. PRESIDENTIAL WITNESS THREE: " In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist......We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow".GENERAL EISENHOWER, COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE EUROPEAN THEATER DURING HITLER'S & KRUPP'S MILITARO-INDUSTRIAL WAR, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A.
4. PRESIDENTIAL WITNESS FOUR: " Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.". US President WOODROW WILSON, The New Freedom: A Call For The Emancipation Of The Generous Energies Of A People (quote found in his book's preface).
5. SCIENTIST WITNESS FIVE: “I'm angry that in the land of freedom, Americans are still denied access to dozens of effective cancer treatments that are available in other countries around the world (…) I'm angry that the Food and Drug Administration denies people's rights to choose their own treatments (…) I'm angry that the Federal Government has failed to test a single alternative cancer treatment, despite years of efforts (…) I'm angry about the Mafia-like control of the cancer field by the drug industry, through their domination of virtually every single cancer research and treatment institution (…) I'm angry that the "scientific" studies of new drugs, funded by huge companies, almost always turn in favorable results and are approved by the FDA”. Dr Ralph W. Moss, Director of Cancer decisions, formerly from the Sloan Kettering cancer institute.
6. PRESIDENTIAL WITNESS SIX: ABRAHAM LINCOLN ON CORPORATE FINANCE BAIL OUTS."It is an old maxim and a very sound one, that he that dances should always pay the fiddler. Now, sir, in the present case, if any gentlemen, whose money is a burden to them, choose to lead off a dance, I am decidedly opposed to the people's money being used to pay the fiddler...all this to settle a question in which the people have no interest, and about which they care nothing. These capitalists generally act harmoniously, and in concert, to fleece the people, and now, that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people's money to settle the quarrel." Abraham LINCOLN January 11, 1837
SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION ?
SOLUTION ONE: PAINFUL.
"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution".
Abraham Lincoln
SOLUTION TWO: MORE CHALLENGING.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”
Patrick Henry
ABOVE: The year was 1787. The place: the State House in Philadelphia, the same location where the Declaration of Independence had been signed 11 years earlier. For four months, 55 delegates from the several states met to frame a Constitution for a federal republic that would last into "remote futurity."
"We have it in our power to begin the world over again. A situation, similar to the recent one, hath not happened since the days of Noah until now. The birthday of a new world is at hand” Thomas Paine, February 14, 1776

"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance" Bobby KENNEDY
ÉGALITÉ
FRATERNITÉ
"Those who won our independence (...) believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty". Justice Louis BRANDIES
"My country is where there is no liberty" Tom Paine
"The best disinfectant is Sunlight". US Supreme Court Justice BRANDEIS
(...) " Freedom is not a gift received from the State or leader, but a possession to be won every day by the effort of each and the union of all ". Albert CAMUS
(In Shakespeare's language, "liberté chérie" means "Dear and beloved Liberty" and has often been invoked during the 18th century Enlightenment and Revolutionary period for "quantic hutzpah energy" inspiration. As well as during the 7 major wars against England. The 8 major wars against Germany. The hundreds of wars and conflicts during over 1500 years of painful militaro-mercantile History, the end of which was ushered in with the Evian agreements in 1962, which terminated the Algerian war mistake (over one million victims). And which would not have been possible without the civic construction of Europe, whose constitutional core is based on the guarantee of fundamental freedoms and social rights. Hence, the word "Liberté" carries with it over 1500 years of deep-tissue and sweeping emotions and karma).
