53 measures to better oxygenate Life
A. FREEDOM FROM CHRONIC DISEASES AND DESTRUCTIVE STRESS
1. My first mesure will focus on that which is the most precious of all of our internationally recognized human rights, without which our other constitutional rights make no sense: our right to be healthy and in a state of well-being. If elected, within the first four weeks of my mandate, the following will be put in place. 1.1. An emergency task force to examine Washingtonians health and the level of toxicity in each Washingtonian. These toxicity tests will be free of charge. 1.2. Thereafter, an "the holistic health access and universal health-care executive order" (click to see),to liberate the healing energies of all, via the active promotion of our fundamental freedom to choose different health-care approaches. Tens of thousands of suffering Washingtonian patients are misled each week to believe that there is only allopathy (i.e., modern medicine, meaning prescribed drugs and surgery) that is the scientifically proven standard of care. It is not. Take the money and the dogmas out of our health-care and-or sickness system and public health will dramatically improve. 1.3. In this context, I will see to it that a Bill get drafted and presented to the State Legislature on a "holistic healer legal status".
2 . Second concomitant mesure: The State will better examine its possibilities in financing a comprehensive and universal health care system hinged on a publicly financed prevention based system. And once the Tobacco and recklessness taxes are pouring in, the State will cover the health-care costs of all low-income Washingtonians and partial costs of the mid-income class whose members are having financial difficulty to meet this basic need. Because the evidence shows that the health of People significantly improves with holitistic approaches and preventive medicine, the State health-care budget will not need to grow. On the contrary. It will diminish. As will the corresponding taxes.
3. Third mesure: New rules will be voted upon so that medical ethics boards can integrate integrative medicine and innovative science within the mainstream. To this end, new standards of care based on Science and new health-care positions need to be integrated. In oncology, toxicologists, naturopaths and immuno-therapists must be part of the treatment team. A special ethics drug team to be institutionalized via Statute will review the FDA's science and policies and uphold the European “precautionary principle” whereby all dubious drugs released in health market will first need to be genuinely proven effective and non toxic before being approved for animal and human consumption.
4. New Laws need to be enacted so that the financial health incentive structure based on education and prevention will reward the physician and the health practitioners at least as much as the actual treatment plan. In this context, diet will be a priority. The inventor Edison did proclaim: "The physician of tomorrow will base the cure on food".
5. A Declaration on the rights of patients and duties of health-care needs to be proclaimed and posted in all health buildings. In this context, new rules are needed in order for the patient to better participate in the decision making and informed consent process. Despite a few legal precedents, there are still too many State obstacles opposing innovative Science and Traditional non-conventional health approaches. " We see no reason why a patient should not be allowed to make an informed decision to go outside currently approved medical methods in search of an unconventional treatment”. (Second Circuit US Court of Appeals, in the landmark “Schneider v Revici case dated 1987).
6. Strict laws and monitoring regarding conflicts of interests between industry and physicians, between "special interests" and the common good. In this perspective, oncologists must stop receiving a substantial part of their salaries from the pharmaceutical industries.
7. Innovative laws regarding the promotion of alternative birth techniques and baby education. In this legal context, i will argue before the State Legislature on the need to draft a bill to create a new licence. The license to birth babies. Future parents can have babies without any education on the consequences of this sacred act, that which costs Society great sums and efforts when babies turn out handicaped or mentally dysfunctional for life. Ignorance in this field is much more dangerous and costly for society than driving cars or fishing. Yet both of these activities require licenses. The work-shops and training for this social need can be done in the human rights and duties lighthouses that are projected to be built in all towns (See below).
8. Oregon-like dignity end of life process and on a reform of the hospice system. The elderly too often leave Planet Earth in deplorable conditions, losing their life-long savings to get taken care of in ways that are often questionable, ie. the morphine drip. For the patients who desire dieing quickly because of a genuine terminal disease and great suffering, this choice should be respected. On the other hand, if the holistic health team can re-vitalize the elderly patient, then the hospice system needs to be open to this eventuality.
9. A public education bill on the duty to teach truthful health sciences in all schools and in the Action Plan's human rights and duties centers (See below). With a concomitant curriculum on nutrition and holistic health for all public schools and subsidized universities. The scientifically proven health and budget superiority of wholesome organic plant-based diets is completely established. Taste changes. Dogmas do not. This proposed Bill, if enacted and applied, would significantly lead in itself to the reduction by over 50 percent of all chronic and civilization diseases in less than four years. Today, one in seven of our dollars goes into the sickness industry. Tomorrow (e.g. in four years), the candidate's Action Plan can bring this cost down to 3 dollars or under of our 7 dollars going into the health-care and health-maintaining well-ness industry.
10. A concomitant bill is needed to better protect and promote the sport and wellness industries, including but not limited to health restaurants, juice bars, organic wholesome foods and "superfoods" distribution (including, but not limited to the amazing organic raw chocolate mousse), sun & meditation work breaks, and immunity building and detoxification holistic health retreat centers. Given the popular sailboating practice in the Puget sound and elsewhere in the State, it may be possible to promote this sport as a de-stressor and sun-activator health activity. The disabled of the State will be encouraged to participate in holistic health and well-ness activities. Thanks to holistic health techniques, a projected 20 percent of the State's disabled will be able to get off their disability within four years, thereby saving the State and the Nation considerable funds which will be re-inserted into the prevention field.
B. FREEDOM FROM INDUSTRIAL TOBACCO POISONING
11. Stricter legislation is needed in this crucial field. To this end, I will give life to the Action Plan's proposed second executive order, the executive "end-of-industrial tobacco" order because this priority must be one of the starting points to any credible and effective public health and public finance scheme.
12. Thereafter, effective tobacco legislation based on persuasive labels (with tobacco damage label pictures like in Brazil and Canada) is needed and better tobacco cessation education and detox workshops must be organized in our 39 counties.
13. Thenceforth, a two years conversion and high tax plan (double taxation for the first year with a progressive rythm thereafter) plan will be proposed to the State Legislature. In this perspective, all big tobacco campaign donations to Legislators and Judges will be posted in all public buildings and online, in conformity with the candidate's afore-mentioned executive order.
14. Once the above is accomplished, I will unwaveringly argue and demonstrate to our State Legislature and to the People via the proposed weekly "fire-chats" that our Constitutions and public international law on crimes against Humanity and the Nuremberg precedent demand from us the codification of criminal laws against big tobacco wilful (as they know what they are doing) mass poisoning. This and only this procedure will put an end to this death industry (industrial and processed tobacco) which affects one in five Americans. For those companies and tobacco distributors who cooperate and convert this necro-product to pro-life products and services (e.g. industrial hemp mass plantation), they will be treated with equity, honor and gratitude and their employees will be assisted in finding better work. To refuse to pay heed to this historical necessity is to be an accomplice to one of the worse Crimes against Humanity that destroys over 5 millions innocent lives each year, (550,000 of whom are American lives), not to mention the many hundreds of billions of dollars this mess and our complacency cost us.
15. However, natural (or better organic) tobacco growing in one's garden for strictly personal use must remain protected as a constitutional right, if only because the tobacco plant is an excellent organic pesticides.
C. FREEDOM FROM POLLUTION AND PERSISTENT TOXIC CHEMICALS.
16. Legislation to reinforce renewable and environmentally friendly energies like solar, wind, hydrogen, natural gas, kudzu biomass and hemp oil for fuel, hydro-electric turbines, air-compressor engines, tidal-wave and geothermal energies, bicycle pedal generator energies. To this end, if elected, i would propose all human rights and duties Lighthouse centers to organize a public contest to see if any Washingtonian can convince a Panel of specialists of her or his alternative energy scheme.
17. A clean-up plan of action of Puget Sound, waterways, groundwaters, Hanford site, beaches and other soiled area, in conjunction with the State's military forces (see below). Detoxing human remains difficult if we do not detox our environment and water systems.
18. Legislation to uphold the European “precautionary principle” whereby all dubious substances released in the environment and market will first need to be genuinely proven effective and non toxic.
19. Additional ozone water purification systems need to replace the immune-compromising chlorine system. To this end, a bill to encourage chlorine filters in all showers, baths and drinking water systems will be drafted.
D. FREEDOM FROM TRANSPORTATION INERTIA & TRAFIC CONGESTION.
20. A cleaner Transportation system based on environmentally friendly energies. The Government will continue to show the example via hybrid & electrical & Kudzu & hemp fuel cars. Likewise with the State's public transportation system. A bill, if passed, will fiscally encourage Washingtonians and business to do the same. Research & Application funds will be found to popularize the French-invented air compressor car (being presently built in India). At least one hydrogen pump will be installed in Washington in order to encourage this technology for the future.
21. Fiscal incentives for workers to labor at the home. To this end, I would organize a survey to see who can and who desires to work at the home site. Thenceforth, with the State Legislature's cooperation, we could work out a plan to assist those employees who prefer to work at home. An estimated 10 percent of congested cities employees would significantly de-congest trafic and reduce urban pollution, while helping the employer to save money.
22. Still in the perspective of de-congestion, a four day work week proposal to be discussed with the People and the State Legislature. 22.1. A fiscally encouraged "People transfer" from congested areas to the more rural and developing parts of Washington State. Once more Washingtoninans are educated in the well-beingness of eco sustainable communities, it is likely that in two years, over 10 percent of Washingtonians living in the congested areas of the State will become pioneers and move to less stressed and polluted area of Washington State.
23. Regarding infrastructure issues and the clogging of Washington's high-ways and cities, the following proposals that will be submitted to the State Legislature and to the People. 23.1. The building of "slow-ways" via more bicycle lanes in congested cities. 23.2. Either a subway system or light rail or shuttle transportation system for Seattle. 23.3. . New rules on car pooling for the reserved high-way pooling lane, requiring three persons. 23.4. Finding funds to finish the airport mono-rail project via toll fees.
E. FREEDOM FROM EXCESSIVE DEBTS AND TAXATION
24. Tax reform making the fiscal structure more progressive via the decreasing of excise taxes for necessary consumption goods, the decreasing of property tax (with a “home-exemption” for the first 150,000 dollars) and a higher tax rebate for low-wage workers.
25. Tax reform Part Two with the increasing of taxes and penalty fees on that which destroys life: e.g. tobacco, pollution, different chemicals, environmental and natural resources degradation, general recklessness and negligence that significantly destroys health. In this perspective, I would propose to the State Legislature a doubling of cigarette tax for the first year and a tripling of the tobacco tax in the second and last year of Washington State tobacco legality. A long time ago early last century, Ohio and Michigan had tobacco criminal laws. There are no credible arguments that justify industrial tobacco legality.
26. For the first two years of my proposed governership, I would propose to the State Legislature the enactment of a small tax on securities (financial speculation), necessary for the sustainability infrastructure, the trafic decongestion and the modernization of the transportation system and the eco-development phase of the proposed Plan of Action.
27. A State carbon tax is needed. We need to set this tax to annual benchmarks to bring, with the expansion of solar and other renewable sources of energy, US emissions to at least 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. So we need to begin now. An initial price of $50 per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions would harness, for the Nation, $300 billion annually and for Washington State, over 6 billions dollars, money that would that would finance a green building and alternative energy revolution, providing The State with at least 200,000 new green collar jobs (in efficiency retrofits, cogeneration, geothermal, solar energy generation, and green grid enhancements, eco-housing (strawbale, cordword) etc.) in a few years with enough left over to finance the Action Plan's Statue of Civic Responsibily on Alki island and 39 human rights and duties centers in each of our 39 counties.
28. Fewer taxes also means less government "red tape" and the liberation of creative energies via different bartering schemes. If the State Treasury needed more revenue, there would be the option requesting toll fees on the Alaskan Way viaduct, the Highway 520 floating bridge and other mega-projects around the State and winning huge awards (via the People's favorable court verdicts our next Attorney General would orchestrate) on misleading pharmaceutical products, disease-producing industrial fast foods and death-generating medical dogmas.
The trend would nonetheless be fewer taxes, more services and happier & healthier Washingtonians, thanks to the Action Plan's eco-development strategy which would produce multiple billions of extra dollars thanks to the two cash crops kadzu and industrial hemp and the Action Plan's superfoods and organic agriculture activities and eco-villages plan. Moreover, because one of seven of our dollars presently goes into the sickness industries, thanks to the Action Plan's public health measures, in four years, health-care cost would drop by at least half. Furthermore, once the Action Plan's Statue of civic responsibility will be build, tourism in Seattle would significantly increase, that which would also fill up the Treasury vaults. For more details on the "win-win" demonstration of the candidate's public finance and fiscal policies, see the plan of action's evidence section.
F. FREEDOM FROM EXCESSIVE MORTGAGES, HOMELESSNESS AND CRIMES
29. Legislation to promote affordable housing (meaning under than 45,000 dollars if self-built), thanks to eco-construction technology such as strawbale, wood, clay, cordwood, bamboo, stone, hemp-biomass bricks, to which must be added flexible zoning rules. Given the importance of a piece of "promised" land and dwelling and alternative energy for all in terms of stress reduction, health maintenance, work options and crime reduction, the Action Plan's third executive order is focused on this issue, the "executive order on alternative energies and eco-dwelling for all (click to see) ".
30. Low interest governmet guaranteed loans to help all Washingtonians have his or her own piece of land. Likewise for urban and rural community housing projects. 80 percent increase in the funding to meet housing needs via the Housing Trust Fund (which is the State's most effective tool for creating rental and homeownership opportunities for lower income communities).
31. New rules to provide additional assistane to eligible immigrants so that they will have a better chance of successfully navigating the immigration process and in given them a civic education, that which will contribute in training them to be responsible citizens.
32. In order to deter predatory lending, a consumer bill to require mortgage brokers not only to act in the borrowers' best interests, but to also lend at a lower interest rate for low-income families.
33. Compassionate solidarity via battering and eco-village structures would help to free socially excluded people from homelessness and the streets, that which will avoid the clogging up of hospitals and prisons and the courts. For those in jail long-term, better education, rehabilitation and food needs to be given as well as 8 hours a day redeeming work that would assist those in need.
34. On the other hand, we need greater rigor to combat identity theft activity. Different studies confirme that 1 in 5 Washingtonian is impacted by identitty theft, the ninth worst State in the Nation. We therefore need to make better the laws and we need greater enforcement of those which exist in order to track and sentence the violators. In a similar vein, we need better laws and greater prosecution against online predators, against excessive violence on the television screen and more pollution prosecution and more consumer protection.
G. FREEDOM FROM IGNORANCE, MIS-EDUCATION AND ALIENATION
35. Additional appropriation funds for the modernization of schools and universities. The building of additional publically subsidized universities for those who can not afford the private sector. University education is a fundamental right. Not a social privelge.
36. Curriculum change on the obligation to teach all students four key pieces of knowledge: (a) internationally recognized human rights law and American civil rights law, (b) science-based nutrition, (c) holistic healthcare techniques, (d) sustainability and eco-development sciences. Given the importance of this measure, an executive "education package" order has been drafted.
37. The promotion of cultural centers within sustainable communities.
38. Promotion of Home and community schooling and cultural centers within eco-communities. Kibbutzim home and community schooling has been shown to be much better to public and city schooling.
G. FREEDOM FROM RECESSION & POVERTY.
39. So that all have an equal access to the American Lifestyle Dream, a dynamic modern economy based on the synergy of the internet revolution, science, business, corporate intelligence, fair trade, fair wages and eco-development needs to be consolidated.
40. Given the importance on how health and stress impacts productivity, meditation spaces are needs as are sun breaks (for natural vitamine d), indoor detox plants and harmonious soft music in the work place, to which a 4 days work week could be added and 4 weeks of paid vacation for all, as these measures would favor the de-stressing of workers and thus, the rejuvenation of Society.
41. Assistance is also needed to help familiies meet basic needs, via a doubling of the basic family assistance program (TANF), the increasing of food stamp eligbility and better tax relief for poor and modest families.
H. FREEDOM FROM HUNGER, DESERTS, WORLD MISERY AND INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM
42. A promotion package to encourage residential gardens, compost bins, family farms, organic agriculture, viticulture, (for grapes and wine), food tree plantations and kudzu for biomass fuel. Better enforcement of the rules that prohit logging on steep slopes and flood prone areas, likewise for the protection of national forests and recreation land via better reforestation efforts.
43. Legislation to allow the production of non medicinal hemp with which paper, ropes, textiles, fuel, house-building material can be made. Many other communities are basing their livelihoods on this cash crop. Vermont has recently started too. There is no "drug" danger in industrial hemp. And there is no credible reason to ignore a legitimate source of funds and work that would create thousands new jobs and strengthen the economy and the State with billions of additional green dollars.
44. The Action Plan's fifth executive order (called the "executive peace-building order"): as commander in chief of the Washington State military forces (Section 8, Article 3 of the State Constitution) and with the State Legislature's cooperation, and the enlightened People's referendum-based internet approval, if elected, i would direct the military forces to help build affordable homes for the needy, human rights centers in all towns, clean up soiled areas, plant trees and to participate in the end world hunger program, that which will contribute in climate normalization and significantly reduce crimes of violence and terrorism here and abroad.
45. Concomitantly, i will propose to the State Legislature the institutionalization of a Youth “green berets” public and volunteer service. After 4 weeks of sustainability training, our young adults will have the possibility to participate for a few months in eco-village development, Eden Garden dessimation, and climate normalization via tree planting, detoxification of polluted areas and ecosystem restoration work in this State. With the option to participate instead in the International community in order to redress American prestige abroad, thereby diffusing terrorism and contributing in spreading our founding fathers' good word on civil rights, on Christianity and on the magnifent dream of having for one's country the world and for one's Nation, Humanity.
I. FREEDOM FROM INJUSTICE, OPPRESSION AND TYRANNY.
46. A civil legal aid law for all the needy. Annually, seventy to eighty percent of the civil legal needs of the modest income go unmet. Many mid-income familes also prefer to refrain from vindicating their rights because of the expenses of the Justice system. For the pro ses that decide to take on their cases themselves, the system is oppressive. Too many professional are too eager to repeat that these pro ses parties "have a fool for a client". To pay heed to our Two Constitutions, it is necessary for all to be able to benefit from the constitutional right called "equal access to justice " In clear, this means that all those who can not afford an attorney must be granted public expenses to hire one, as is done in Europe.
47. Legislation to promote civic and human rights light-centers to be established first in each county and then, two years later, in each town and enlivened with art, music, education on human rights and duties and equal access to justice workshops. This is the Action Plan's six executive order. The " executive order on equal access to justice and on human rights light-house in all counties and towns ".
48. Increased appropriation of public expense to increase the number of judges, bailiffs, courtrooms, pro se legal libraries and pro se training workshops and ethics committee with new accountability rules on the judgment committee composition for both judges and attorneys ethics hearings: 50 percent attorney and-or judges with 50 percent citizens (as opposed to attorneys and-or judges reviewing ethical behavior of fellow attorneys and-or judges).
49. Tort law reform to better assist the People’s needs and health and promotion of pro se leniency rules and a direct and prompt pro se oral access to the Courts for rapid resolution of the case, as was done in the ancient Greek system and obligation for judges to motivate (give reasons) all of their orders. (Too many cases are ended with either a "granted" or a "denied" orders, without any explanation).
50. Legislation in favor of more pro bono and the unbundling attorney services and legislation for all judges to take internationally recognized human rights law courses, civic education and personal and fundamental freedoms seminars.
51. The drafting of a “ public funding of all electoral positions” bill. The prohibition for judges to hear a case whose party has financed that judge's electoral campaign.
52. A plan to reduce Congress’ delegation of legislative responsibilities to independent commissions and agencies and the reinvigorate the governmental balance of power doctrine.
53. Public funds so that all Washingtonians could have a computer system for those who need one, but can't afford one, in exchange of some public service work. This computer is to hooked up to the internet so that the Government could get the People’s regular feedback on the policies I would propose and on the laws the State Legislature would enact. Likewise for the People to be able to contact the Governor's Office whenever. There must be a service put in place for this. Governmental transparency also includes a two-way inter-acting exchange structure.
