The Bill of RESPONSIBILITY

Resolved, that, as the House and Senate are finding ways to become increasingly disagreeable to WE, THE PEOPLE, of the UNITED STATES, and as related offices, subcommittees and PACS, have become disgustingly prioritized above the clearly peeved constituency, in lieu of media bravado and celebrity endorsement, the following bill of responsibility is humbly submitted:

Article 1: the responsibility of citizens who have reached the age of majority shall cast her/his vote for each public office in his/her district, as well as for each  bill, motion, initiative, referendum, proposition, etc. The aforementioned citizens must do so after having invested themselves in knowing the platforms upon which each candidate for office stands, and the positive and negative repercussions of each suggested legislation being considered by public vote.

Article 2: the responsibility of voting citizens to express themselves by any means (written, verbal, and nonverbal) and for any reason (information, entertainment, or persuasion) will be exercised while respecting other citizens' responsibility to engage in the same.

Article 3: the responsibility of voting citizens to protect themselves and those in their care (citizens who have not reached the age of majority and age appropriate pre-citizens who are pursuing means by which to become voting citizens) from all enemies, foreign and domestic shall not be infringed.

Article 4: the responsibility of voting citizens (and those in their care) to maintain reasonable security in their persons, homes, and belongings shall not be subject to unreasonable searches and seizures without probable cause or consent.

Article 5: the responsibility of citizens (including those who have not reached the age of majority and age appropriate pre-citizens) to respectfully upkeep their rights to life, liberty, and property in a manner suited to prevent the aforementioned rights to be revoked by due process of law.

Article 6: the responsibility of citizens (including those who have not reached the age of majority and age appropriate pre-citizens) to be respectful upon being accused of a criminal activity, and to willfully maintain dignity through due process of law as prescribed by existing legislation.

Article 7: the responsibility of citizens (and those in their care) to behave and speak rationally and truthfully in matters of both common and criminal law shall be exercised in order to accommodate expeditious, public trials by impartial jury.

Article 8: the responsibility of the full constituency to provide equitable correction or compensation for crimes and damages for which any citizen (including those who have not reached the age of majority and age appropriate pre-citizens) has been provided a just verdict.

Article 9: in concert with the U.S. Constitution, and existing  ammendments thereto, the responsibility of each citizen (including those who have not reached the age of majority and age appropriate pre-citizens) to mindfully construct personal boundaries which neither deny or disparage the personal boundaries of others.

Article 10: the responsibilities not specifically outlined herein are to be presumed as either equal to or more appropriately exercised obligations for which each citizen is granted rights.

Signed and sworn to by any who has a mind to keep our democratic process in order...
