Drafting New Constitution [View all]
Not taking initiative in this context, as I'm not US citizen, but presenting an idea for potential grabbers. I've actually taken such idea in my own country years ago, it didn't fly then, but perhaps time is now more ripe to offer this idea for discussion, who knows?
Applied to US, the process might go thus, in most simplified form:
1) Repeal to Declaration of Independence
2) Call General Assembly to discuss and draft new constitution
2.n)...
2.nn)...
2.nnn)...
3) If and when there is a document with enough consensus backing it, organize referendum.
This way most "cant-do" objections referring to current constitution and how difficult it is to amend or change can be bypassed, by genuinely democratic grass roots horizontal process. Just to remind us of our individual and collective power, any DUer can take the initiative in this GA of Occupy Underground. And of course the idea and initiative would need to get out in the open free of any and all partisan restrictions.
