The Glorious Manifesto of the United States of Manning

The Glorious Manifesto of the

United States of Manning

A manifesto is a public declaration of intentions, objectives and motives. In this manifesto, one will find the guidelines for a newly created nation. This is, of course, the United States of Manning. Thanks to the influences of the Communist Manifesto, people will be the focus and the main power in the new government. Thanks to influences from The Declaration of Independence, a new system of government will be established. Strict guidelines will be set for politicians. Law enforcement will be more manageable and more effective. The problem of unemployment and poverty will be addressed in an appropriate manner. Last, but not least, guidelines will be set up to address the issue of immigration. This is essentially a template for government. It is open to interpretation and revisal; however, nothing may be added which is contradictory to the already established principles. It is the belief of the writers and of the people that this manifesto will stand as a strong symbol of our unity and our power as a people.

First, let me start by saying that the government is a corrupt organization as well as a major influencing factor. It is my sincerest belief that if people played a more vital role in major politics then they would cease to be as corrupt. This is not to say that all politicians are bad people. It means that the government as a whole has become a corrupting influence that may turn once good people into corrupt mad men and women on a devious power trip.

How can this be remedied? The simple answer would be to eliminate government altogether. However, this would be a step toward the devastation of the nation. Simply stated, make the people a vital part of the national government. For example, do away with the Electoral College. By doing so, the need for gerrymandering will be eliminated as well. Neither of these implements is good for the general population. By doing this, all votes are counted equally. Therefore, elected officials are fairly elected.

The head of the government will not be a single person. It will be a parliamentary-like body. They will vote on topics of interest. If these topics pose an immediate impact on the citizens, then they will have the chance to vote on it as well. No longer will the government be the supreme law-making body. The people will have the power.

Next is the issue of the impeachment of a national official. This will work much the same way as it does on a state level. If a member of the national congress commits a crime or violation of this manifesto, the people have the right to vote him out of office.

By limiting the power of a single person, their ability to corrupt the government lessens greatly. This is a far better system of checks and balances than, say, the American Government has.

Now we go on to the topic of law enforcement for the general population. Police will be one single body. Jurisdiction lines will be abolished within states. This way, technicalities with which the supposed offender can get off will be lessened to a degree. Lethal enforcement will be strictly abolished. In fact, new gun laws will essentially ban the trafficking of any and all non-sporting guns. In the case that a violent crime does break out, special task teams, with highly specialized training, will be dispatched to take down or eliminate the threat. This would only be a last resort effort.

Poverty is a problem in any large country. This is why extra emphasis will be place on education. The abandonment of an education will be viewed as one of the countries highest crimes. The law will be as follows: At the minimum a high school education is mandatory. After that, people are free to do what they please, as long as it is productive. The only valid reason for unemployment will be that of injury of chronic

sickness.

Those who fail to complete their mandatory education will be faced with a prison sentence in which the remainder of their education will be completed. As far as higher education goes, there will be a cap on the tuition charges of universities and technical schools. This will increase the number of college attendees in the nation.

Immigration and emigration will be open, providing that all those immigrating into the country have prospective job offers and at least some secondary education. This will eliminate the problem of overcrowding. Unless someone has a definite job, their request for a Visa will be denied. Therefore, the development of slums and ghettos will not be an issue.

Hopefully, with Manning leading the way, change and social reform will soon follow. This is not just reform for the people of Manning, but hopefully for the world as a whole. They will have no choice but to acknowledge the fact that the people of Manning are happier because they have trust in their government as well as hope for the future.
