Beyond The Ballot Box

The Framers created a form of government they labelled a "republic." This author calls it a "republic monarchy" because the people who own the nation were given zero power to change anything in government. All they can do is vote for or against the elite monarchs who run it. This book reviews how we got there, the turmoil that has resulted, and what is recommended be done to achieve government excellence. Self-government by The People is advocated, with the strategy of achieving government decision-making excellence under their control. Getting there requires that The People develop true self governance and acquire control over the Constitution.

"The government conceived by the Framers, abused over two centuries of political activity and badly degraded by entropy, has regressed to a state of hopeless dysfunctionality. Improvement attempts by the voters using messiah-type presidents have been unsuccessful, although current President Trump is violently shaking the government tree. The debt and interest load burdening our nation is very threatening.

Hillsdale analyzes that, isolates the key issues, and proposes routes for correction. It will be a huge undertaking covering many years, and is the responsibility of The People who own the nation."
