STOPPING CORRUPTION OF GOVERNMENT — EASIER THAN IMAGINED
USING READING & MATH TO STOP POLITICAL CORRUPTION seems an odd thought.
So far, from the page What are Governments, we see how governments are corporations and how The Declaration and The US Constitution respectively represent the Corporate Founding Charter and Corporate By-Laws. Each Charter has a specific purpose.
The Declaration and The Constitution become reading and math story problems to Solve for Our Vote–Count, as well as find solutions to end political corruption.
The Declaration is Reading Comprehension with respect to...
The Declaration is Mathematics as it pertains to counting our votes.
Both the reading and the math requires Elementary Research to figure out what many of the words meant to the generation at the time the documents were first signed; especially touching our vote system. We do not concern ourselves with the practice at that time, but with the planned design, as written into the Charter contracts.
The reason we are not concerned with their practices in the 1700's and 1800's has to do with this warning within The Declaration. A warning that the signers and those generations have not yet learned.
The Warning: "...all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."
Those in government, and many citizens were more familiar with the evils of their practice, than they were with the unknowns of the design they contracted. Unfortunately, they continued the evils of their practices and ignored the righting of a people by working the design.

The Declaration is Reading Comprehension with respect to...
- ...what kinds of power we may of right grant to our governments.
- ...what powers we must never allow our governments to exercise.
- ...warning signs of corruption.
- ...our nation's pledge to each other.
- ...our nation's total foreign policy (war / peace, and trade).
- ...limitations on representative's power.
- ...our rights and duty when our government officers violate our Constitutional By-Laws.
- ...how our votes are supposed to be counted.
- ...how to recognize when any person or government act must be stopped and / or removed; and more.

PHRASEOLOGY
The way a phrase is worded, tells the reader a lot:
The way a phrase is worded tells the reader a lot. This phrase from The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, states: "Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed" — This is the consent of the governed phrase, which could have been written either of the following two ways, which are often used to describe our present-practiced vote-counting system as either a plurality or first past the post:
- Mostly, by the words used
- Others, by what is not written
- Then, by the definitions of the words used as defined at the time used.

- ...Or... Governments get their just powers by simply getting one more registered voter's consenting vote than the next closest opposition. This is a simple plurality.
Some enlightening definitions from 1756:

2. A catalogue or list of persons ; a register of heads. Vertical Divider

To POLL.
2nd 4.To take a list or register of persons. 2nd 5. To enter one's name in a list or register. 2nd 6. To insert into a number as a voter. Vertical Divider

CONSENT.
1. The act of yielding or consenting. 2. Concord ; agreement ; accord. 4. Tendency to one point. Vertical Divider
To FORBEAR. v. n.
1. To cease from any thing ; to intermit. ------ To FORBEAR. v. a. 1. To decline ; to omit voluntarily. Vertical Divider

To OMIT.
2. To neglect to practice. Vertical Divider

To ABSTAIN.
To forbear, to deny one's self any gratification. Vertical Divider
The definitions prove the following teaching to be false...
Not submitting a ballot is not the same as not voting, but it is the same as not-consenting, which is a vote. In order for a person to abstain, they must remove themselves from the register of voters. Until this happens, in accord with the Charter's terms, that person has simply not consented to any thing on the ballot if they have not submitted a ballot to the polling station. Non-consent is a vote. Vertical Divider

Each Explained In Reverse Order
PLURALITY. With a simple plurality; that of just one more vote than the closest competition; this is the easiest method by which to allow corruption to enter government. It certainly does not encourage the voters be informed at all, let alone well–informed.
The Plurality definitions also work with the two other, more restrictive, vote–count methods, where each, next-listed vote-counting system requires accounting for larger portions of the total body of registered voters.
FIRST PAST THE POST. First Past The Post is a big step toward eliminating government corruption; simply by making it more difficult to get into office.
As with plurality, this also does not encourage the voters be well–informed; simply because it requires no minimum quorum. This "post" also is not set prior to the race. Not knowing the defined finish line before the race starts — questions the legitimacy of the race.
The Post definitions also work with the two other, vote–count methods, but the setting of the post differs with each method.
CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED. At present, the votes of those registered as voters, who do not go to the polls (specifically, not submitting any form of ballot), are counted as abstaining. Public opinion has programmed us to assume that the registered voter who does not submit a ballot is being lazy, apathetic, or unpatriotic.
We see that with the 1756 definitions above, the registered voter cannot Abstain, Forebear, Cease, or Neglect to vote; until they remove their name from the registry of voters. A person exercises their right to not vote, by simply not registering as a voter or in removing their name from the register of voters.
With regards to voting, once a person Registers, they register as a voter. They do not register to vote.
The voter registry does not serve the same purpose as the voter check-in list. The check list makes certain no registered voter gets or returns more than one ballot. Ballots are necessary for a registered voter to Consent To some thing or some one on the ballot. Thus, the importance concerning the exact wording The Declaration's phrase, consent of the governed.
Once a person registers as a voter, they only have two options for every balloted item (candidate or otherwise); Consent — or Non–Consent.
Whether intended or not, by the voter; not submitting a ballot is Not the same as not voting. It is the same as Not Consenting. Non Consent is a valid vote, in accord with the contract's terms and the definitions detailed earlier.

HOW DOES ALL THIS WORK? First a word from George Carlin.

I can forgive George for his incorrect phrasing about not voting, by not submitting a ballot. After all, that is what is taught in all those educational places he mentions.
However, he does get the correct concept of not consenting to those who get sworn in. A well-informed public is the best and realizes that for which they hope to attain. Clean Honest Government. |
Context for Consent of the Governed
From the top of the second paragraph of The unanimous Declaration, it states:
"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness — That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
First of all, we must recognize one fact about the times around 1776. With the political abuses from The Crown, the idea with the new government would be to make it as difficult and as painful for government officers to repeat those political abuses.
The primary purpose for The unanimous Declaration is the security of the governed peoples' rights. The best way to do this is to reduce the ease by which corruption enters our government; while also increasing the ease by which to remove the corruption that does enter.
With this idea in mind, consider the definitions for Consent and To Consent (above) when reading the actual words written in the still-enforceable contract of The unanimous Declaration: "Governments[...] derive their just powers from the consent of the governed."
By definition; Consent of the governed requires that the majority of the total known body of registered voters actively grant their consent — or whatever or whomever is on the ballot must fail for lack of consent.
The CONSENT definitions; Tendency to one point; or To be of the same mind; tells an entirely contrary story than the modern vote–count practice.
It is the duty of the people who want a balloted item or candidate to pass to convince the majority of the total body of registered voters that it is important for that voter to get a consenting vote to the polling station on time.
When 60% or more of all registered as voters do not check in at the polls to consent to any item or any candidate — we see a tendency to one point. The majority, being of the same mind, for whatever their reason, did not consent to anything or anyone on the ballot.
They cannot all be that lazy. They cannot all be that apathetic. They cannot all be that unpatriotic.
However, when we see those who do get sworn into office and that which is enforced against us; we do see a trend within government, which is against the charters and against the peoples' vote, where most of it should not be sworn in or enforced.
Thus, the majority of the Total Number of registered voters do have a pretty good handle on getting and keeping Clean Honest Government. WE must enforce the power of their vote-count.
When so few people can be convinced that a balloted item or person is worthy enough to warrant using their time and energy going to the polls to consent — the balloted items all must fail for lack of consent.

The Importance of the Voter Registration
and Voter Check–In/Out LISTS
The Voter Registration and The Voter Check–In or Check Out Lists are the most important elements for getting Clean Honest Government and to Old Math with respect to calculating whether or not an item or candidate on the ballot passes with sufficient consent or fails for lack of consent.
Absolutely every Registered Voter, does in fact vote every time a ballot goes out in their district. We know this because The Declaration states that government gets its honorable power from "the CONSENT of the governed". This creates a default non–consent voter position; sort of like an automatic none of the above that you do not have to actually mark.
How does this work

This creates a default non–consent voter position; sort of like an automatic none of the above that you do not have to actually mark.
How does this work
- Nearly every political jurisdiction in these united States of America has a known number of registered voters.
- In order to get the consent from that known body, the balloted item must be the first one past a specific post or marker. That marker is, at the very least, 50% of the total number of registered voters.
- Specifically, the balloted item or candidate that first gets 50%+1 of the total number of registered voters to consent — wins.
- Whatever or whomever is on the ballot that does not get that 50%+1 consenting votes — must fail for lack of consent.
- This also qualifies as PLURALITY's definition number 4. "The greater number ; the majority." [emphasis added]
THE FIRING — RECALL ELECTION
The vast majority of registered voters — regardless of personal differences and dislikes for one another — Did NOT and Do NOT consent to most of the politicians who are unlawfully and unethically sworn into office.
"Vote Them Out" = Fire Them = RECALL Elections ..... Not General Elections.
Waiting for the next General Election rewards politicians whose term ENDS AUTOMATICALLY then anyhow. That is the purpose for the General Election — fill the seat that is about to empty.
RECALL Elections are the only way for the people to FIRE corrupt politicians and to STOP their damage.
It's long past due for us to FIRE most all of our government officials that we did not even elect in the first place.

Consent / Non-Consent Vote-Count Benefits
• It forces the people of all political divides (such as party, religion, money, sex, age, race, etc.) to work together to find a candidate common-enough and trusted-enough by the majority of the total number of registered voters to attain their consent. Thus requiring UNITY among the people — no matter what the previous political divide. This unity — governments fear most.
• It saves lots of vote-counting time. If less than 50% of the total number of registered voters check in at the polling stations for a ballot — we know that everything and everyone on the ballots automatically failed for lack of consent.
• It protects the rights of those who choose to not participate in the voting, by not criminalizing or demonizing them if they do not register as a voter.
• People who do not want to consent to any thing or any one on the ballot need not even submit a ballot, which saves them time from standing in line.
• People who want to consent to some thing or some one on the ballot need not stand in line behind non-consenting voters, which saves them time at the polls as well.
• This demonstrates to all — that the people truly control our government, for the first time in our nation's history.
• It automatically eliminates most of the corruption in government because those elected will have earned the trust of the majority of voters — knowing that the majority of voters can remove them from office before the end of their term.
• It eliminates the mob–rule and special-interest voting, which at present allows super–small voting populations to run / ruin and control government.
• Counting votes in this manner also encourages more people, registered as voters, to submit a ballot — if they want some item or some candidate to pass. They will know that if they do not get a consenting ballot to the polls, their vote automatically counts against everything and everyone on the ballot — Because they did not consent.
• The voter registration gets 100% purged more frequently (at the very least once every 3 years, but preferably every year), so as to remove all the names; especially...
Clean Honest Government truly resides in an honest vote–count in accord with the terms of The unanimous Declaration. — Even today it remains a binding contract among us, if ever we decide to enforce its terms that we have agreed to, simply by declaring that we are united States Americans, and celebrating and renewing it every 4th of July; as well as taking part in the election process.
The unanimous Declaration and 1756 dictionaries are the governed people's Proof of Ownership: The Owner's Manual on How to Get & Keep — Clean Honest Government. We must set right nearly two–hundred and fifty years of incorrect information.
This work is the definitive global civics textbook and instruction manual on how the governed people globally are supposed to control their respective government.

- those who moved out of the district

- those who lost interest in voting
- pet names
- and others not qualified to vote in that political jurisdiction;
- as well as… those who choose to not participate in voting; as forced actions rarely produce quality outcome.
- It eliminates the false “need” to vote for the Lesser of Evils to feel "patriotic".
