Responsible Human Independence Day 2020 COVID19 POSTPONED

Our 7^th annual commemoration of the 1788 ratification of the draft U.S. Constitution and its U.S. Preamble is postponed because corona virus reports recently increased. We will reschedule when possible.

Recent discoveries position us to promote the U.S. Preamble’s proposition for practice by government officials as civic citizens; in other words, to hold local, state, and federal officials accountable to the U.S. Preamble rather than tolerate British-American precedent.

This year’s title is “Responsible Human Independence Day,” and we’d like this to become a national holiday of more domestic interest than the 4^th of July’s National Independence Day.

Key discoveries, controversial on introduction yet well-grounded in historical events, include:

1.      In the preamble’s dependent-predicate object “to ourselves and our Posterity,” our generation is the “ourselves” to coming generations. It’s in the citizen’s self-interest and descendant-responsibility to discover and practice his or her civic, civil, and legal preamble-interpretation. The preamble leaves religious/spiritual pursuits to privacy.

2.      The word “blessings” expresses advantages, responsibilities, acceptance, and affirmation of being a human citizen. Arbitrarily rejecting the rule of law denies human-citizenship.

3.      The word “independence” offers civic clarity whereas “liberty” is often misappropriated as “license.” The phrase “responsible human independence” seems more coherent than “responsible human liberty.” Among a crowd that is harming property or people for egocentric liberty/rights, the civic citizen has the psychological independence to leave. “License to leave” implies permission from the harmful group.

4.      None of the phrases in the U.S. Preamble specify standards, implying that posterity’s posterity discovers ultimate reforms so that We the People of the United States, led by Civic Citizens of the United States, continually approaches statutory justice. Civic Citizens of the United States does not know how well its society can serve citizens under posterity’s future excellence.

5.      The U.S. Preamble proposes discipline-and-purpose of by and for living citizens ending unjust colonial British-American traditions. It accepts the global independence won in 1781 and ratified in 1784 to 13 free and independent states. Furthermore, it offers U.S. citizens opportunity to develop equity under statutory justice rather than preserve English-traditional power over U.S. citizens.

6.      “The people,” “self-rule” and other “Western” fallacies preserve a 17^th-18^th century European “us versus them” attitude; or “the people versus government.” Reform to Civic Citizens of the United States can come from fellow citizens who accept being human with intent to develop integrity rather than to tolerate injustice.

7.      The 55 framers of the 1787 U.S. Constitution were not “founding fathers” or in any way an extension of the bloody revolutions for liberty of the period 1688 in England to 1774 in colonial British-America to 1789 in France. Instead, the framers designed and specified a system of domestic government under discipline by current families so as to secure independence in perpetuity. Some representatives were dissidents to the Constitution: only 39 framers were signers, leaving 16 dissidents. So far, Congress has held U.S.-potential hostage to British-American tradition.

8.      Revising the subject to "Civic Citizens of the United States" clarifies that the U.S. is not a utopia with no need to develop statutory justice. It seems there will always be people who think infidelity is sufficiently rewarding to their persons.

9.      The capitalization of “Posterity” instructs me that the Committee of Style accepted that, in my interpretation, parents cannot imagine the actual-realities their children, the next generation, will face and therefore parents and the Civic Citizens of the United States are prudent to encourage and coach the children unto self-discipline for integrity rather than instruct them in false human constructs.

These and prior discoveries from the past six years are the basis of my June 2020 interpretation of the U.S. Preamble’s proposition:  Civic Citizens of the United States continually develop and practice 5 domestic disciplines---integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity---in order to encourage responsible human independence to living citizens.* See a March 2020 interpretation above.

We look forward to discussing your interpretations of the U.S. Preamble so I may improve my civic, civil, and legal way of living so as to aid an achievable better future in the USA.

We hope you attend the world’s first Responsible Human Independence Day and that as a consequence of your aid the 2021 event will be celebrated by EBR Parish and beyond. We hope the intentions and practice of the U.S. Preamble’s proposition accelerates in a matter of months to at least 2/3 of members of every responsible association in the U.S., including the Supreme Court.

*On 6/6/2020, thinking there would be no further discoveries, I perceived the clarity of “Civic Citizens of the United States” instead of “We the People of the United States.” Also, it clarifies that despite fellow citizens developing statutory justice, a utopia without the rule of law is not expected.

Yet, as always, I preserve the original words so as to accept each citizen’s personal interpretation by which to order civic, civil, and legal living while preserving religious/spiritual privacy.
