The foundation of Revolution 2.0 contains the most important human rights
movement of our time. The core and purpose of the movement is based on the
addition of a second bill of rights. Here are the main points of the second bill
of rights that President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke of in a 1944 speech.
Unfortunately, our present form of government cannot support the second bill of
rights. It would bankrupt us overnight. The second bill of rights can easily
be supported with a modern government and today's technology. So we use an enhanced
version of the second bill of rights as a baseline to set the principals and
building blocks for building a new and better government that truly serves the
interests, expectations and well being of the American people.
- The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms
or mines of the nation.
- The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation.
- The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will
give him and his family a decent living.
- The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of
freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad.
- The right of every family to a decent home.
- The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good
health.
- The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness,
accident, and unemployment.
- The right to be freely retrained when the system can no longer provide work in your given field.
- The right to retain all pay and benefits when work is no longer available; due
to advancements in technology or any other reason.
- The right to online privacy and protection under a Digital Bill of Rights.
- And finally, the right to a good education.
Feel free to make suggestions that we need to add to the list. We can afford it.
Money is no longer a limitation.
We are the most advanced civilization that has ever lived. We don't have to live
as we did in the past. We can't afford that. We have a choice.
Ignorance is our
only limitation. Don't let anyone tell you what can't be done.
If your democracy is failing to
improve itself, then your democracy is in
decline…
D.T.
