To: President Donald Trump, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate
The Peoples Good is the Highest Law
The people propose that congress should enact legislation that will cause all political lobbing groups to register with the federal government (this is done now) and disclose in an online and easy to understand and comprehensive format what the mission of that lobbying group is, what their entire budgets are, who contributed those monies, and what government representatives of any government agency received any benefit whatsoever from those lobby groups. These lobby groups and their contributors should bear the entire cost and consequence of of the misuse of this lobbying freedom and be accountable to the America people by fines and penalties up to the entire value of their businesses and organizations and any disbursements to their management during and after the lifetime of such lobbying group.
At the same time, the U.S. Congress and the Senate must adopt a golden rule that "The Peoples God is the Highest Law" and reform the ethics rules of the House and Senate so that this rule trumps all argument. It is clear that the representatives that allowed and promoted complex financial instruments to be unregulated were not following this rule. Further congress should vote to approve or deny all lobbying licenses based on this primary rule before any lobbying activity is allowed to occur. Finally, lobbying budgets must be capped based on reasonability with a full up-front, online disclosure of the result sought by the lobby and its supporters, every person or entity that is expected to benefit disproportionately in comparison to the American people or taxpayers at large.
We the people therfore petition the government to enact such measures as to make this rule, this code, supreme to all arguments regarding ethics and deportment of elected officials and to hold accountable, in full, any lobbying group and its contributors, on a pro-rata basis, that promoted legislation that resulted in the theft and diminishment of the economic wealth of the American people.

Why is this important?
One of the primary reasons for the recent financial crisis is that private financial institutions spent over $3 billion in lobbying costs (that were effectively bribes to our federal and state representatives) to make complex financial instruments unregulated that should have, by any measure, been regulated financial instruments.
Jefferson said that the people have two enemies; criminals and government; and we must tie down the second with the chains of the US Constitution lest it become a legalized version of the first.
The legalized bribery of our represenatives and theft of our government of the people must stop. A government of the people must be restored. The code of every representative of the people must be - The peoples good is the highest law.
