KUDOs to RFK Jr. who recently chose to name his political party, "The Human Party"! He appears to be on the money with what his campaign represents, and I yearn to learn more about his political stance and policies! Below I present to you a plan I devised several years ago (around 2019), whereas I've created, what I consider, a fool-proof way our country can be run to be harmony and peace into our nation, The party name I used to represent this plan is called, yes, you've guessed it, "The Human Party". I posted this story on Facebook when I first wrote it but was asked by a family member to remove it, because it may be too radical for many readers. It was on-line for less than an hour and I received 4 or 5 likes in that brief time. Please check it out....I'm only trying to save humanity....
HOW TO RUN A COUNTRY SUCESSFULLY –WITHOUT REALLY TRYING!
Created and written by Jack A. Ciaramella
Greetings and PEACE to all!
“Here is a Message of Hope for a Better Existence and for a Nation of Peace, and true democracy.
Dedicated to My Fellow Americans and to ALL of the Caring Humans around the Globe”
Just ahead, is what I’ve labelled, as a new and sensational ‘governmental breakthrough’! It’s a simple concept, and if followed out carefully and cooperatively, I believe it could very well draw peace and success to any nation. After thorough analyzation, I’ve detected no illegalities linked to my plan, and I trust the nature of this rather unique arrangement to be beneficial to ALL people-as it promotes ‘true equality’! A plan devised to help assure that any and all governmental activity and decision making will be conducted in fair and just ways. I like to think of my plan as one that will guide our nation's leaders to work together, despite their political party affiliation, and focus on the true priorities and concerns of our nation. It’s a plan to 'stabilize' governmental power, in an effective way, eliminate much animosity between parties, thus, freeing up the much-needed time to focus on the people. And I emphasize the word 'People", because, hey-that's us! It's kind of a way of giving the country back to its people-especially the hard-working class-the ones whose tax dollars pay for such a privilege! This plan, I believe, can be applied successfully, in almost any nation as well. My main desire of peace and equality in our great nation, is what inspired me to create this plan. I’m proud to be an American who loves and cares tremendously about this country!
Please know too, that I’m not here to point the finger, or play the ‘blame game’ with any particular party or politician(s)-but instead, I’m here to do just the opposite. I am here to help eliminate the animosity that exists between political parties and people in general, and to promote the true concept of ‘unity’, while spreading it throughout the land ALL individuals working for the government.
All law-abiding citizens deserve that much. Sounds like an impossible task-right? Well, read on my friends, and please keep an open-minded, optimistic attitude, and maybe you’ll see that this idea is not too farfetched after all...
While some may sneer at my plan or harbor doubts that it’ll really work, I truly believe, that with full cooperation, from all political parties, and citizens as well, this can be an 'earth-shattering' concept that can certainly lead our nation on the righteous path of peace and equality! We, as a nation, may provide an excellent example of the harmony that many other nations so desperately need in today’s world. Before you doubt the words you’re about to read, give it the consideration it may well deserve. I BELIEVE IT CAN TRULY WORK!
Let’s face it folks, our nation seems quite fractured right now-doesn’t it? In my lifetime I can’t recall this nation ever being as politically torn apart as it appears to be right now. Sadly, this is becoming a divided nation. It’s like a ‘Civil War’, but it’s not the North vs. the South, instead, it’s Democrats vs. Republicans! Even the media pathetically feeds into the animosity, violence, and anger that's been drawn into our lives. I’ve witnessed the chaos and rhetoric behavior increase tremendously for years now, and it's not getting any better. I fear that this negative behavior has created a metaphorical ‘grey cloud’, hovering over our entire nation, that we need to eliminate. Furthermore, it kills me knowing that this negativity is leaving a terrible impression on our youth. Please remember, that our children are the future leaders of our country! More than ever, we desperately need to set the proper examples and goals for them to follow.
Well, whatever one feels the cause(s) may be-whether it’s media hype, fake news, political figures, surf boards, or ‘whatever’, I for one, have had enough of all the rhetoric and I think it’s high time we started putting smiles back on our nation’s faces-especially on our hard-working, tax-paying citizens, our seniors and our children! I think it to be common sense that the majority of us would agree that a change for the better, and to reverse the negative attitude in society, will promote a more peaceful, harmonious lifestyle.
FROM BAD THINGS GOOD THINGS CAN COME ... Aggravated from it all, I started to wonder, what possible changes can occur that may draw a positive solution to all this negativity. Afterall, I am one who believes in the saying, “If you want change-be the change”. And so again, I thought, just what ‘good’ can be extracted from all this bitterness??? Well folks, the wheels in my brain started turning and then it hit me like a ton of bricks! I soon thought up such a simple solution and I wondered why no one else (or at least no one I know of) thought of this concept in the past. Nevertheless, here it is-fully laid out with no hidden clauses or tricks and totally pure and sincere in content and intentions….
THE “HUMAN PARTY” *
I propose that we create a new political party that I’ve christened as the “Human Party” *. One that is strictly neutral and will focus and recognize the basic needs of all citizens-rich or poor, or in-between for that matter. This party would take on issues, bills and any other political decision-making endeavors, emphasizing strongly on the FAIRNESS and WELFARE of all the law-abiding U.S. citizens concerned. Decisions, deriving from compromission, that both the Republican and the Democratic parties will whole-heartedly endorse. In essence, the Human Party will make every effort to assure that the two parties will work together-ALWAYS! And for my plan to work, the necessary cooperation (as I mentioned earlier) of all parties MUST occur! How do we assure that fair decisions will be made? Here’s the solution-simple, yet absolutely effective if commenced properly.
If elected president, the Human Party candidate will whole-heartedly vow to take on to his (or her) cabinet, both the Democratic and Republican candidates that ran on the ballot. They would be assigned or appointed as ‘Co-presidents’ to work, as a 'trinity', diligently and effectively in making ALL major and minor decisions. Each of the three will harbor equal power and voice, in all matters, and they will (hopefully) find little difficulty reaching neutral ground when compromising ‘together’. This applies also to the cabinet of experts all three will choose and approve of together in unison. The Human Party team will focus on concerns and issues facing our nation-the basic concerns that both Democrats and Republicans should have in common anyway. These include Education, Job Security, Homestead/Nationwide Security, Economy, Ecology, Health Care, Racial Violence/Crime and International Affairs. In working together, I believe the team can logically come to terms in finding best solutions possible-again, truly keeping in consideration, the welfare of our citizens. These important concerns and issues fall heavily on the shoulders of every Commander-in-Chief, regardless of party affiliation. Quite often his or her decisions in working to resolve these matters tend to fall one way or another, based mostly on the opinions or policies of that politician’s party, often causing anger or disappointment to much of our nation’s people who may follow the opposing (party) side. I trust that the anger and animosity occurring presently will subside immensely with our citizens securely knowing that their best interest is in mind, and fair decisions will be made. Now isn't that one big advantage behind this plan?
With equal power, the Co-presidents, together with the president, will come up with solid, fair resolutions, or at least solutions as fair as possible to all citizens concerned. I would trust each of the three will provide a sincere compromise to each issue they confront. The Human Party president will be held responsible and obligated to see to it that all matters or bills created or amended, are conducted in this fashion. Look how often ‘spite’ seemingly plays a role in Congress when bills are brought forth to pass. It appears that there’s a notorious pattern or practice occurring whereas, when a Democratic President sends forth a bill, all or most of the Republican representatives vote against it and vice versa as well, AND does it not happen more often as we draw nearer to a major election? More than likely, when this happens, we the people, suffer from the consequences or effects this lack of cooperation brings to the table. I’m speculating that, already, many beneficial bills were canned due to this relentless rhetorical process. This must end now! Our tax dollars pay these politician’s salaries and I for one, feel that they’re doing us dirty! It’s high time that we put an end to this ‘game of spite’ once and for all!
With our Human Party president working in unison with his co-presidents, no longer would a bill be deemed Republican or Democratic in the eyes of Congress, thus forcing them to analyze it strictly based on what it represents. If our President, co-presidents and Congress fully cooperate for the good of our people-ALL PEOPLE, then there is no doubt that much improvement will rapidly develop throughout our nation. I consider this to be yet, another huge advantage to having Co-Presidents, wouldn’t you?
SALARIES /LIVING CONDITIONS FOR THE “HUMAN PARTY” TEAM
Well, it seems comically amusing to state that the most logical arrangement for the three is that the Democratic Co-President will occupy the ‘left’ wing while the Republican Co-President rooms on the ‘right’ side. Smack dab in the middle is your Human Party President. Going a step further, perhaps the Oval Office can be replaced with a 'Triangle' Office… but all kidding aside, living arrangements can be of a flexible nature as long as all three are in convenient locations, in touch with the White House. The Human Party Vice-President, and the other Parties’ VPs (should the Co-Presidents decide to keep them actively part of the team) will reside accordingly as well. My thought about salary leaves me to believe that all three will humbly regard the money as secondary to the important role they’ll be playing. Each, accepting about a third of
the average salary a president receives should then suffice. Keeping elaborate, expensive vacations to a reasonable minimum couldn’t hurt. Bear in mind, too, boosting security coverage for all three and their families can be costly. Okay, so that seems to be one disadvantage to having Co-Presidents, however, if the system truly works, it would be well worth it!
CAMPAIGNING FOR THE “HUMAN PARTY”
Another logical and humble way for our Human Party candidate to sincerely express his/her concern as for the welfare of our country being their first and foremost priority, they may consider running their campaign primarily by internet and the media. Modern technology has come a long way-so let’s take advantage of that! Running a ‘Cyber Campaign’ can prove to be very cost effective as well as instrumental in conducting a presidential campaign. The internet can (and should) be the future wave of nationwide campaigning. You can reach millions of people in seconds right at your fingertips! I’m guessing that news like this ‘Human Party’ will spread like wildfire on the internet! Whether the general public finds this plan to be good or bad or right or wrong, I sense it’ll have people thinking-it just may create a major impact across our nation, who knows??? Remember, too, that this is strictly a neutral arrangement with little overhead required. Furthermore, there would be no necessity to rely on donations from large, ‘influential’ industries, corporations or other sources seeking ‘favors’ from their endorsed candidates. If indeed large donations do roll in by those types just mentioned, I’d like to believe it’s sincerely for the cause with no ulterior motives attached.
TYPE OF CANDIDATE FIT AS A MEMBER OF THE “HUMAN ARTY”
Based on what I’ve presented so far, and as creator of this new party, it would be an honor and privilege for me to help select our first Human Party candidate. The candidate’s qualifications… He or she would have to be 100% politically neutral (or as neutral as possible) to assure that they don’t favor one side or the other in decision making. They must be humble (but not a pushover) and ready to defend our country until death, and they must be a team player-fair, just, logical, honest and ready to listen intensely to both co-presidents and ALWAYS keeping the best intentions in mind for all people concerned.
The concept behind the Human Party (two opposing parties working together) actually came about during the 1700s and while the Whig Party existed. As you probably know, history tells us that when someone was elected president, the opponent would then become Vice President. As far as I know, this worked back then, and I believe it can work today if all parties cooperate. Also, I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but I read somewhere online that George Washington warned the public, either during a farewell speech or while still in office, to avoid creating opposing parties in congress. He claimed that by doing that, it will dangerously divide our country causing much havoc. Looking around today, perhaps that statement is not too farfetched after all!
WHO MIGHT DISLIKE THE “HUMAN PARTY”?
For one, the news media would probably not appreciate a Human Party. With neutralized party-making decisions conducted, that’ll limit them from scrutinizing the government and promoting fake news-they’ll have to tell the truth-how boring can that be. Ratings may drop-that’s very sad indeed. Also, citizens or politicians who harbor skeptical or negative feelings may not believe in this arrangement. Let’s face it folks, there will always be pessimistic people who see doom and gloom no matter what’s presented to them. Among our masses, we even have those who shun equality, despise peace and promote violence and hatred which is poison-ing our nation. These disrespectful, hateful individuals, I’d think, would love nothing more than to see this Human Party never get off its feet-or fail tremendously. Those would be the kind of people I’d want to disappoint the most. Speaking of disappointment, nothing would disappoint me more than discovering that either the Democratic or Republican party candidate refuses to participate as a co-president. That would indicate to me that they are probably in it for the power or prestige and care little about our nation-maybe they’re too left wing or too right wing to conform to compromise. They’re not team players. I’d say they’re not humble enough, perhaps too arrogant, and too stubborn in judging things with an open mind. No doubt that it would be better if that type of candidate doesn’t participate. We could possibly call upon the Democratic or Republican Party to provide us with a leader specifically qualified to act as a co-president. Done deal!
I truly want to believe that there are still enough of us caring human beings out there who are proud Americans, wanting major improvements, peace, equality and better living conditions for all! I further want to believe that those same folks would consider the Human Party, a potentially excellent plan. Folks, we may never know if it’ll really work unless we put it to the test. That’s why I personally challenge our political parties to promote Human Party leadership, consider the value and advantages in working together as a team, and by setting an example of unity, respect, peace and equality that us Americans may embellish always! Any questions, suggestions, or thoughts are welcome. Thank you for reading this message of hope. Peace to all!
* Initially I considered naming this new party the ‘Unity Party’ or ‘Union Party’, however through the suggestion of a dear friend and fellow Lion, Barbara Gavin, the name ‘Human Party’ was born. I always give credit where credit is due! Thanks Barbara!
