The more I've thought about that idea over the years, the clearer it has become to me that the indispensable first step toward restoring our freedom in this country, and, at the same time, the ultimate goal of any organization advocating freedom, should be a constitutional amendment forbidding any new legislation for at least that hundred years.
Let's just call it "THE MORATORIUM".
(For some time, now, I've intended to write a series of stories about the period in history following ratification of this amendment. The first of these stories,

www.BigHeadPress.com.)
At minimum, such an amendment would provide that, from the date of its passage forward, for a full century, no new legislation may be passed at any level of government—be it federal, state, county, municipal, or any other level—especially including rulings by the court system that, in effect, constitute new law, and treaties of any kind.
Nor may any new regulations be promulgated by any agency of the government.
The only exceptions would be bills of repeal, initiated referenda getting rid of old laws, rulings that declare existing legislation to be null and void, and the official disbandment, dissolution, or abolition of various arms, wings, legs, or other appendages of the government.
Perhaps I should have said, "amputation".
And because nothing political occurs in a vacuum and the opponents of this concept would be inclined to see the handwriting on the wall and attempt to make the most of whatever time they believed they had left, the amendment would automatically repeal any and all legislation rammed through in the final year (or two, or five, or ten) before its ratification.
Naturally, there would be draconian penalties for any violation of this new "highest law of the land". For a long while now, I've been interested in seeing the ancient federal prison on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay fully rejuvenated and dedicated exclusively to the incarceration of government lawbreakers. I'm more than confident that tourists on excursion cruises (especially those individuals who had never "benefited" from indoctrination by the public school system) would pay a reasonable amount for small packages of meat with which to keep the bay's famous sharks interested in hanging around the prison island.
