In reply to the discussion: It's time to rewrite the 2nd Amendment- How would YOU rewrite it? [View all]jmowreader
(53,210 posts)When the Founders wrote the line about being secure in your "papers and personal effects," it's reasonably clear, to me at least, they were trying to guarantee a degree of privacy. The lack of that actual word has caused untold grief, so...
"As the right to security in one's papers and personal effects is vital to a free society, privacy in one's personal affairs shall not be abridged."
While we're here, let's deal with church-state separation: "The state may not attempt to control or influence any recognized religious organization in any way, to include levying of federal income tax on the organization or pay received from the organization by its ministers. Recognized religious organizations may not attempt to control or influence the State in any way, to include making political contributions either directly or through a third-party political group or lobbying for or against legislative actions."
And as long as we are at it: "No corporation not expressly formed as a political party or a political action committee may participate in the political process in any fashion to include donating money to politicians or political corporations or forming a political corporation as a subsidiary corporation, and no corporation formed as a political party or political action committee may earn any money through any method other than political contributions only from citizens of the United States or from the manufacture and/or sale of articles to be used in political campaigns or articles used by citizens to display membership in or affinity toward the group."
