2nd Bill of Rights
 
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.
