On Wednesday, November 5, 2008, the polls closed for the second day in a row. Once again, record numbers of voters turned out for this referendum, which would dramatically alter the way the United States government functioned. Voters had spoken: the new United States government would be run by a trio of three "Presidents", all of whom would have equal standing and authority in the eyes of the law. There would remain the Executive branch, the Judicial branch, and the Legislative branch of government; the curious difference would be that three men would serve as President of the United States of America. "It is appropriate that we divide the workload of a President into three equal, but diversified, segments," said John McCain. "This is how the people want the country to be run; that's the way it shall be," said Colin Powell. "I look forward to serving as part of this triumvirate in the best interests of America," said Barack Obama. Duties would be divided among the three newly-elected Presidents, with Congress answering to these joint Commanders-In-Chief. It was, perhaps, the most histrionic event ever to be introduced within the American form of government. Newly-elected lawmakers would now be required to "legalize" this dramaturgic legislation. It would require an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The populace was overjoyed by this development. It was truly a "think-outside-the-box" kind of process, reminiscent of the free-thinking of America's founding fathers who had once officially proposed that "all men are created equal". Never before had anything quite so transcendent ever been introduced to the American body politic. Had there been any remains of a Republican or Democratic political party, leaders of those outdated, archaic, wilted and corruptive bodies would have been appalled. But there was no one left to object to the exciting new direction in which the U.S.A. was moving. The monopolistic political drones had outlived their usefulness. Most of America's most powerful "Republicrats" were dead and buried - or, in some instances, their flesh left rotting under massive mountains of debris leftover from the January 17 cellphone bombings, executed by O.U.T.R.A.G.E.
Of the twenty-five resolutions placed on the ballot, all were voted in; as referendums now approved by voters, it would be up to the new U.S. Congress to pass all such legislation making those resolutions the "law of the land".
Now the business at hand began in earnest: with three new "co-Presidents" elected and ready to take an oath of office; with 535 newly-elected members of Congress sworn to uphold the will of the people; and with new judges elected who pledged to bring integrity back to the bench, Americans could come together in a way unknown to most generations alive at this proud and imaginative moment in U.S. history. The 'Rebellion of '08' had successfully torn asunder those walls that separated the people from their government. Now there would be no "upper crust" elitist society of barons who manipulated government leaders from behind-the-scenes. The 'inner circle" of the top 1% of the nation's wealthiest and most powerful people was virtually destroyed. America was starting all over again, from the beginning - consumed with a fresh passion of purpose and pursuance. 'We the People...' was now much more than just a patriotic jargon pulled out when it served a political purpose. Democracy was in total control. Those elected to pubic office would be beholden to "the people" and the common good - never again to be the exclusive realm of the special interests or individual favoritisms.
On the remote island of St. Kitts, a hearty cheer went up in front of the television cameras as O.U.T.R.A.G.E. volunteers raised hands in victory and declared, "Long live the new America!"
Now the work began in earnest.....
