But what about the constitution?

"Face it, these ideas are great, but it'd be impossible to get this through Congress". 

"How are you going to amend the constitution to make this possible"?

"Good luck convincing the politicians to go along with this one". 

Do you ever feel like politicians are some of the biggest obstacles to progress? You aren't alone. They allow their childish bickering to get in the way of policies that make life better for the rest of us, while slavishly follow the party line for fear of rejection. Why do we allow these people to control our lives in the first place? When your vote doesn't matter, who's really in control?

How will The Global Assembly succeed with all of it's radical proposals? How will we convince those in power to give it up?

We won't. We aren't going through them. The Global Assembly is not a political party that seeks to change a few laws then call it a day. Nor do we want a new constitutional amendment. We want a new constitution. There will be no referendum, poll or vote. Each person will look over our proposals and decide for themselves whether or not they support them. If you do, then ratify our constitution and vote in our elections. If you don't, then don't. It's your choice. When a majority of people in an area agree with this new direction, they make it happen.

Protest doesn't work. Petitions don't work. Begging for permission does not work. When the system is broken, attempts to work within it will get you nowhere- elections will be rigged, and propaganda spread. That's why it's time to break the system and crash the party.

One thing that you need to remember is that nothing physically possible is impossible. Forget everything you know, forget what you've been told: All authority derives from the people, both figuratively and literally. At the end of the day, government is a group of people like any other. We are the ones who give them their power, and if we come up with something better, we can give them power too. The constitution is a piece of paper with brilliant ideas- but we must never allow the will of the dead to dictate the reality of the living. We need to keep the "brilliant" parts like universal rights and democratic government while leaving outdated concepts such as the electoral college behind.

"There's nothing more powerful than an idea who's time has come". - Victor Hugo

When millions of us stand together in support of change- not just abstract "change", but unified in our demands, there's no contest. Those in power will listen, or those underneath them will walk away. They won't have a choice.
