About 545 Project
Today we have men and women who govern over us and blatantly ignore the restraints of the U.S. Constitution.  In effect, the Constitution puts a force field around each American … to keep rulers at bay.  But elected officials have penetrated that great force field and now stand in our personal space, in our homes, in our work, in our cars, in our banks, in our doctor offices, at the kitchen table and are hungry for more. They do what they want, when they want, with no regard to priority, cost, the Constitution, or preserving our country’s prosperity.
545 Project follows three main goals:
1) offer solutions and large-scale ideas on how to change our course
2) reach out to like-minded people and organizations to affect positive change and hold our elected officials accountable now
3) offer unique perspectives and persuasive, researched materials that encourage fundamental insights into the key issues facing our country.
Today
What is liberty?  "The Philosophy of Liberty"

We need answers to the following questions.  Please email your ideas.
1.  How can the general public hold elected officials accountable to the United States Constitution other than at election time?
2.  How can the general public hold elected officials accountable to the best interests of their constituents and the American citizenry for the official's results not just their rhetoric?
