A Citizen-Led Law to Restore Honor, Eliminate Grift, and Permanently Restructure Public Office

This act eliminates salaries, revokes unearned privileges, and imposes harsh accountability on those who exploit office. We declare:
The abuse of public office for personal gain shall be treated as civil terrorism against the governed.
