#WE10 Census Civic Quorum Bill โ๏ธ
A Citizen-Led Law to Codify Local Power, Expose Hidden Authority, and Activate the 10%
โธป
PREAMBLE / STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
In the [STATE / COUNTY / CITY] of [__________], most citizens do not know how many voters it takes to remove an official or pass a law themselves. This is not accidental โ itโs systemic. By hiding these thresholds, governments suppress participation and protect themselves from accountability.
We, the citizens, believe power must be quantified and published. We demand our civic tools โ recall and initiative โ be as visible as election dates or population counts. This bill creates a standardized #WE10 Civic Quorum Line Item and formally requests its inclusion in all Census formats going forward.
What gets counted gets activated.
10% is enough to govern the governors.
โธป
SECTION 1 โ PURPOSE & SCOPE
This act applies to [JURISDICTION] and seeks to implement a standardized public-facing line item to reflect:
1. Recall Petition Threshold
2. Citizen Ballot Initiative Threshold
These shall be calculated according to local law but published in a uniform, transparent format for public knowledge.
โธป
SECTION 2 โ MANDATED DISPLAY FORMATS
These two line items shall be published in:
โข Voter registration databases
โข Public-facing dashboards
โข Government directories or precinct reports
โข Submitted to the U.S. Census Bureau for inclusion in the [2030] national Census
โธป
SECTION 3 โ LINE ITEM FORMAT
Each jurisdiction shall display:
#WE10 Civic Participation Summary โ [CITY/COUNTY], [STATE]
โข Registered Voters: [XX,XXX]
โข Recall Threshold: [X,XXX voters] ๐ [X]% per [Charter/Statute])
โข Ballot Initiative Threshold: [X,XXX voters] ๐ [X]% per [Charter/Statute])
โข Status: [โ Enabled] or [โ Not Available]
โข Source: [Statute / Charter Section]
โธป
SECTION 4 โ IF NOT AVAILABLE
If recall or initiative rights are not currently authorized in a jurisdiction:
โข The line item shall still be listed
โข Status shall read: โNot Currently Authorizedโ or โN/Aโ
โข Citation shall point to the absent provision or blocking statute
This ensures citizens know what they donโt have โ and can act to change it.
โธป
SECTION 5 โ LOCAL FORMULA FLUIDITY
This act does not alter local quorum formulas. Instead, it reflects them based on the most current law in each jurisdiction, including:
โข % of registered voters
โข % of votes cast in the last election
โข Flat numerical requirements
โข Other formula, with statute referenced
โธป
SECTION 6 โ IMPLEMENTATION & NEXT STEPS
This act shall take effect upon passage. Local governments are required to update their records within 180 days.
The [STATE OF FLORIDA] shall formally request that this structure be included in the next U.S. Census and act as the national pilot program.
