CRA Article 1. Competitive Regulatory Agency (CRA) Structure
Preamble: We, the American people, establish with this Constitutional Amendment, the CRA Social Contract in the form of the CRA Structure, as the rules for the land in which we citizens jointly have federal, state, and local government-ownership-sovereignty in order to establish the rule of law, repel foreign threats, establish save-havens for the world's oppressed people, tolerate the freedom of others, protect individual liberty, care for substantial unmet needs, recognize self-ownership, establish citizen obligations, permit freedom of contract, acknowledge individual property ownership, and allow for self, family, and competitive governance in a system of diversified authorities.
This Amendment, CRA Article 1. Competitive Regulatory Agency (CRA) Structure, is a complete replacement for the US Constitution, every state Constitution, and creates distinct local Constitutions in America; this new Constitution creates three levels of government with one federal government, many state governments, and many local governments within each state.
Once 75% of the states accept this new federal Constitutional Amendment under the current US Constitution Article 5 provisions, America, American states, and American localities are subject to this Constitutional Amendment.
This Amendment is to be read in its entirety and is structural in nature; it has clauses that limit other clauses, and all clauses have the caveat of unless otherwise addressed in this Amendment; this Amendment is to be read as CRA centric, with the rest of the sections as supports for the CRA.
CRA Section 1. Citizenship
America is a citizen ownership model of government.
Every American citizen owns an equal percentage of the federal government.
Every citizen of a state owns an equal percentage of their state government.
Every citizen of a local government owns an equal percentage of their local government.
Ownership of a government conveys an equal representation of the government's elected leaders; ownership of a government may not be bought or sold and does not convey property or wealth; ownership of a government requires a positive obligation and has inherent benefits.
Every American has the right to become a citizen of any local government and any state in America.
Americans may hold multiple state and local citizenship.
Mandatory citizen obligations may be divided among numerous cities and states as determined by the relevant Rating System.
An act of an individual signing the CRA Social Contract creates a permanent American citizen.
The CRA Social Contract is an American's agreement to become a member of a CRA and RA in all 30 Sectors of their local, their state, and the federal CRA Structures.
When this Amendment is ratified, every current American citizen has the right for two years to sign the CRA Social Contract; American citizens must sign the CRA Social Contract to remain an American citizen.
At the time of the child's birth, a child born to an American citizen is an American citizen until the age of 30 and has the right to sign the CRA Social Contract from the age of 13 until the age of 30.
Only American citizens have voting rights within CRA's and RA's.
Every person and entity in America must abide by the CRA Social Contract.
An American citizen has the right to resign their citizenship; every person has the right to leave America, except for serving a criminal sentence; a reinstatement of citizenship requires a 50% federal Sector 25 vote for anyone under 30 years of age.
A 70% federal Sector 25 vote is required to allow a non-American individual to enter or remain in America; a 40% vote repeals the allowance; the legislative representatives may set conditions and limitations.
A 70% federal Sector 25 vote is required to allow a non-American individual to sign the CRA Social Contract to become an American citizen.
An 80% federal Sector 25 vote is required to remove citizenship from an American citizen and expel them.
CRA Section 2. General Clauses
Every legal entity must be a person, business, or organization.
Each business and organization must be under the control of a person or multiple people.
Every person, business, and organization is a legal entity.
For the purposes of this Constitutional Amendment, an entity is an American legal entity or a foreign entity legally living or doing business in America.
An American citizen starts to progressively become an independent legal entity 13 years after their birth.
A person may only hold one official office within a CRA Structure at any one time. A person may hold a similar official office in numerous CRA structures. A similar office indicates the same level, state, or local; indicates CRA side or the Rating System side; indicates CRA, Sector Board, or Parent Sector Board level; indicates the same branch of executive, legislative or judicial.
Only American citizens may hold an official office within a CRA Structure.
Every membership, transaction, contract, or interaction must have an all-parties-involved agreement.
Once this Amendment passes, the current government, the Sector Boards, and the Parent Sector Board have broad powers in a five-year window to implement a transition plan consistent with moving towards this CRA Structure.
The Federal Parent Rating System must determine whether the transition plans are consistent with moving towards this CRA Structure.
All laws, regulations, spending, and taxing from the government before this Amendment was passed are void after the 5-year transition period; CRA's adopt all current laws and regulations within their jurisdiction unless this Amendment addresses the law or CRA's directly address that law and regulation.
This US Constitution is Amended by a 75% vote of all federal CRA Parent Sector Board representatives; Constitutional clauses are not subject to repeal or Amendment with less than a 75% vote of all federal CRA Parent Sector Board representatives.
The US post office will transition to the free enterprise system; thus, it is subject to the Section 12 standard transition; mail delivery will be regulated by CRA's in Sector 29.
No governing body may pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts.
Unless this Amendment states differently, all percentage votes listed in this Amendment are from the legislative branch of the stated Sector Board or Parent Sector Board.
No Sector Board or Parent Sector Board may inhibit, restrict, favor, or hamper, trade widely defined, with other jurisdictions within America or the Pockets of Freedom.
At the Sector Board or Parent Sector Board, taxes and regulations must be the same for trade within a jurisdiction and across jurisdictions.
Trade is widely defined in these free trade clauses to include products, service, labor, financial transactions, 'online' activity, charity work, among other activities.
These free trade clauses do not denote or permit Sector Board or Parent Sector Board authority; these clauses restrict Sector Board or Parent Sector Board authority otherwise authorized by this Amendment.
The preceding free trade clause applies to the world; however, subject to the foreign policy approved by the federal Sector 6, subject to restrictions on non-Americans crossing American borders, subject to the 5% Charity tax on foreign trade, subject to the 5% Military Capability System tax, among others authorized by this Amendment.
Individuals, organizations, businesses, charities, CRA's, among others broadly defined, are not limited at the Sector Board level, to interactions, transactions, contracts, assistance, protection, among others broadly defined, with only members of the same CRA; this is all-inclusive.
The federal Parent Sector Board must uniformly define an entity's income, per capita income, and gross domestic product (GDP).
Unless directly stated in this Amendment, every threshold, definition, and subjective term must be given clear meaning and implication by the Judicial Sector's Rating System.
Every RA may pose a clarifying question to the Judicial Sector's Rating System, which an answer must be given within nine months.
CRA Section 3. Bylaws
Every agency, board, organization, legislative branch, judicial branch, executive branch, or group within this CRA Structure must set up governing bylaws consistent with this CRA Structure.
Bylaws must address the term duration of elected representatives.
Bylaws must address memberships.
Bylaws must address membership voting.
Bylaws must address members turning over their proxy votes to representatives within their CRA.
Bylaws must address fees and taxes.
Bylaws must address the separation of powers of the legislative, judicial, and executive authorities.
Bylaws must address prosecutorial powers; all prosecutors must attain authority from Sector 13.
Bylaws must address the Super Majority multi-step voting system in Section 6.
Bylaws must address a vacancy in an official office with an appropriate line of succession.
Bylaws must address leadership.
Bylaws must address the transparency of information, in which a Rating Floor is required.
Bylaws must address all issues necessary to fulfill constitutional obligations.
Bylaws may address any issue proper for the sound management of the group.
CRA's have extensive autonomy to create their own CRA bylaws.
The Parent Sector Board must distinctly create each of the Sector Boards' bylaws and the Parent Sector Board's bylaws.
CRA Section 4. Federal, State, and Local
The Federal Government will have one CRA Structure consisting of every American entity and sovereignty over the entire American land and water rights.
Every American state government will have one distinct CRA Structure consisting of its entities and sovereignty over its entire land and water rights.
The Federal Parent Sector Board has authority over creating and reconfiguring American states and territories with a 70% state Parent Sector Board vote from any affected state.
Creating a new state from a Pocket of Freedom requires a 70% DFP vote and the approval of 70% of the state's Parent Sector Board top executive leaders.
All American territories collectively become one state; each territory becomes at least one locality per territory in the new state.
Every American local government will have one distinct CRA Structure consisting of its entities and sovereignty over its entire land and water rights; a local government may not have over 15% of the state's population.
The State Parent Sector Board has authority over the creation and reconfiguration of local governments.
A local government or collectively, several contiguous local governments with a higher population than 500,000 citizens may become a distinct American state with a 50% local Parent Sector Board vote or votes; the respective states or the federal Parent Sector Boards may not block this action.
A state with less than 500,000 citizens must merge with another contiguous state.
The Federal Sector 6 Sector Board must set up an obligation system that allows states to claim water rights in the open ocean.
Federal level CRA Sector Boards may not fund state or local level CRA Sector Boards.
CRA Section 5. Original-Authority
Original-Authority is defined within this Amendment as where the authority originates; thus, stating that an individual, agency, or board has Original-Authority signifies the highest jurisdiction or where the power lies.
People have Original-Authority to own land; people have the Original-Authority to join together under contracts; landowners have the Original-Authority to set rules for the land they own; ownership rights and contracts necessitate obligations; therefore, a citizen ownership model of government derives from these Original-Authorities and obligations.
Authority rests with the individual, agency, or board assigned Original-Authority by this Amendment with the understanding that this Amendment further divides, allocates, and designates jurisdiction and Original-Authority with additional clauses.
Original-Authority rests with the individual person.
A person owns their body and has Original-Authority to protect their body, as well as their property, possessions, liberty, and freedom; this same Original-Authority extends to protecting their family and fellow man; this Original-Authority creates a civil liberty to own, possess, and carry weapons necessary to achieve that protection.
Individuals, businesses, and organizations have Original-Authority, to or not to, interact, associate, transact, contract, employ, and make agreements with other individuals, businesses, and organizations.
The freedom of association, along with the freedom not to associate, is an individual, business, and organization civil liberty that must not be infringed; CRA's and RA's hold these rights.
Entities have the right to select their representatives throughout this CRA Structure; this needs a two-sided agreement; therefore, a CRA or RA may decline membership; Sector Boards may not reject legally-established CRA's.
State-level Sectors will have Original-Authority over federal-level and local-level Sectors except for the Foreign Protection System Sectors 6,7,8,9, and 10, where the federal-level Sectors have Original-Authority.
State-level Parent Sector Boards will have Original-Authority over federal-level and local-level Parent Sector Boards except for jurisdiction of the Foreign Protection System Sectors 6,7,8,9, and 10 where the federal level Parent Sector Board has Original-Authority.
The state-level Sector Boards must designate authority to Federal-level and local-level Sectors, except for Sectors 6,7,8,9, and 10.
All the State-level Sector Board legislators, per Sector, must meet and determine a consistent level of federal authority across all states, where all states have equal representation for 50% of the vote and proportional representation for the remaining 50% of the vote; this excludes Sectors 6,7,8,9, and 10; each proposal and vote must be on a narrow and highly specific issue.
A 70% vote of the state-level Sector Boards, per Sector, are needed to move additional authority and jurisdiction to the Federal level; this excludes Sectors 6,7,8,9, and 10.
A 40% vote of the state-level Sector Boards, per Sector, is required to reduce authority and jurisdiction from the Federal level; this excludes Sectors 6,7,8,9, and 10.
The Foreign Protection System Sectors 6,7,8,9, and 10 will have Original-Authority at the federal level; the Federal Sector Boards must designate state and local authority.
The authority to designate authority between federal, state and local levels of government does not denote the authority to adjust authority between the CRA level, the Sector Board level, or the Parent Sector Board level.
CRA Sectors 6, 7, 9, 10, and 13 have Original-Authority at the Sector Board level; all other Sectors have Original-Authority at the CRA level.
Every Rating System has Original-Authority to set and must set Rating Floors on CRA's fulfilling the purpose of their Sector listed in this Amendment and their Sector's mission statement.
CRA Section 6. Super Majority
All representative action at the Sector Board level or Parent Sector Board level must achieve a 70% representative vote except for precise clauses narrowly tailored in this Amendment using the word 'must.'
A 40% representative vote can repeal representative action at the Sector Board level or Parent Sector Board level; this does not apply to Constitutional clauses.
An action by Sector Board or Parent Sector Board representatives is a vote on a leader, tax, fee, authorization, regulations, laws, or other activities appropriately, narrowly tailored, and expressly authorized to a Sector Board or Parent Sector Board by this Amendment.
Mandatory Sector Board actions must use the following multi-step voting system if a 70% vote is not attainable. If this Amendment requires a specific action by the Sector Board or Parent Sector Board represented by the word 'MUST' in this Amendment, and a 70% representative vote cannot be attained to accomplish the action, all relevant representatives must submit proposals; the top five proposals, as measured by representative approval, become the five options available; there would be three series of representative votes to eliminate one of the remaining proposals; a positive vote of the remaining two proposals creates law or elects the top executive leader.
Repeal of any action required by this Amendment with the word 'must' will prompt a new multi-step vote that must conclude within 30 days; a repeal with less than a 50% vote has a 30-day delay.
CRA Section 7. The Parent Sector Board
A CRA Parent Sector Board is a governmental organization controlled by representatives of all the governed area's entities.
Members of CRA's from all 30 Sectors send representatives to make up the Parent Sector Board.
CRA representatives to the Parent Sector Board carry a weighted vote equal to their CRA weight determined by their Sector Board divided by the number of Sectors.
The CRA Parent Sector Board must have a legislative branch, an executive branch, and a judicial branch.
Members of CRA's must proportionately send legislative representatives to create the CRA Parent Sector Board's legislative organization; a CRA's official representative may add their representative strength to an existing legislator.

CRA's must proportionally staff all three branches of the Parent Sector Board; CRA's may share staff.
CRA's must fund their representatives and staff to the Parent Sector Board and proportionally fund Parent Sector Board expenses.
The CRA Parent Sector Board must define the parameters of responsibilities and authorities of all Sectors.
The CRA Parent Sector Board must develop a mission statement for every Sector.
A Sector's mission statement must be non-regulatory in nature, limited to broad topics, and a 40% Parent Sector Board vote may curtail the scope or lower the regulatory nature.
The Parent Sector Board may establish new, reconfigure, or consolidate Sectors.
The responsibilities and authorities of the Parent Sector Board, except for direct and precise clauses within this Amendment, are limited to ensuring all Sectors stay within their Sector's jurisdiction and stay within the structure of this Constitutional Amendment.
The Parent Sector Board's judicial branch has jurisdiction regarding CRA's or Sector Boards taking actions outside its Sector's authority.
There is no general or broad grant of authority given to the Parent Sector Board.
The Parent Sector Board may set up a rapid response plan for an existential constitutional crisis; a 65% representative vote of both the CRA Parent Sector Board and the Rating System Parent Sector Board is required to implement a short-term solution, beyond constitutional limitations, to solve a crisis consistent with saving America and returning to this Constitution; a 65% vote of the judicial branch of the federal Judicial Sector is required stating every element of these requirements is satisfied; these votes must occur every 30 days to maintain the plans; these plans may not limit or restrict citizens from changing CRA's or RA's and the corresponding change in representation.
CRA Section 8. CRA Sector Boards
A CRA Sector Board is a governmental organization controlled by representatives of all the governed area's entities.

A CRA Sector Board must ensure the integrity of their Sector's structure.
A CRA Sector Board must govern through its CRA's except for precise areas that are unpractical or create negative externalities, as defined by the Rating System.
A 70% vote of the respective Rating System is required to move governance from CRA's to the Sector Board; 70% of the respective Sector Board judicial branch must certify that Rating Floors on CRA cooperation failed to address significant negative externality adequately before the Rating System may vote to move governance to the Sector Board.
A CRA Sector Board must decide how CRA representation is weighted within the CRA Sector Board.
One-half of the Sector Board's weighted vote comes from individual American citizens of the governed area equally.
A CRA Sector Board at the state and local levels must decide how representation is weighted within one-half of the Sector Board dealing with American entities, including citizens, businesses, and organizations.
For a CRA Sector Board at the federal level, the state-level CRA legislative branches must send representatives to their respective federal-level Sector Board legislative branch to make up 50% of the federal-level Sector Board legislative branch in which every state has equal representation; the remaining 50% of the federal-level Sector Board legislative branch representatives come from federal-level CRA's where every American entity has equal representation.

Every Sector Board must make Intellectual Property (IP) regulations at the Sector Board level.
Every CRA must enforce its Sector's IP regulations using their Sector 25 CRA.
There is no general or broad grant of authority given to the Sector Board.
CRA Section 9. Competitive Regulatory Agencies (CRA's)
A CRA is a semi-private governmental organization consisting of only its members within the governed area and is Sector Specific.
Every entity within the governed area must select and become a member of a CRA and RA in all 30 Sectors of their local, their state, and the federal CRA Structures.
A CRA only governs its members within its Sector's jurisdiction.
A CRA is a semi-governmental organization that gains CRA authority by the membership of at least 5% of the governed area's entities.
A Sector Board consists of several qualified CRAs.
Non-American entities and Americans who have not yet signed the CRA Social Contract must become CRA members in all thirty Sectors; however, they may not vote.
A CRA must have memberships of at least 5% of all entities, properly weighted.
A CRA must have memberships of no more than 20% of all entities properly weighted.
All laws, regulations, bureaucracy, and governing occurs within CRA's unless properly assigned to a Sector Board or Parent Sector Board; thus, CRA's have Original-Authority.
Every CRA must become a member of a CRA in every Sector.
Every CRA must have a legislative branch, an executive branch, and a judicial branch.
Members of a CRA vote on the leadership and representatives of their CRA in all three branches.
CRA's proportionally staff, their Sector Board, and the Parent Sector Board; a CRA may decide to add its proportional funding to shared staff with other CRA's.
A CRA may become socialist among other statist ideologies; however, a CRA never has the authority to tax, require funding, or obligations from entities outside their CRA membership.
A CRA Organization is a private organization organized to group CRAs in all Sectors and across federal, state, and local levels of government.
A CRA Organization may have more than one CRA per Sector.
If a CRA Organization has CRAs from 15 Sectors, that CRA Organization can lower the 5% threshold to 2% to create CRAs in the other Sectors. A state-level CRA may lower the 5% threshold to 2% to create a local-level CRA within the same Sector.
A CRA Organization may request from and, if approved by 30% of the state Parent Rating System, gain exclusive control of a geographic area with a population of less than 1,000 and with 70% agreement of that population. Once granted, a new locality is created where the CRA Organization's local and state CRAs become exclusively in control of that locality.
Once a CRA Organization is granted exclusive control, the population may grow.
A CRA Organization exclusively controlled locality may acquire additional contiguous land.
A CRA Organization's exclusively controlled locality has the authority to approve or exclude CRAs.
A CRA Organization exclusively controlled locality may exclude people, organizations, or businesses from the locality.
A CRA Organization exclusively controlled locality has significant control over civil liberty Rating Floors within the exclusively controlled locality.
The state Rating Systems may limit CRA Organization's exclusively controlled localities to mitigate negative externalities outside the locality.
CRA Section 10. The Rating System
The CRA Structure consists of a CRA regulatory system side and a Rating System side.
The Rating System side has the same structure as the CRA regulatory system side and is subject to the full CRA Article 1.
The Rating System Parent Sector Board is structured the same as the CRA Parent Sector Board.
The Rating System is structured the same as the CRA Sector Board; Sector Board restrictions apply to Rating Systems.
The Rating Agency (RA) is structured the same as the CRA.
The Rating System side is not subject to an additional complete Rating System; however, every Sector's Rating System must rate its RA's for integrity, consistency, truthfulness, reliability, and fulfilling its mission statement.
The Rating Agencies and the Rating Systems cannot regulate.
The purpose of the Rating System and every RA is to provide quality information, evaluate and rate CRA regulations and the actual results, as well as restrict regulatory standards that allow significant negative externalities.
A Rating Floor is a rating level set by the Rating System, a CRA must not drop below; a CRA must increase regulatory standards to achieve a rating level above the Rating Floor.
A Rating Floor may not be regulatory in nature; Rating Floors must allow multiple methods of regulations to achieve the goal of reducing significant negative externalities.
The Rating System must set a Rating Floor for regulations dealing with significant negative externalities.
A Rating Floor must regard and is limited to significant negative externalities.
Negative externalities in this Amendment is defined as directly harming entities without their agreement.
A 50% Rating System vote establishes or increases a Rating Floor.
A 55% Rating System vote lowers a Rating Floor.
A societal negative externality in this Amendment is defined as general harm to most entities in society that includes moral, cultural, and societal factors; a 60% Rating System vote establishes or increases a societal negative externality Rating Floor; a 45% Rating System vote lowers a societal negative externality Rating Floor.
An individual living an impoverished life is a societal negative externality; however, this category requires a 70% vote to increase and a 35% vote to lower an Impoverished Life Societal Negative Externality Rating Floor.
A 50% vote of the Rating System of the Judicial Sector is required to declare a narrow set of issues as a negative externality or a societal negative externality.
An RA may force a Rating System to vote on any specific question within 60 days.
A Civil Liberty Rating Floor is defined in this Amendment as limitations of Sector Board actions that infringe civil liberties.
Civil liberty violations in this Amendment regard actions by a Rating System or a Sector Board restricting citizens, organizations, or businesses from engaging in activities cited as a civil liberty.
Rating System and Sector Board actions, laws, and regulations attempting to solve negative externalities and societal negative externality must respect other civil liberties with strict scrutiny.
Civil liberties in this Amendment are not obligations at the Sector Board or Rating System-level to provide funds, products, or services to people.
The Judicial Authority Sector's Rating System, with a 30% vote, may set or increase Civil Liberty Rating Floors to protect civil liberties per narrowly drawn category within all Sectors; a 75% vote lowers civil liberty Rating Floors.
Civil Liberties Rating Floors are also protections in the Violent Crime Mitigation System.
Violent Crime Mitigation Civil Liberties Rating Floors are restrictions on the Sector Board level, the CRA level, and anyone with inherent government authority in the Violent Crime Mitigation System.
Every Rating System in the Violent Crime Mitigation System, with a 30% vote, may set or increase Violent Crime Mitigation Civil Liberties Rating Floors to protect civil liberties per narrowly drawn category.
A 75% vote lowers Violent Crime Mitigation Civil Liberties Rating Floors.
The Judicial Authority Sector's Rating System legislative branch must address all civil liberties in the bill of rights, the entire US Constitution, and the common law, and then set Rating Floors for each narrowly defined right.
The civil liberties of the replaced Constitution remain until properly addressed with Rating Floors.
A 70% vote of the Rating System is required to authorize precise areas of regulations that the CRA Sector Board may regulate.
The executive leader of every Rating System has the power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses within their Sector's jurisdiction; the pardon or reprieve must be granted twice at least 60 days apart to take effect.
The Rating System must mandate the prominent display of ratings at the point of purchase, advertisements, among other prominent places as defined by 40% of the Rating System.
The federal Rating System Parent Sector Board must set a Rating Floor regarding the proper respect, cooperation, full faith, and credit between and within all CRA Structures per narrowly drawn category; a 40% vote sets or increases the Rating Floor, and a 70% vote lowers the Rating Floor.
Rating Agencies must debate other Rating Agencies; the debate must be robust as defined by 40% of the Rating System.
Rating Systems with a 40% vote may set a Rating Floor for integrity, and a 70% vote lowers integrity Rating floors.
Every Rating System has original authority to and must address, through courts, the lack of integrity, to include self-dealing, abuse, corruption, fraud, among others widely defined.
CRA Section 11: Taxation
Every entity must pay the fee of membership for their CRA in every Sector.
All CRA's set their own membership fees.
Individual membership fees and funding obligations start at the age of 13; the fees and obligations start at $0 and must increase 1.66% per month, of the full funding and obligation amount, until the person must fully take on their funding obligation responsibilities of a citizen; no one may shelter their fees nor funding obligations by conducting transactions through a person with a lower tax or fee obligation; this graduated fee and tax obligations do not include sales taxes, business taxes, organization taxes, or other obligations under the control of others.
When this Amendment requires CRA funding, fees, proportional taxes, among other obligations, an entity implicitly has the option of contracting with private businesses regulated by their CRA and accomplishing the goal of the mandatory obligations.
Taxes, fees, loan payments, and other obligations may be collected through work in the Charity Economy instead of cash payments.
The fair market value of work in the Charity Economy needs an all-parties involved agreement; if the payment is mandatory by the Sector Board or this Amendment, 50% of the proper Rating System must also agree on the value of the work on the high side.
The Rating System of every Sector must set a Rating Floor regarding adequate funding.
With a 70% vote, the Rating System may require CRA funding as a percentage of an entity's income, sales, real-estate value, or another suitable proportional method.
Membership fees must include a head tax collecting no less than 10% of a Sector's overall funding if a proportional funding method is required; the head tax must be credited towards the proportional tax.
A Rating System mandated proportional funding method of taxation may not use deductions, exemptions, nor (credits greater than the head tax).
The tax code at the Sector Board level may not be used for welfare; the tax code or fee schedule may only collect funds, not distribute funds; this clause does not authorize taxes at the Sector Board level; this clause limits the Sector Board authority.

CRA Section 12. Debt
The Parent Sector Boards of the federal, state, and local governments must take ownership of all government assets and liabilities as defined in the 5-year transition plans.
The Parent Sector Boards must use Sectors 24, 25, and 30 to collect taxes to pay off the outstanding debt.
This Amendment calls for many revenue streams to pay down the debt; outstanding debt in this and the subsequent five clauses refers to debt expected to remain after all the other revenue streams have been considered.
Sector 24 must collect 30% of the taxes for debt from the sales tax.
Sector 24 must collect 30% of the taxes for debt from an entity's income taxes with the minimum tax of 25% of the average per capita debt income tax.

The debt-tax rates described must achieve no less than a 2% original debt principal pay-off per year plus finance charges.
The expected revenue of a Share-Loan is an actual item with real value, thus an asset eligible to be in a Sector 19 M-CAP.
The expected revenue of a clearly defined future tax is an actual item with real value, thus an asset eligible to be in a Sector 19 M-CAP.
After the fifth year of this Amendment taking effect, these future tax assets must be switched to well-defined future individualized share-Loans and sold to M-CAP's at a rate of 1% of the original debt principal per month until all debt is equally matched with assets within M-CAP's.

The standard transition from the current-government-owned and controlled assets to the privately owned and controlled assets must have the following qualities:
The government assets are roughly equally separated into at least 100 publicly owned corporations in each relevant Sector; the Parent Sector Board would own all the stocks.
The Parent Sector Board must determine the number of publicly owned corporations, per Sector, named Public Asset Corporations.
The Parent Sector Board would sell an additional 1% of the stocks in the open trading markets per month.
Every Public Asset Corporation will lease out assets in the open market with fiduciary responsibility obligations.
The Public Asset Corporations may sell assets on the open market after 50% of the stocks are sold.
The revenue from all sources derived from public asset corporations will be applied to the debt.
CRA's may purchase stocks or assets like every other free market entity.
Every Parent Sector Board working through Sector Boards must implement a divesting plan of all government assets consistent with this standard transition.

The Sector 6 CRA Lead's complete control indicates they can adjust Rating Floors, adjust tax and fee amounts, adjust charitable requirements, assign leadership personnel to Sector 13, among other controls.
The Sector 6 CRA Lead's complete control must yield to Pocket of Freedom CRA Structure control as the Pocket of Freedom reaches Rating Floor thresholds set by the Federal Sector 6 Rating System.
The Sector 6 CRA Lead may invite CRA Organizations to organize CRA's and RA's.
The Pocket of Freedom's Sector 24 must collect 5% of the Pocket of Freedom's GDP to fund the federal Sector 9; a Pocket of Freedom's GDP is part of the national GDP.
