How to Help Resist and Change Unelected Bureaucracy Rules

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Consider opposing continual use of the recent decades that presidents of both parties and their federal agencies have used/and maybe abused their "Constitutional Power" and enforced agency edicts as "rule by decree" of regulations by the "executive power" especially under regulating commerce.

   This bypasses Congress and avoids following the letter of the U.S.
   
   Constitution about passing new laws with the bureaucratic concept of "regulations/rules"
   -- to, perhaps, at least try to impose their agenda by issuing many new regulations
   -- all with big price tags of millions or perhaps billions of dollars costs to the businesses, cities and states affected by rules.
2. 2

   Step 2: Encourage Congress to STOP new bureaucratic schemes with a "Joint Resolution of Disapproval" (JRD) -- within 60 days of a new bureaucratic "rule" being issued with a simple majority vote -- but if the parties can not agree

   These resolutions literally stop any new regulatory measure
   -- unless vetoed by the President., Though the elected government and congress may have trouble passing changes without a strong majority
   -- yet agencies may try to order sweeping changes in policy to attempt to control workers, filter information, control private enterprise, entrepreneurs' activities, install vast new ideas that you may oppose or support. ,, You can communicate your opposition of the "Federal Communications Commission" (FCC) possibly starting to control information or opinion on the Internet. ,,). , Stay vigilante in the fight to defend your rights. ,, Use social media messages and email, etc. to recruit and mobilize a grassroots army to give a message to Congress: contact many Americans even in the initial push! Launch your election/reelection eve email and blog campaign, targeting key representatives and senators to urge them to vote to pass "Resolutions of Disapproval." Even election victories may vaporize in smoke, when you see the full, bureaucratic agenda enforced, most of it could be done without congressional vote.
   
   No one may be seen making often, controversial laws.
   
   No one takes responsibility because unseen and mostly unknowable worker-bees/borgs are doing it deep in the hive, offline, or in political party think tanks.
   
   Tell them they will be held accountable for failing to try to stop the bureaucrats? ,
3. 3

   Step 3: then they can not stop it without passing a new law (not just the resolution) -- but either vote can be vetoed by the president (veto can be overridden by enough votes in Congress).The "Congressional Review Act" (CRA): The JRD was passed into law in 1996 in a little used law called the CRA.

4. 4
