The American people must be alert to the influence of lobbyists and money on government officials and the threat they represent to democracy. To eliminate corruption and protect the rights of all citizens, the people should exercise sovereignty and call for constitutional reform to implement true democratic rule of law. This means separation of powers and checks and balances as well as free election campaigns for candidates to cut symbiotic ties between government and business that engender corruption. See the Charter for Permanent Peace for details. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10
