Bylaws of the

Twelve Visions Party®

Adopted 7-18-2009

Last update: 8-24-2009

PREAMBLE: PRECIOUS NEWBORN

     The Twelve Visions Party is an unlikely, precious phenomenon that has steadily risen over decades.  First, the Prime Literature had to be completed – thousands of pages of literature that develops the idea system and application systems upon which a new world, a much better world, the Twelve Visions World would rise.  Decades of work went into developing the Prime Literature that idealizes the Twelve Visions World.  The Prime Literature provides the thinking tools and applications to free civilization from subjugation…from political leaders and their ruling class pushing America down.  With the Prime Literature in place, we are now ready to actualize the better world in which there is no rule of man, no ruling class.  There is only a Prime Law we all live by.  With the completion of the Prime Literature idealizing the Twelve Visions World came the next phase -- the phase we have now begun – of actualizing that better world through the Twelve Visions Party.  This phase, patiently awaited for decades, requires the lifetime of knowledge of the party’s founder, Mark Hamilton, who must shepherd this vulnerable newborn safely into the world.  Indeed, with his success, civilization shall no longer be subjected to the rule of man or live under a ruling class.  Subservience shall be removed and replaced with equality as all men and women live as equals with invincible individual rights under the Prime Law.  By freeing the subservient class – freeing the citizens with all the geniuses of society among them -- standards of living will soar as described in the National Platform Make All the People Rich, Including the Poor.  The TVP National Bylaws is a groundbreaking document changing the way political parties have behaved and misbehaved since the beginning of this great country.

ARTICLE 1: NAME

     These articles shall govern the association known as the "Twelve Visions Party," hereinafter in the Bylaws referred to as the TVP.

ARTICLE 2: DURATION

     The TVP shall exist until all objectives are accomplished.

ARTICLE 3: PURPOSE

     The TVP has two purposes:

     1. To depoliticize America in three steps (as defined in the TVP Platform designated in Article 4):

A. Elect a TVP President and Vice President. The TVP President shall submit to Congress the Protection-Only Budget (as described in the National Platform) and propose to Congress the Prime Law as an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The TVP President shall also veto all bills that violate the Prime Law.

B. The Great Replacement:  The Presidential Election of a TVP President is followed by the Midterm Elections of TVP Senators and Representatives to Congress. With public support, they shall pass the Protection-Only Budget in its entirety and the Prime Law Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (as described in the National Platform) to be ratified by the States.

C. The Great Displacement: The TVP President and Vice President and the TVP members of Congress shall oversee the dismantling of the federal bureaucracy and the disposition of its resources including the great sale of government assets to the private sector…government assets that do not serve the Prime Law of Protection. Revenues from the great sale shall pay off Social-Security obligations and pay down the national debt.

     2. To integrate the state-level affiliates (as defined in Article 6) to organize support of the accomplishment of the first purpose at the national and state levels.

ARTICLE 4: THE PILLARS AND THE PLATFORM

     The Prime Law and the Protection-Only Budget (described in the National Platform) are the two pillars upon which the Twelve Visions Party stands. The timeless TVP Platform demonstrates how the pillars will Make all the People Rich, Including the Poor (the Platform’s title).  The TVP Platform is the document, the phantom punch, that can defeat the deeply flawed, powerful political structure in America today.

ARTICLE 5: FOUNDER

     The founder of the TVP, Mark Hamilton, has for over thirty years developed the Foundation upon which this movement is built and the Vision toward which this movement is headed.  Mark Hamilton’s goal to dramatically improve civilization through the political process as described in the National Platform demands his deepest and widest integrations beyond what others can know.  He must work with those who have confidence in him and faith in his vision based on his thousands of pages of written works, most notably his two 1200 page trilogies Neothink: Universal Secrets (nonfiction) and Neothink Superpuzzle (fiction).  Without the big picture as seen in his writings, without faith in Mr. Hamilton based on his writings, it is easy to misunderstand and misuse this political movement and political party; it is also easy to become frustrated, rebellious, even destructive to this precious and vulnerable movement…this movement to rescue America and then the world.  Always protecting TVP, Mr. Hamilton shall select the National Committee officers who most deserve their positions based on the effort they have put forth and based on their integration with his writings and the big picture…officers whom he will work closely with to grow this tender political movement into a strong, unstoppable movement whose time has come.

ARTICLE 6: APPOINTMENTS VS. ELECTIONS

     Many of the major problems in politics arise from the election process.  The election process creates “vote-gathering politicians” who generate severe harm to society (described in the TVP National Platform) in order to win votes from substantial segments of the population.  Indeed, elections and their campaigns create win-at-all-costs distortions of reality and illusions among politicians while in office, while in power, which ultimately ushers in the rule of man.  As good as it may feel to vote, elections and campaigns (and actions taken while in office for re-election) based on half-truths, deceptions and illusions enable people to jump into positions of power they did not earn, or worse, abuse power they now have.  In the Twelve Visions World, appointments of positions will be made based on value/effort spent (not on campaigns) as in any value-creating business.  “Free elections” is a concept needed for representation only because we live under a force-backed government.  One can understand this more after reading the TVP Platform.  If society embraces the Prime Law and removes initiatory force, then elections and representation become unnecessary and obsolete.  Performance and results replace elections and campaigns.  In the Twelve Visions World, positions in government will be filled by performance and results as described in the National Platform, not elections and campaigns…just as in value-creating businesses.  In a businesslike setup, where services are paid for voluntarily and not paid by coercion and force, important positions and promotions are based on competent performance and results, not on campaign promises and illusions.  For example, value-creating businesses do not hold elections for their positions.  Representative democracy needs representation because we live under a pay-by-force government.  Without a pay-by-force system, we do not worry about representation because we simply withdraw pay if the service is unsatisfactory.  So-called representation gets replaced by real results and real value.  Good performance and value replaces good representation when the Prime Law goes into effect.  Within our own National Committee, we will begin a post Prime-Law structure, starting right now with these bylaws.  Like a business, founder Mark Hamilton is the leading head (as described in his book Neothink Secrets), and he will select through performance – through real results and value – the officers of the TVP National Committee.  We will break from the “free election” representation model that brings about campaigns, deception and rule of man.  Instead, we now transition to the post Prime-Law businesslike environment of performance, effort and value.  Officers in the TVP National Committee shall be selected and appointed based on what effort/value they have delivered (not on empty promises they make).  Performance, effort and value -- not campaigns, promises and deception -- is how we will run our National Committee and how we will select our officers.  We will require our state-level affiliates to do the same wherever possible. Flaw-filled man often harbors self-indulging agendas and, given the opportunity through politics, could devastate the TVP political movement.  Those avenues get cut off in a businesslike, promoting-on-effort-and-value system.  In our case, effort and value also includes integrating the big picture in Mark Hamilton’s writings and taking to heart the sole purpose of the TVP to depoliticize America as described in the National Platform.  Mark Hamilton will determine the people who best meet these requisites of effort, value, integration and will appoint officers to the National Committee. 

ARTICLE 7: PASSING OF FOUNDER

     At the passing of Mark Hamilton, the National Committee, which had been hand-selected by Mr. Hamilton, will carry on the business of the National Committee.  The National Committee shall NOT return to the election process to determine its officers.  As any value-creating business, the officers are appointed based on proven performance, big-picture integration, effort and value, not on campaign promises.  Selections may come from within or from without of the National Committee as long as the selection is a visionary in good standing who has signed the TVP Contract.  The National Committee shall select and appoint its officers through a majority vote of the entire National Committee members, just as in any value-creating business.  The National Committee shall act as a “Board of Directors”.  A 2/3 vote of the entire National Committee is needed to remove any officer.

ARTICLE 8: VISIONARY MEMBERSHIP

     1. A national visionary is anyone who signs the Twelve Visions Party Contract and is a visionary in good standing of the TVP affiliate of the State (as defined in Article 9 Section 2) in which he or she resides.

     2. In States without a TVP affiliate an individual may become a national visionary by signing the TVP Contract and paying national dues as established by the National Committee.

ARTICLE 9: AFFILIATES

     1. No person, group or organization may use the name "Twelve Visions Party" or “TVP” or any confusingly similar designation except the TVP or an organization to which the TVP grants affiliate status or as otherwise provided in these Bylaws.

     2. The National Committee shall charter state-level affiliate from any qualifying organization requesting such status in each state, territory and the District of Columbia (hereinafter referred to as State). An organization that wishes to become a state-level affiliate shall present a Declaration of Intent to represent the TVP in their State. Affiliate status shall be granted only to those organizations that adopt the Prime Law, pay affiliate dues (as established by the National Committee), and file a copy of their Constitution and/or Bylaws with the National Committee for review.  The National Committee shall not grant affiliate status until its bylaws are in line with a Post Prime-Law Structure wherever possible as seen in the National Bylaws. 

     3. The potential state-level affiliate members must demonstrate an intimate understanding of the TVP, its purpose and vision, Mark Hamilton’s big picture as seen through the National Platform and through the Prime Literature, the Post Prime-Law Structure of committees and affiliates, the concept of appointments/performance/effort/value/results replacing elections/campaigns/promises/deception/illusions.  Moreover, the potential state-level affiliate members must understand that the self-indulging “big political ideas” of officers and candidates must be replaced with one simple idea: depoliticize America as defined in Article 3 and developed in the National Platform.  The potential state-level affiliate members must demonstrate a deep understanding that the TVP is not a typical political party.  TVP is the party to ultimately disintegrate typical political parties.  No showboating or power grabs in the TVP; no “strong political leaders” in the TVP; just a disciplined focus on pursuing the goal to depoliticize America through the Protection-Only Budget and the Prime Law.  Again the TVP is NOT typical politics and is NOT a typical political party.  The TVP is breaking new ground with the objective to dismantle typical politics. The National Committee shall not grant affiliate status until the members of the potential affiliate fully grasp the purpose of the TVP as stated in Article 3 and developed in the National Platform. 

     4. The National Committee shall not grant state-level affiliate status until that organization adopts the state platform written by Mark Hamilton.  The deeper understandings of the Prime Law and Protection-Only Budget, how to apply those pillars free from anyone’s opinions or beliefs is not an easy concept to fully grasp as does the founder.  To successfully depoliticize America, the sole purpose of the TVP, requires Mr. Hamilton’s pure and simple state platforms applying the pillars free from underlying opinions or beliefs.  He must prevent “good political ideas” (not the purpose of the TVP) and contradictory messages from entering into the TVP.  Mark Hamilton has authored and shall provide state-level affiliates with their state platform.  The state platform shall be used by all fifty states and the District of Columbia.  The success of the TVP depends upon the presentation of its ideas as well as the ideas themselves as articulated in Mark Hamilton’s talk at the first TVP National Convention in Chicago, July of 2009.  Mark Hamilton has created the anomaly required for the TVP Platforms, effectively appealing to people’s primitive urges while backing up those urges with reality, both at the national and state levels. He presents the ideas in a way that will spread easily throughout the populace, which will benefit the affiliates.

     5. All TVP State Constitutions and/or Bylaws and all TVP State Platforms shall present the Prime Law as a heading as seen on the TVP National Bylaws, with the following footnote:  The Prime Law is the fundamental, natural law of protection (that directs all decisions of the Twelve Visions Party) and is not open to amendment or change.

     6. Affiliate officers shall be selected via their bylaws, which need to be in the Post Prime-Law Structure wherever possible.  Indeed, the State Bylaws must be closely patterned after the TVP National Bylaws.

      7. There shall be no more than one state-level affiliate in any one state. Each state-level affiliate shall, in accordance with its own Bylaws and these Bylaws, determine who shall be its delegates to all Regular National Conventions. A state-level affiliate may charter sub-affiliates within the State, which shall entitle such sub-affiliates to use the name “Twelve Visions Party.”  Sub-affiliates shall be held to the same standards and demands put upon the state-level affiliates.

     8. The TVP incorporates a division-of-essence businesslike structure (as developed by Mark Hamilton in Neothink Secrets).  The Leading Head is Mark Hamilton; his original area of purpose is the National Committee that replicates areas of purpose (the state affiliates) that, in turn, replicate areas of purpose (the sub-affiliates).  This businesslike structure will, when needed, establish tracking reports to be turned in.  The officers will develop and implement those tracking reports in time.  The replication of areas of purpose explains why the State Bylaws closely follow the unusual National Bylaws, and the local Bylaws closely follow the State Bylaws.  Indeed, the businesslike TVP is very different than other political parties.  The division-of-essence businesslike structure will increasingly bring strength of focus no other political party has.  Indeed, the TVP will grow in a businesslike way toward its single purpose to depoliticize America.  There will be no elections and no re-elections within the TVP to obscure, corrupt, and eventually lose our original direction.  There will be no elections and re-elections to diffuse and confuse our sharp focus.  There will only be a single, determined drive to depoliticize America and forever end the rule of man and his ruling class.

     9. No affiliate shall endorse any candidate who is a member of another political party for public office in any partisan election. No affiliate shall take any action inconsistent with the Prime Law or these Bylaws and must sign and be held accountable to the TVP Contract.

     10. Mark Hamilton shall have the power to revoke for cause the status of any affiliate.  If he chooses to delegate this decision to the National Committee or in the passing of Mark Hamilton, the National Committee shall have the power to revoke for cause the status of any affiliate by a 2/3 vote of the entire National Committee. A motion to revoke the status of an affiliate for cause must specify the nature of the cause for revocation.

ARTICLE 10: REGIONS

      1. There shall be seven Regions of the TVP as follows:

A. Midwest Region: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

B. North Central Region: Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

B. Northeast Region: Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont

C. Northwest Region: Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.

D. Southeast Region:  Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

E. Southwest Region: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.

F. West Region: Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Nevada.

     2. The purpose of the Regions is to be a part of the national structure of the TVP. The Regions will provide guidance and tracking of the performance of the TVP affiliates in their respective region.

     3. The Regional Committee shall be comprised of the Chair and Vice-Chair of each affiliate within their Region. Each Region shall have a Chair and Vice-Chair appointed by the National Committee. Further organization of the Region is at the discretion of the Regional Committee.

ARTICLE 11: OFFICERS

     1. Mark Hamilton’s deepest and widest integrations are needed to shepherd his infant TVP past the dangers and pitfalls in order to someday stand strong and, as seen in his Twelve Visions, free America from the ruling class.  After thirty years of idealizing this movement, we are at these fragile beginnings of actualizing this movement.  The selection of officers must come from the creator of the Twelve Visions, founder of the TVP, Mark Hamilton.  There shall be no election, for delegates innocently do not have, cannot have the deep understandings acquired over three decades of creating and carefully building the proper foundation and big-picture vision.  No one beyond the creator and original visionary of this political movement can logically claim to have better knowledge on how to advance the movement.  Therefore, the selection of officers shall be selected and appointed by Mark Hamilton.  In time, Mark Hamilton may delegate that responsibility to the National Committee.  If so, however, he may take back that responsibility at any time he feels he needs to.  People will get into this political movement for underlying personal motivations other than the stated purpose of TVP…although they may claim or even believe they are in this solely for the TVP goal.  People are vulnerable to flaws; egos will creep up and affect their actions; lack of integrating will affect their actions.  It is up to Mr. Hamilton to keep this movement disciplined and on course with the multi-decade big picture.
