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.

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

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

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

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

G. 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.

2. Officers shall be full voting visionaries of the National Committee. The Chair shall count for two votes. All other officers and members shall count as one vote each.

3. Mark Hamilton is the leading head of the TVP and its movement. The Chair of the National Committee shall preside at all Conventions and all meetings of the National Committee and report to Mark Hamilton. The Chair is the chief executive officer of the TVP with authority to direct its business and affairs, including hiring and discharging of National Committee volunteers and paid personnel, subject to express National Committee policies and directives issued in the exercise of the National Committee's plenary control and management of TVP affairs, properties and funds. Mr. Hamilton shall require Essence Tracking Reports (explained in Neothink Secrets) from the Chair and the other officers of the National Committee. Those officers shall fill out their Essence Tracking Reports and email them to Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton may perform any of the above stated actions and may override the Chair’s decision at any time.

4. The Vice-Chairs shall be the chief assistants to the Chair, performing such duties as the Chair shall prescribe, and holding such executive powers as the Chair shall delegate and shall perform the duties of the Chair in the event that the Chair is, for any reason, unable to perform the duties of the office. Multiple vice-chair officers may be appointed. Mr. Hamilton shall select the vice-chair who would step in to perform the duties of the Chair if the Chair is unable to perform the duties of office.

5. The Secretary shall be the recording officer of the TVP and shall perform such duties as are assigned by the Chair or the National Committee. The Secretary shall attend all meetings of the National Committee and all National Conventions and shall act as Secretary thereof, keeping such minutes and records as necessary. The Secretary shall maintain the email list of the National Committee and send out voting ballots and receive and tally votes (as in Article 12 Section 6 below). The Secretary shall be the custodian of the Bylaws. The Secretary shall make an annual report to the National Committee containing all information required by the Committee.

6. The Treasurer shall receive, expend and account for the funds of the TVP under the supervision and direction of the Chair and the National Committee. The Treasurer shall make an annual financial report to the National Committee and shall perform all duties required of the office by applicable federal and state law. The Treasurer is responsible for oversight of all financial functions, including, but not limited to, receipts, disbursements, internal and external reporting. The Treasurer shall report to the National Committee and all National Conventions both the financial situation of the TVP and the results of its activities. The report of the Treasurer shall include an independent auditor’s report opining whether the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the TVP and the changes in its net assets and its cash flow for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Unaudited interim financial statements shall also be presented. Such reports shall be sent to Mark Hamilton along with the Essence Tracking Report.

7. The Vice-Treasurer shall be the chief assistant to the Treasurer, performing such duties as the Treasurer shall prescribe, and shall perform the duties of the Treasurer in the event that the Treasurer is, for any reason, unable to perform the duties of the office.

8. Mark Hamilton may, for cause, suspend any officer. He may delegate that responsibility to the National Committee. In that case, or in his passing, the National Committee may suspend any officer for cause by a vote of 2/3 of the entire National Committee. Mark Hamilton with the advice and input from the National Committee shall appoint new officers if vacancies occur, such officers to complete the term of the office vacated. He may delegate that responsibility to the National Committee.

9. The National Committee and its members shall listen closely to the integrations and read closely the publications of TVP founder Mark Hamilton and strive to see the big picture. The National Committee and its members shall follow through on the integrations of Mark Hamilton. The National Committee and its members shall not contradict or disrupt his integrations. Occasional disagreements or questions may occur and may be presented to Mark Hamilton by the officers of the National Committee. Mr. Hamilton will provide deeper insights to harmoniously move us forward.

ARTICLE 12: NATIONAL COMMITTEE

1. While working through and not contradicting Mark Hamilton’s integrations and while communicating with Mark Hamilton and supplying him with Essence Tracking Reports (as explained in Neothink Secrets), the National Committee shall have control and management of all affairs, properties and funds of the TVP consistent with these Bylaws. The National Committee shall establish and oversee an organizational structure to implement the purposes of the TVP as stated in Article 3. The National Committee shall adopt rules of procedure for the conduct of its meetings and the carrying out of its duties and responsibilities. The National Committee may delegate its authority in any manner it deems necessary.

2. The National Committee shall be composed of the following visionaries:

A. Officers of the TVP;

B. The Chair and Vice-Chair of each TVP Regional Committee and Chair and Vice-Chair of each State Affiliate (until otherwise amended with growth of the TVP).

3. A National Committee member shall be a visionary in good standing of the TVP State Affiliate of the State in which the visionary resides, and shall not be a candidate of any political party except the TVP or an affiliate.

4. Mark Hamilton with the advice from the National Committee shall appoint new officers if vacancies occur, such officers to complete the term of the office vacated. Mark Hamilton may choose to delegate this responsibility to the National Committee.

5. The National Committee shall meet at such times and places as may be determined by: action of the Committee, call of the Chair, or written request of 1/3 or more of its visionaries.

6. The National Committee may, without meeting together, transact business by mail (including electronic mail). The Secretary shall send out email ballots on any question submitted by the Chair or by at least 1/5 of the visionaries of the Committee. Fifteen days shall be allowed for the return of the votes cast, by email, to the Secretary. The Secretary shall report the results to all members of the National Committee. The Secretary shall establish procedures for identifying voters in an email ballot, and may accept votes through any mail system, including facsimile and electronic mail, for which such procedures have been established. If, at the expiration of the applicable period, a quorum of the Committee has not returned their votes, the measure being voted upon shall be deemed to have failed; in all other cases, a majority of the votes returned shall carry the measure, except where a higher vote is required by the Bylaws. The Secretary shall preserve all such votes until the next meeting of the National Committee, at which meeting the Committee shall order the disposition of such votes.

7. A majority of the membership of the National Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings.

8. Mark Hamilton may use a liaison at times when communicating with the National Committee. He will notify the Chair as to who that person will be in order to authorize such communication.

ARTICLE 13: FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING

1. The fiscal term of the Party shall begin on January 1 of each year. From January 1 until the National Committee has approved a budget, the Treasurer may authorize expenditures for any item incorporated in the previous year's budget as long as the level of expenditure is consistent with that budget.

2. The National Committee shall cause an efficient double-entry system of accounts to be installed and maintained. Financial statements of the Party shall be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

3. No disbursements exceeding $100 may be made with cash.

4. The National Committee shall have the power to designate the depository of all funds of the Party, and shall appoint such officers and employees as in its judgment may seem advisable to deposit and withdraw funds.

5. The TVP shall not borrow in excess of $2,000 total without prior approval by 2/3 vote of the National Committee. This shall not include current operating debt for trade payables.

ARTICLE 14: CONVENTIONS

1. Regular National Conventions: The TVP shall hold a Regular National Convention every four years up to a year prior to the Presidential Election at a time and place selected by the National Committee.

2. Non-Regular National Conventions: In any year which does not include a Regular National Convention, a Non-Regular National Convention may be held at the discretion of the National Committee.

3. Delegates shall be required to be visionaries of the TVP affiliate of the state in which he or she resides. At all National Conventions delegates shall be those so accredited who have registered at the Convention. Any federal or state law to the contrary notwithstanding, delegates to a National Convention shall be selected by a method adopted by each affiliate; provided however, that only visionaries of the affiliate as defined in the Constitution or Bylaws of such affiliate, shall be eligible to vote for the selection of delegates to a National Convention.

4. Mark Hamilton (with the efforts of the National Committee’s research, interviews, and advice) shall select the TVP Presidential Candidate and V. Presidential Candidate. (Mark Hamilton may, at his discretion, delegate this responsibility to the National Committee for any election, for that one election only or for more than one election.) There shall be no primary for the TVP Presidential nominee. Instead, Mark Hamilton will select the most suited TVP Presidential and V. Presidential candidates. Mr. Hamilton will direct the National Committee on providing and performing in-depth research, interviews, vetting to present to Mr. Hamilton for his further contemplation. Contrary to other political parties, the TVP Presidential Candidate should have no “big political ideas or visions”. The TVP is not about having a strong political leader and is not interested in that. The TVP is about depoliticizing America. The only focus of the TVP Presidential Candidate is spelled out in Article 3 and expanded upon in the National Platform. Anyone with political ambitions or visions beyond Article 3 and the National Platform shall not be selected for the TVP Presidential and V. Presidential Candidates. TVP is NOT traditional politics…it is the anti-politics. Potential candidates must submit their resumes to the National Committee no less than three months prior to the National Convention. He or she must be available for interviews if called upon. Potential candidates shall be interviewed to determine how well they understand and integrate the purpose of the TVP, the Protection-Only Budget, the Prime Law and the Prime Law Contract they signed. All self-indulging “big ideas” must be replaced with discipline and one idea and one idea only: depoliticize America through the Protection-Only Budget and the Prime Law. Mark Hamilton will determine how well a potential candidate can be true to the pillars and how skillful a potential candidate can be at stimulating people’s urges as accomplished in the National Platform and articulated in his speech delivered to the 2009 National Convention.

5. Delegates shall represent valuable, hard-working volunteers who have earned a spot for their efforts at the “big party” Regular National Convention where Mark Hamilton shall announce the TVP’s Presidential and V. Presidential Candidates (to occur at the 2012 Regular National Convention).

ARTICLE 15: PRESIDENTIAL AND VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS

1.As described in the National Platform (and even further in Mark Hamilton’s trilogy Neothink Superpuzzle), a totally free, voluntary-pay TVP government will no longer need elections and their destructive deceptions and illusions of vote-gathering politicians distorting reality to win substantial segments of the voting public for election or re-election. The harm they do to society by “buying” votes while in power is exposed in the National Platform. Nevertheless, for now, we must compete within the forced-pay system run by elections with so-called “representation” (as opposed to positive results and values as in the voluntary-pay TVP system described in the TVP Platform). To compete and pursue its purpose (Article 3), TVP shall participate in the general elections.

2.The purpose of the TVP Presidential and V. Presidential candidates is defined in Article 3 and expanded upon in the TVP Platform. There can be no other purpose. Those with any further purpose including personal agendas, personal egos, personal ideas or beliefs or feelings, any purpose for running for office other than the simple idea of depoliticizing America as described in Article 3 shall not qualify for TVP Presidential or V. Presidential candidacy.

3.The selection for the TVP Presidential candidate AND the TVP Vice Presidential candidate shall be made by Mark Hamilton with the help of the National Committee and shall be made public at the Regular National Convention.

4. No candidate shall be nominated for President or Vice-President who is ineligible under the United States Constitution, who has not expressed a willingness to accept the nomination of the TVP, or who is not a visionary of the TVP.

5. In the event of the death, resignation, disqualification or suspension of the TVP’s nominee for President, the Vice-Presidential nominee shall become the Presidential nominee. Mark Hamilton with the help of the National Committee shall then fill a Vice-Presidential vacancy, and, if necessary, a simultaneous Presidential vacancy.

6. The National Committee and affiliates and their delegates shall respect the selection for the Presidential ticket at the Regular National Convention and provide full support for all Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates as long as they do not violate the TVP Contract, and their campaigns are conducted in accordance with the Platform of the TVP.

7. A candidate's nomination may be suspended by Mark Hamilton. If he delegates this responsibility, a candidate’s nomination may be suspended by a 2/3 vote of the entire National Committee at a meeting called for that purpose. That candidate's nomination shall then be declared null and void.

ARTICLE 16: AMENDMENT

1.The Prime Law is the fundamental, natural law of protection and therefore stands alone, not to touch or amend. The Prime Law will be the heading to, but not part of, any bylaws, state constitutions and/or bylaws and state platforms. The Prime Law stands alone, immune to amendment. The Prime law may be edited by the founder, Mark Hamilton only, but most likely never. The following footnote shall accompany the Prime Law when it appears as a heading to affiliate constitutions and/or bylaws and state platforms, as follows: The Prime Law is the fundamental, natural law of protection (that directs all decisions and actions of the Twelve Visions Party) and is not open to amendment or change.

2.The TVP National Platform may not be amended by anyone or by any committee beyond Mark Hamilton. Mark Hamilton amending this historic document takes place as a result of a lifelong journey to idealize and then to actualize the Twelve Visions World, as described in the National Platform and the Prime Literature. Mark Hamilton authored the National Platform, and his changes to his document amount to his editing process that digs down, down, down beneath the illusions and appearances, down to the fundamental nature of things, down to reality…combined with his unique skill of presenting reality to the public in a way that appeals to people’s deep-rooted urges as described in his talk at the first TVP National Convention 2009.

3.The TVP Bylaws may be edited, evolved, amended by Mark Hamilton. Any member on the National Committee may submit to Mr. Hamilton edit suggestions. Mr. Hamilton will authorize or reject or adjust such submissions. The bylaws and the TVP are in their infancy and need the founder’s nourishment and guidance and protection. Upon substantive edits, the TVP Bylaws will be reissued to all members of the National Committee. After the founder’s passing, the National Committee may amend the bylaws with a 3/4 vote of the entire National Committee, all votes accounted for with the Chair counting as two votes.

4.The State Platforms written by Mark Hamilton are the same for all fifty states and the District of Columbia, and may not be amended. Over time, when Mark Hamilton is convinced the state-level affiliates fully grasp the role of the TVP to obey the Prime Law despite personal ideas, beliefs, feelings and egos, to forego all grasps for glory and power and to pursue nothing more than the “boring” single-minded purpose of depoliticizing America through the Protection-Only Budget and the Prime Law…then Mr. Hamilton may make the decision to release permission for the state-level affiliates to “localize” their state platforms. He also wants to see skill rising among the affiliates to be able to appeal to people’s urges as described in his talk at the first TVP National Convention in Chicago, July 2009.

5.The State Bylaws are to be closely patterned after the National Bylaws. State Bylaws may be amended at the state-affiliate level. However, any amendment that formally passes at the state-affiliate level must then be submitted to the National Committee, which will present the amendment to Mark Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton will accept or reject the amendment, or he will delegate that decision to the National Committee where it will vote yes or no with a simple majority vote. (With growth of the TVP, official time structures will be placed around such approvals/denials.)
