"Assuring Accountability of Public Officials"

Welcome

The North Carolina Citizens for Quality Government is a public information and participation organization, designed and developed for young people, whose primary function is "Accountability Assurance" (AA). We are the AA vanguard; We guard against the excesses/extremes of so called "rugged individualism" and unending "materialism". - "The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first, and only object of good government." - Thomas Jefferson

We believe we need to restore confidence in our government and establish a Quality Management System(QMS) which conforms to the requirements of ISO 9001:2000(E).  

We believe we need to transform our Public Education System (see section 4, "SCA").  All things (systems/planets/individuals) are governed by Universal Law;  Universal Law includes both the Physical Laws, eg. gravity, and the Spiritual Laws of life (Truth).  Success or failure in life depends on knowledge and use of Spiritual Laws.  (see The Game of Life and How to Play It, Florence Shinn, 1925)  Life is not a matter of chance over which we have no control.  Life is controlled by spiritual laws (truth). In our introduction of NCCQG to the Asheville City council on 12/15/2004 (12:30 am), we stated that Dr. John Hagelin in his 2000 Presidential campaign said: “We need to create educational systems that develop the full potential of human consciousness of every student.”  He is absolutely correct; We should leave no child behind).  Life is consciousness!  The contents of our consciousness are the creative substance of our lives. The invisible world of Thought, creates the visible world of things!  Life is what we think!  (Suffering is not necessary; it is always the result of "wrong" thought.)  You are what you think you are!  You are spirit; you and the Creator are ONE! (Ephesians 4:6) ("Be still, and know that I AM...") Because of the law of thought, life is consciousness.  Because of the law of attraction, you are, you have and you do, in accordance with your consciousness.  And because of the law of Cause and Effect, every physical effect has a mental cause.  (As you give, so shall you receive); As you do to others, so others will do to you!  All healing is Spiritual (see "How to Heal Yourself, A-Z, Louise Hay). Everything is a condition of the mind; Our mind is the connecting link with the Divine Mind (Spirit); everything begins in the mind with thought. (see As A Man Thinketh, James  Allen, 1904)  Thought is “The incalculable, creative energy force of the universe.” Every thought creates!  And, as we think, so are we, and so shall we become. "All that we are is a result of what we have thought". - Buddha, 483 B.C.  We know the Truth.  We do not judge by appearances. We know that this is a mental world, and knowing this is the "key" to life.  If there were only one thing children could be taught, it should be that this is a mental world.  Everything else could be let go.  Life Is Consciousness – Emmet Fox, 1936 (It's no secret: All is Energy; We are ONE! - see The Secret, p. 160) "The greatest revelation in our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." - William James

We the People of North Carolina, from whom the State government derives it's powers, have realized our government responds too much to various separate and special interests and too little to our collective interests; we have realized also, that we MUST exercise our right to "change" our form of government - that is neither effective nor efficient in ensuring Life, Liberty the pursuit of Happiness and Justice for ALL and institute "Government Quality Assurance" (GQA).

As a result of this recognition of our vital role in the governmental process, we have formed the North Carolina Citizens for Quality Government (NCCQG). The foundation of NCCQG lays on the principles of Truth (Spiritual Law) and its powers are organized in the form of Quality Management ("direct democracy") as defined in International Standards Organization (ISO) 9000 Series.  NCCQG will apply Quality Management (QM) to the North Carolina government.  NCCQG will establish Standards of Performance  (SoPS) for the Government as a whole and Measures of Performance (MoPS) for each elected official.  The NCCQG will issue a "Performance Report Card" each Quarter. 

WE BELIEVE:
The Transformation of our culture and Public Education System (PES) are the two major issues of our time.  The third, is to Assure Quality Government ("By the People & FOR the People") and Improve the Quality of Life for ALL!  We believe we need to restore confidence in our government (local, state, national) and establish a Quality Management System (QMS) which conforms to the requirements of ISO9001: 2000(E).  


It's time for change - "real change".  It's time for Quality Government BY the people and FOR the people. We Need a New Bottom Line (NBL), a new paradigm, a new vision - a new culture that values peace more than war; people more than political parties, personalities and profits.  We need a new culture of creative collaboration and cooperation.  Fear, greed & Corruption have robbed us of any reasonable quality of life.  We Need Public Officials with a universal vision; whose every thought is for the common good; who recognize the Truth: We Are ONE; who will uphold the NC Constitution and preserve/protect our individual rights/liberty (Article 1, Section 1, NC Constitution).


Article 1, Section 2, NC Constitution (Sovereignty of the People) - "All political power is vested in and derived from the People; all government of right originates from the People, is founded upon their will only and is instituted solely for the good of the whole." (We Are ONE)


The primary purpose of government is to protect our individual rights (property has no right. (Article 1, Sections 1, 2, 3, 12, 13, 14 & 15).


It's T-5, Time To Teach The Truth; We are ONE! A Quality (healthy/happy) life begins with a quality education;  The foundation of our community lies on the education of our youth. Nothing is more important to improving the Quality of Life than Quality Education;   The root cause of crime, drugs, dropouts, violence and war, is ignorance of “Truth”. ("Truth is within ourselves..." - Robert Browning) Without a doubt, Education is the most powerful instrument for reducing poverty and economic inequality; improving health and social well being; ensuring life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and laying the foundation for sustained economic growth and “real democracy”.  (Ignorance is NOT bliss) The highest wisdom of the ancient Greeks was expressed in but two words: Know Thyself! ("Be still, and know..." Psalm 46:10) When we know ourselves, we know the Truth that makes us free - free to fulfill our destinies for health, wealth, love and perfect self expression.


Democracy - "real democracy" - depends on Quality Education!  "Real Democracy" requires active, positive oversight by inspired, informed and involved citizens.  You can’t have “real democracy” or quality government without quality education! 


Spiritual principles are the foundation of Active, Positive citizenship!  (Ephesians 4:6 / John 4:24 / 1st John 4:16) If the root cause of all our so called political, economic and social problems is “spiritual ignorance”, then the solution MUST be “spiritual education”.  (Knowledge, understanding, wisdom)  Spirit is ONE; ONE is All; All are ONE!  Success or failure in life depends on Knowledge and USE of Spiritual Law (Truth / John 8:32)




Quality government requires quality leaders.  You can't have quality government without quality leaders.  And, you can't have either quality leaders or quality government without quality education. (Quality education plus quality government equals a quality life for ALL)


There may be a connection between Quality Education and economic development; but, there is most certainly a connection between quality education and quality government.  You can't have one without the other.  We MUST have Accountability Assurance (AA) to Make Sure we have Quality Education and Quality Government.


We believe we MUST change the course and our culture of 3M's (Money, Materialism and Me-ism).  There is no use trying to reform our political, economic and social systems if our minds are not transformed.  A change in our culture and course requires a change in consciousness.  "The first revolution is the revolution of consciousness".  (see www.Billwalz.com and www.thetruthisweareone.com - coming soon)  

OUR GOAL

To ENSURE We Have Public Officials with a Universal Vision; Whose Every Thought is for the Common Good; Who Recognize the Truth: We Are ONE!  (Interconnected)

Public Officials who will uphold the North Carolina Constitution and preserve/protect our Individual rights.  The constitution of NC provides the requirements for quality government.  No constitution can be self enforcing.  Government officials MUST respect their oaths to uphold the Constitution; and WE the people MUST let go of FEAR, apathy, complacency, cynicism, racism, sexism, me-ism, "religion-ism" (not to be confused with spiritualism...) and materialism and make sure they do as well. (Some people forget that a commitment to Christ (Colossians 1:27)  is a commission to love! - Matthew 22: 36-40)

Our goal is neither power, glory, fortune nor fame.  Our goal is To ENSURE justice and promote the General Welfare and Peace for ALL! (Truth + Love = Peace!)

"Education/Economic Stimulus" Needed

North Carolina needs an "Education Stimulus" to improve the quality of life for all citizens of NC.  An "Education Stimulus" will prevent crime, drugs and dropouts (CDD).  It is the duty of the State to guard and maintain the citizens' right to an education (Article 1, Section 15, NC Constitution).  

We now know, that the Trickle Down Theory is just what George H.W. Bush said it was in 1980, "Voodoo Economics".

North Carolina's Constitution provides that  "...all persons have the inalienable right to enjoy the fruits of their own labor and the pursuit of happiness" ( Article 1, Section 1).

We need a PEES plan, a Political, Educational & Economic System Plan for WNC's economic development.  Did you know that in Montgomery County, Maryland, ALL the schools are EXCELLENT?

   
NC & All America Needs a Universal Health Care Plan
  • A plan that is just as good as the one members of Congress receive.
  • A plan that focuses on wellness and not sickness.
  • A plan with an emphasis on prevention rather than correction.
     
Excerpt from NCCQG presentation to Buncombe County Commission
"Many places in Buncombe County are bragging about being "Smoke Free".  Some are even vying to be the number 1 "freedom of speech-free" place.  Enough is enough!  It's time for Quality Government (TQG) in Buncombe  County. the primary purpose of government is to protect our individual rights/personal liberty (Article 1 sections 1 & 14, NC Constitution)."
