8 HARPS, Eight Human Absolute Rights and Privileges, is a book-length blueprint for the 11 Franklin Amendments, which would guarantee every American healthcare, housing, education, income security, safety, privacy, and a government that actually answers to its people.
Written by a 40-year accounting and finance executive who has spent his career inside the numbers, 8 HARPS treats economic and social security not as a partisan wish list but as a set of absolute rights, priced out, funded, and written in the actual language of constitutional amendments.
Eight Human Absolute Rights and Privileges, secured through the 11 Franklin Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Every amendment is presented two ways: the plain-language narrative explaining why it matters, and the actual proposed constitutional text, Article and Section, exactly as written. The chapter number on each card refers to its chapter in the 8 HARPS book, available on Amazon.
