Hi idb, no only if your organization requires you to register, such as for health care or marriage benefits, just like joining an insurance group plan, etc. if some group WANTS to assume ALL legal and financial responsibility for members without requirements, that might be possible but that sounds like a bad idea.
the city of Galveston has its own SS,
and the Mormons have a temp 2 year program for helping their own members.
With parties, yes they may have rules for elected reps to register.
If there are tax policies made by groups, such as health care dollars being divided by party, then each party would vote on their agreed rules and terms for participating, like running your own IRA or "health care accounts" through a collective membership.
This would teach those groups or parties how to manage their own members and resources, which is good training and experience if you are going to understand and make govt policy on social programs.
The unions already have their rules for registering and membership.
So this isn't anything new, but just adding requirements on teaching and assisting with due process in case of conflicts so nobody's individual rights or freedoms get abridged by other individuals, higher authority, or the collective group dominating them.
Each organization has bylaws, such as nonprofits required to have boards and recorded board minutes.
so just add into the organizational requirements there must be a system of redressing grievances so that due process and equal protection is enforced for all members, and any threat of abuse of collective authority can be resolved. And have all board and members sign an agreement to respect those rules for all members, and report and resolve an complaints of abuse or conflicts, etc.
Each group can write up their own terms and conditions for their members.
the part the state enforces is the groups can't enforce or construe rules so as to violate equal protections of civil rights and due process.
right now, parties DO violate the rights of others by abusing collective influence and resource to push their party reps who are elected to office to ENACT and enforce laws that are biased beliefs against the beliefs of others.
So I propose we institute agreements
within and between groups to stop such religious and political abuse.
Thanks idb
I hope we see this come about between the major parties still struggling to reorganize their positions after this unpredictable shake up in govt and media.
