REGULATIONS
Foundation "We, the People of Bulgaria"
Preamble:
We believe everyone who thinks, feels and acts like
a Bulgarian, regardless of political or religious
beliefs, to be a potential member of our Foundation.
At first place we put the interests of Bulgaria,
but only and always in harmony with the moral principles
and laws of the civilized world.
We do not judge anyone, because we believe that
the best way to show the love and respect to the
people around us is respecting the free will in
others, as well as ours, but we deeply believe in
the law and enforcing it as a part of the Global
Justice.
In accordance with this statement, we reject any
attempt for manipulating the human mind with the
purpose of running politics, whatever these aims
could be. We believe that the World has come to
a period when personal responsibility and the internal
striving of every person for finding the Answer
will play main roles for the planet's survival.
We realize as a shameful fact that the legislature
since the socialist period of Bulgaria has accepted
the role and place of our people to be more important
that the laws, our Parliament accepts today in democratic
Bulgaria.
We will resist with all legal instruments against
the creation of laws that provide control over comfortable,
easy and cheap use of the potential of the Bulgarian
society, and the territory of Bulgarian lands for
objectives that look like but actually are not in
the interest of the country itself and its independence.
We highly appreciate and we are grateful for each
gesture toward containment of Bulgaria, which does
not require in return independence or dignity of
the Bulgarians.
We respect all criticism, advice and reference,
however we formulate decisions based on our principles,
and we take full responsibility for them.
We believe that the world progress has to be in
a delicate assembly between the rationalism of the
West and the spirit, which sometime can be confused
with lack of rationalism, of the East.
We will work to bring back the quality of the Bulgarian
education as a mean to up bring deserving, intelligent,
unwilling to be manipulated Bulgarians. They will
be able to use the philosophical instruments toward
understanding life, sharing fundamental human values
and knowing and respecting the heroes and intelligence
of their country, as well as being deeply aware
of their own history.
We keep space with all political parties, because
from distance the situation is viewed independently
and because we chose a position to criticize them,
and not to sympathize or become their ally.
We keep distance from the government divisions,
but we realize that the implementation of our projects
few times has to be in coalition with some of them,
in which the regulations have to be clear and never
linked to personal benefits.
We count on partner relationships with the media
as our intermediary between the society and us;
however, we have no contact points with the interests
of the corporations, who support them.
We accept as means of information thoughts and feelings
of Bulgarians not only articles in the official
media, but also forums under these articles, where
the ordinary people express their opinion. We consider
that no Bulgarian is not enough important, in order
for their opinion to be neglected, whatever it should
be, unless moral insults.
We are against extermination and refute of everything
build by our cherished ancestors, who have been
put into a common denominator at the time, in which
they lived and we want to honor their contribution
toward Bulgaria, so it will be kept by us and left
to our generation.
We deny the segregation of Bulgarians with different
ethnic backgrounds, and we will anticipate our intolerance,
and use all legitimate instruments to uncover and
fight people, organizations, media, politicians
and guests of Bulgaria, whose acts or passivity,
directly or indirectly influence the prehistoric
honest amity between different ethnics in our country,
We disallow the segregation between "Bulgarians,
living in Bulgaria" and "Bulgarians, emigrated
abroad" and the plantation of hatred and disagreement
about life, motivation and contribution of emigrants
and we will not allow to be segregated under any
circumstances.
We wish to take down the barriers between each one
of us, in order to build together that Bulgaria,
in which our people believe in and our children
return to.
God, guard Bulgaria!
