Take citizens initiative to call a General Assembly to discuss new constitution. Then see how it goes, if the idea takes wind. You can take that initiative also on DU General Assembly: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1252

Better not get hooked on pushing some specific model from the get go to make the process as open and inclusive as possible, and to start with brainstorming and thinking out of box. Putting all energy into telling oneself and others that it is impossible will of course make it impossible, so positive and even playful attitude is required. You better keep it fun, serious fun!
