CAMP HILERY ****** >___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 David: About three months ago, I posted an message on several internet news groups asking about information regarding this "wild" idea that one could "become" a "sovereign Citizen" of the several states united under the Constitution. I was fortunate enough to begin my research by reading a book called "The Federal Zone", by a gentleman named Mitch Modeleski. The word "become" is key to your understanding of sovereign Citizenship: YOU WERE BORN A SOVEREIGN CITIZEN, IF YOU WERE BORN IN ONE OF THE SEVERAL STATES UNITED UNDER THE CONSTITUTION. One does not "become" a sovereign Citizen (notice the captial "C"); one takes back what is rightfully his/hers under Common Law, i.e., the Constitution. You might learn something very important about soveriegn Citizenship by simply reading the Constitution. Before the dreaded 14th Amendment, the word "Citizen" is used 13 times all instances are with the "C" capitalized (pay particular attention to Article 3, Sec. 2, Clause 1). These references to Citizens are the sovereign Citizens of the several states and the capitalization is not by accident. When we won independence from England in 1776, we were made kings and queens, i.e. self-governing Citizens under Common law. The 14th Amendment created for the first time in our history a "citizen of the United States" and placed those "citizens" (notice the small "c" - the capitalization here is also not by accident) under the excusive legislative jurisdiction of the "United States". You have given up your Common Law sovereign Citizen rights outlined in the Constitution for "privilidges and immunities" granted you by the U.S. Government as a "U.S. citizen". You might say, "Well, I did not do this volunarily" and you would be mostly right. The great news about that is that if your actions are not voluntary in a contract (i.e., Social Security "contract", taxpayer "contact" etc.), the contract can be challenged and voided. Now think about it for a moment, where does the "United States" have "exclusive legislative jurisdiction". You may be tempted to say, "Within the borders of the 'United States'". You would be correct depending on your definition of "United States" and the Supreme Court has ruled "United States" has three separate and distinct meanings (see the Hooven and Allison Company case). In short, the Constitution gives the "United States" "exclusive legislative jurisdiction" over a very small portion of what we generally call the "United States" (see Article 1, Sec. 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution). When you say that you are a "U.S. Citizen" you are saying that you fall within the territory where the U.S. has its jurisdiction. Think the next time you say that you are a "U.S citizen": you may be saying something you don't want to say. As for sending non-domestic mail via a 2 cent stamp - it definitly is a statement. It says that you fall outside the "domestic" bounderies of the "United States" and are not subject the its "rules" - like the income tax "rule", or the thousands of other rules to which you are unmercifully subjected - as a "U.S. citizen", you have to put up with it; as a sovereign Citizen under Common Law, you do not. The issue is not "violating their laws" as you put it, but simply falling outside the jurisdiction of them! I would strongly recommend getting a copy of Mr. Modeleski's book, "The Federal Zone". Write to: Account for Better Citizenship, c/o USPS Post Office Box 6189, San Rafael, California Republic, Postal Code 94903-0189/TDC. Mitch asks that you send a money order with the Payee line blank for 25.00 FRN's for a single copy (via First Class mail). Begin to educate yourself about these issues - I did, and its been a great experience. Also read the Declaration of Independence at least once a day (at least the first 4 paragraphs) and the Constitution at least one a week. Don't just read the words, but feel them, and oh my - what a great feeling it is!
