Hello James, You have brought up many good points. I think you are quite right in that we have allowed government to take away our rights. It's dissapointing that here in the US the Constitution really doesn't apply to many people anymore. For example, the right to free travel is gone because the state has found a way to easily convert the right to travel into a taxable privilege by simply getting you to sign a contract with the state (another wealth confiscation scheme). Here is a copy of a letter from Senator Wayne Stump, Arizona State Senate; Phoenix, Arizona to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office dated December 10, 1985. Senator Wayne Stump writes: "It has come to my attention that numerous individuals in our state have rescinded all of their contracts with the United States federal government, the State of Arizona, and each of its political subdivisions, establishing themselves as freemen under the organic national constitution of the Republic of the United States of America. Consequently, they may be driving without auto registration, driver's license, or any other evidence of contract." "Because many law enforcement personnel may be unaware of the contractual nature of auto registration and driver's licenses, it is conceivable that this situation may lead to confrontation between these individuals and law enforcement personnel." "I urge you to inform yourself and your personnel about this matter as soon as possible. If you would like to be briefed by someone knowledgeable on this subject, please contact me." "In the meantime, inasmuch as this procedure is entirely appropriate when properly carried out, I would like to be personally notified of every such instance of confrontation in order that the persons involved and the public officials involved may be apprised of the correct procedure and the appropriateness of their actions on the part of each concerned." Our other rights have been compromised through the same mechanism - legally enforceable contracts. Except that government has done a good job of concealing the fact that you ever signed a contract - very deceptive! Beware of hidden, invisible contracts. Regards, Chris
