Reclamation of Liberty

We the people of these United States after more than two hundred-thirty years of this great
American Experiment do, for the sake of liberty, affirm that this experiment is still a work in progress at
this time. It is neither a success nor is it a failure. We come together now in memory of the founding spirit
5of our forefathers and of this great nation in to evaluate to progress of our nation and its values under this
democratic union and to assess the needful changes to the established government in order to perpetuate,
preserve and renew our rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness and to admit our
imperfections in order to correct them that we may effectuate this renewal.
We come together now to unite apolitically and without affiliation or special interest to account
10for cultural changes throughout time and the world in order to uphold the authenticity of our nation’s
claim as the Land of Liberty in this contemporary time. As many other nations have followed our
example in establishing constitutions and granting various levels of individual liberty our nation is faced
with the justified hypocritical and unrespectable status as the most self-righteous nation on Earth amongst
the international community unless our individual liberties are protected beyond those of all other nations.
15Our nation literally does not exist without the unified protection of the individual’s rights and liberties
without which we are but an amoral pariah of special interests, corporations and demagogues.
Because of the growing lack of moral courage shown by all three branches of government and the people
as a whole, we the people do now intervene with further enumeration of our rights which have been
protected under the United States Constitution since its inception, but largely ignored, now in need of
20more experientially based enumeration and which we further believe to be right based upon history and
fact.
It is abhorrent that legislators, judges and executive personnel have so little moral conviction as
to participate in the establishment and enforcement of policies and laws grossly affecting the inviolable
rights of man within our boundaries even while admitting their individual opposition to such rules and
25laws. We, therefore, reiterate our claim to the following disaffected rights as inherent, inviolable and
constitutionally protected:
The right to self cognitive liberty and freedom of, and responsibility for our own consciousness,
mind states and emotions;
The freedom to own, govern, protect and defend, and the right to privacy of, our properties,
30 domiciles and physical selves
The right to innocence until guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt;
The right to not be prejudiced by Bills of Attainder;
The freedom to not have any rights impugned for outstanding debts;
The right to not be subject to taxes without representation;

1
35 The freedom of, and responsibility for, our own individual health, well-being and life;
The freedom to act however we choose so long as our actions do not impugn upon the rights of
others;
The right to face our accusers along with the victim’s right to withhold or withdraw a claim
without government interference; and,
40 The right to not have any of our rights interfered with or revoked without understanding and
informed consent upon which any and all rights may be waived temporarily or conditionally as
determined by involved parties, or by due process of law involving all three branches of
government which shall prove beyond a reasonable doubt that an entity has abused their rights to
such an extent that it has infringed upon the rights of other.
45
Based upon our newfound experience and knowledge of, and as, mankind since the inception of
our union we do hereby assert that these rights be recognized and guaranteed as constitutionally
inviolable by the laws of this land. These measures shall supersede any and all previously established
precedents in the interest of not any person(s) or organization(s), but of liberty itself.
50 We the people do further enumerate and lay claim to these in conjunction with the more
established rights of our nation as essential to the future and survival of the waning individual liberties for
which this nation was founded. Democracy absent liberty is a potential reality which has grown with the
rising use of terrorism by foreign and domestic politicians and radical militants alike. Yet without liberty
there is nothing for democracy to protect. Democracy protecting democracy for its own sake is nothing
55more than a Machiavellian scheme to protect the status quo and stagnate without progress. It is as sterile
of what is right as are totalitarianism, communism, fascism and dictatorial rule. The security of this nation
matters only insofar as it continues to protect the ideals which it represents first and foremost and no law
shall henceforth be enacted which sacrifices liberty for safety, security, or popular opinion as manipulated
by mass media and political rhetoric. Such policies are a disgrace to the courage, civility and passion for
60what is right which this great nation was founded with. The recent growth and obsessive preoccupation
with health and safety is at best a waste of resources and an additional crimp on liberty, and at worst an
invitation to totalitarianism by means of a fearful, misinformed, and misguided democratic people.
In order to effectuate these reclaimed liberties and also to preserve the future of this great
American Experiment and the founding principles of freedom, equality in law, life, liberty, and the
65pursuit of happiness with birthed this exemplary nation we the people demand an immediate recognition
of, and change to, various new and existing policies and conditions. We do this in honor and
remembrance of our founding fathers in the hopes that we shall not have to follow their example to the
extreme of having to take up arms to protect our liberties. Without lawful recognition of this document

2
 we believe in the inevitability of armed revolution and civil war which no true American desires. We
70cannot know when this might begin, only that we are aware of the growing civil unrest precipitating from
the rigidity, absence of compassion and mercilessness of our increasingly impersonal and bureaucratic
systems of law and government. It is unjust in the extreme for efficiency or policy to take priority over
people, over life, and over the individual spirit. It is a great and terrible error to discourage the
development of judgment, responsibility and accountability in the people by rigid ‘no tolerance’ rules,
75regulations and policies. Rigidity is contrary to the dynamics of both nature and liberty and inhibits
individual responsibility and integrity.
And so we demand immediate recognition of the following policies as law in the interest of our
American Values:
1) As the greatest tax revenue producing government on Earth it is deplorable that we have a
80 national debt at all. No government budget shall be passed/approved without at least a fifteen
percent projected surplus unless that government’s total debt does not exceed twenty percent
of its annual GDP.
2) No citizen being politically disenfranchised in any way shall be subject to taxes of any kind.
Unless a person may legitimately and equally participate in the political processes of our
85 governments they shall be considered “without representation” and be exempt from all taxes.
This shall be considered to include the rights to run for public office and other government
service or employment, to serve on juries, and to vote in public elections among other things.
3) No government, business, nor individual shall profit from the imprisonment of any person. It
is with heavy regret that we must ever resort to the suspension of any individual’s rights or
90 liberties and do so only as duty and responsibilities occasionally dictate in order to attempt to
protect and preserve the rights and liberties of all. It is never the responsibility of any
incarcerated person(s) to fund the enforcement of their own stripped liberties. If it is truly for
the good of the people, then the people shall dutifully bare the financial responsibilities.
4) No one may ever legislate goodness into the hearts of anyone. Prohibition has continually
95 failed throughout the world, even in extreme fascist police states, and only gives people cause
to abandon unity and nation in favor of individual choice and liberty at the costs of broken
laws, artificially inflated crime rates, and discredited government authority. A black market
cannot be monitored, regulated, enforced or controlled. It ends now.
We recognize the futility of combating drugs in a militant manner and therefore declare it
100 legal to use, possess, deliver distribute, or cultivate previously banned entheogens as per
existing business laws and additional regulations to be negotiated and established amongst
concerned parties.

3
 a) We also recognize the abject failure that is the “war on drugs” as a government
declared war upon its own people and is treason against said people. The “war on
105 drugs” has accomplished none of its stated intentions or goals since its inception
nearly fifty years ago and is a financial sink-hole hopelessly pursuing to enforce a
totalitarian policy by fascist police methods according to all information and statistics
available throughout its history. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is hereby
abolished. We do also declare The U.S. Narcotic Control Act of 1956 and its
110 subsequent and supplemental laws and amendments, The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937
and its subsequent and supplemental laws and amendments, and the Harrison Act of
1914 and its subsequent and supplemental laws and amendments all repealed.
b) No prohibitive taxes shall henceforth be allowable by law. Prohibitive tax shall be
defined as any tax exceeding, in totality amongst all taxing entities, one hundred
115 percent of a products’ or services’ retail value.
c) No drug shall be restricted from public or private research because of addictive
tendencies, potential for abuse, or in anticipation of its potential consequences or
damages. Resilience is better policy than anticipation. Anticipatory policies favor the
social elite. Fear shall not dictate Prohibitionist policies. Ignorance is best addressed
120 by education not by unneeded and wasteful regulation as has been proven by the
declining tobacco use over the last several decades.
d) No ‘drug crime’ shall be considered a Felony.
5) The right to cognitive liberty shall be held inviolable by any man, law, or institution of man
under the right to freedom of religious beliefs and pursuits. This right shall include the
125 freedom of, and responsibility for, our own individual health physically, mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually.
a) This shall also include the rights to seek recreational, emotional, and spiritual
experiences and medical or health advice or treatment from any willing source we so
choose and to choose whatever treatment or medication we desire according to our
130 own knowledge, experience, beliefs, or faith even to our own demise as guaranteed
by the right to self and body as property. This shall include the right to self-
prescribed medications.
b) Records shall be kept of all prescribed medications dispensed and such records shall
be made available to all professional medical and health personnel in order to gather
135 legitimate, accurate, long-term data on the social and individual effects of drugs as

4
 medications or recreations in order to fill the existing gap of knowledge in this area.
Such data shall not be used for any discriminatory purposes.
6) No false, inaccurate, nor misleading information or claims shall be knowingly disseminated
or encouraged in, nor by, any health, education, government, or advertising domain or
140 authority. This shall include unsubstantiated, retracted, and explicitly untrue information
unless explicit disclosure is made as to the nature of the information, i.e. unsubstantiated,
retracted, professionally unsound or debated, statistical anomaly, minority opinion, et cetera.
a) No other government censorship shall inhibit the right to free speech
b) No government shall establish, recognize, nor enforce protection from individuals’
145 free speech due to ‘offensiveness’ to others’ sensibilities.
c) No sanction for exercising freedom of speech or expression shall be allowed in the
workplace, schools, et cetera unless such expression is determined to be slanderous,
libelous or in the violation of civil rights.
d) No copyright shall exceed forty years. No extensions shall be granted.
150 e) No patent shall exceed twenty years. No extensions shall be granted.
f) No classification of documents shall exceed twenty-five years. No extensions shall be
granted.
7) The right to property is inviolable and is inclusive of bodily property. This shall include the
right to govern one’s own property as well as the right to privacy within said property.
155 a) Nothing shall be compelled to be removed from bodily property for any reason.
b) No property may be seized by, nor forfeited to, any person or entity unless said
property has a lawfully lien held against it in compliance with the constitutional ban
against Bills of Attainder which exists in order to prevent forfeiture consequent to
conviction, also previously stated as, “No conviction or judgment shall work
160 corruption of blood or any forfeiture of estate.” This shall hereby extend to mean no
imposed taxes, payments, fines, or fees shall affect property rights or ownership
without a proper lien.
c) No liens shall be established by legislative or executive interdiction.
d) No In Rem proceedings shall be lawful in regards to any living citizen’s private
165 property.
e) Forfeiture consequent to conviction shall be recognized as inclusive of individual
rights. Any rights sought to be stripped from convicted persons must be addressed in
designated hearings separate from criminal proceedings and shall only be considered

5 5
 if a blatant abuse of existing rights is evident beyond a reasonable doubt resulting in
170 the violation of others’ rights or in a felonious act.
8) Due process shall henceforth include a notification by the plaintiff, complainant or acting
party to the defendant, respondent or acted upon party to cease and desist in offending
behavior, make restitution for already existing damages, or otherwise prepare for pending
action in a reasonable and timely manner prior to government intervention except in cases of
175 violence or imminent danger. Said notification shall include applicable rights or statutes
violated as well as specific times and dates of alleged offenses. These listed offenses may not
be further pursued in court of law unless the respondent continues in offensive behavior or
actions. Notifications may be served by law enforcement officers at no cost to the
complainant.
180 9) Language being the single greatest unifier of a culture , only English shall be recognized and
required by law as the official language required for any forms, applications or other
processes except in criminal courts. Other languages may be provided or allowed at the
discretion of concerned parties but may not be required by law.
10) We recognize the broken state of our criminal justice system as most strongly evident in the
185 shameful rate of incarceration prevalent in our nation which exceeds any other nation on
Earth by multiples. Incarcerating nearly one percent, and rising, of our entire population as
crime rates remain stable and even decline is not what we believe in and recognize this as a
disgrace to the Land of Liberty. We affirm that be better to set a hundred guilty persons at
liberty than to wrongfully convict even one. Although aforementioned drug policy changes
190 will do much to alleviate the stresses and injustices of our criminal justice system there are
additional mockeries of American Liberty and Justice as they were established in this land.
a) True justice is paying only once for each mistake. True injustice is paying continuously
or over and over for the same mistake. No shall hereby be passed nor recognized which
gives cause for, or results in, enhanced penalties for multiple violations of same or
195 similar laws. A criminal offense committed multiple times is no worse the last time than
the first; therefore no offender shall face additional or ‘enhanced’ penalties for habitual
and/or repeated offenses except as allowed by consecutive sentencing laws pursuant to
non-enhancement legislation. Also, no criminal records shall be kept in excess of seven
years where an offender has not had any additional offenses of similar behavior and
200 severity during that time.
b) All victims shall be guaranteed the right to withhold or withdraw their claims or to settle
out of court without government interference. We consider it a pinnacle of accountability

6
 and responsibility for individuals to settle their issues and claims at the lowest possible
level: that of the individuals themselves. It shall be a recognized infringement of due
205 process for any state to pursue a legal matter against an individual without a victim’s
approval.
c) Plea bargaining is a recognized circumvention of legislated law and justice and a
violation of the right to a trial by jury. Therefore; plea bargaining shall not take place in,
nor be condoned by, any court of law. All criminal plea bargains shall, like civil
210 settlements, be arranged outside of the courts according to the desires of the victim entity.
A victim entity may be represented by any liaison of their approval only upon signed
agreement or power of attorney. Only in the event that the victim is deceased and either
no immediate family can be located or is not willing to represent the victim, may the state
represent the victim entity without signature approval.
215 d) The right to face one’s accuser(s) shall extend to mean that a victim entity must also be
identified and, further, it shall also be established that the accused violated not only
statutory law but also the right(s) of an identified victim entity beyond a reasonable
doubt.
e) No Executive Authority ranting parole to incarcerated persons or supervising released
220 persons shall be of the same imprisoning agency or department. Such a body shall abide
by court orders to grant parole immediately upon inmate eligibility unless there is overt
cause to deny parole for the protection of others’ rights. Neither shall any Executive
Authority dictate conditions for an inmate to fulfill in order to earn or be granted an
initial release or parole. Such requirements represent a breach of separation of powers
225 and are solely within the authority of the sentencing court.
f) Neither court nor jury may convict a person of any offense which is not formally charged.
There shall be no exception for “lesser included offenses.” A state shall not make any
attempt to trump up charges nor to demonize nor ostracize any defendant at any time. A
person’s actions, not character, are the only things our criminal justice system is to be
230 concerned with.
g) No neither bond nor bail moneys/assets shall be forfeit to any government entity unless a
defendant flees prosecution. No person shall be compelled to waive any rights to qualify
for bail or bonding as such would be to presume guilt before guilt is determined beyond a
reasonable doubt.
235 11) Our state of law in general is reaching a failingly complex level as is evidenced by the

7
 grossly excessive, and growing, number of legal actions and practicing attorneys. Such a
complexities are an imminent danger to equality in law and, hence, justice itself. Equality in
law cannot exist where law is so complex that only the wealthy can afford representation
competent in both identifying legal wrongs and pursuing just resolution to legal disputes of
240 civil or criminal nature. Thus the right to legal counsel shall henceforth extend to civil rights
matters including writs of habeas corpus, etc. and all legal representatives shall be selected by
their clients, criminal or civil. No reimbursement shall be sanctioned upon any client except
as a percentage of ordered judgments etc.
12) No taxes, nor combination or taxes, on earned income shall exceed twenty percent of an
245 individual’s gross annual earnings. For a government’s spending to exceed one fifth of its
entire nation’s entire production is grossly negligent and irresponsible, especially in a nation
which lays any claim to the people being the governing body.
