Ridiculous misinformation is circulating at random among the various State Assemblies, most of it coming from three point sources: North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida, with smatterings echoing from California.
Let me say:
(1) No money went missing from the disaster relief efforts in North Carolina. The sum total of donations received via the "button" on the Food Church website was $550 and it went directly into a separate treasury account. Every penny was duly spent and accounted for. All rumors about "stolen" donations and $26,000 being siphoned off are complete malarkey.
(2) All eligible people in any given State of the Union can claim their birthright status, declare, record, and publish by several different means, and hold meetings and promote activities, freely discuss current issues, and nobody is required to join The State Assembly, attend meetings of The State Assembly, use The State Assembly LRO as their recording venue, or serve their State Government. We are Americans and we do not have any obligation to serve any government. The government has the obligation to serve us.
(3) That said, if you don't join your State Assembly and lend a hand, you won't know what is going on and won't be listed with The State Assembly Land Recording Office (LRO) which is one of the safest and most official websites for you to publish your chosen political status. Also, if we all turn our backs and nobody stands up and does the work, your State will remain dormant and powerless and you will be up the creek with all the other shirkers who are still waiting for George Washington to do it for them.
(4) As each one of us "returns" to the land of our native State of the Union or to the State of the Union we have adopted as our permanent home, we populate that State and we also populate a County within that State. As a result, we have the opportunity to organize and participate at the State level, the County level, or both.
Or neither. County Assemblies work on the soil jurisdiction and are all populated by living people. State Assemblies work on the international land and sea jurisdictions and are populated by Lawful Persons (on land) and Legal Persons (on the sea).
(5) It's nobody's business nor within anyone else's authority to demand your participation or limit your participation in any assembly, County or State, with this one exception: if you insist on behaving badly and disrupting the meetings and events, you can be thrown out on your ear and/or given a "time out" barring you from attendance for a specific period of time. Time outs must be progressive and you must be given ample explanation of exactly what you did wrong and you must be given the opportunity to study and to correct.
(6) Except by your own stated desire, you cannot be permanently barred from participation in any Assembly.
(7) What do we mean by "progressive" Time Outs? We mean that the duration and severity of these actions must be applied gradually, with more severe and longer Time Outs resulting from repeated offenses of the same basic nature. For example, the first time you show up and are "drunk and disorderly" you may be kicked out of the meeting, given a strong "talking to" and a week long Time Out, during which you are expected to self-examine and correct your behavior. If you do it again, you might be kicked out again and given a month long Time Out. Do it a third time, and you might get a two month Siesta. This is simple common sense and it doesn't require rocket science to understand. I am sick of having to explain it to Coordinators and General Assemblies on a repeated basis, so listen up. Next time someone is given a six month Time Out with no explanation for a first time offense, there will be a change of Coordinators. No exceptions!
(8) There has been a rash of General Assemblies restricting or removing the Recording Secretary credentials of people who have been competent and faithful recorders for years, simply because the GA made some asinine "rule" saying that, for example, all members have to attend regular meetings to be in good standing or lose their credentials. This is America. These people are volunteers. If your meetings are so worthless and uninteresting or combative that people don't want to attend, it's up to you to up your game and get them back again. Voluntarily. Next time a Recorder's credentials are removed for arbitrary or coercive reasons, there will be a change of Coordinators or a shut down of the whole operation. No exceptions!
(9) Much to my surprise, I was told that "I" shut down a County Assembly in Florida, and that "the Federation" had determined that it was functioning as a District Assembly instead --- when neither I nor "the Federation" did any such thing.
(10) I was also told that "I" took action against Annette in Michigan, when no such thing occurred.
(11) I have been accused of being "unfair" to Lisa Schaffer and not liking Lisa, when I have attended her podcast and faithfully worked with her for months and recommended her to help other Assemblies get organized and praised her efforts on many occasions. The idea that I have anything against Lisa Schaffer is a complete, utter, outright lie.
(12) I have been accused of not liking Louise Armstrong or blocking her efforts; that is also a Big, Fat, Ugly Lie.
(13) The Federation has been accused of being "unstable" when in fact what happened is that people made inappropriate demands on the Peacekeeping Task Force and the PKTF tried to help them. That isn't us being "unstable". That's people making wrong assumptions and trying to drag the Federation into situations that they should be grown up enough to handle all by themselves.
(14) The Federation has been accused of meddling in Missouri's business, when in fact Missouri has had little or no business going on and substantial numbers of Missourians have been frustrated to tears simply trying to get recorded on the LRO and participate in what are supposed to be public meetings. So yes, I told them they could become "Greater Kansas" if they didn't get a fire lit under their tails and welcome new people and get moving--- but not without asking them if they had practical needs, like equipment or tech support, that the Federation could provide to help them get going. We also appointed new Co-Coordinators to help and expedited the inclusion of additional Recorders. We've done all we could to help Missouri clear the hurdles and if that is "meddling" then so be it, guilty as accused. We have a mission to rescue Americans and return their purloined assets to them. Anything from ignorance to apathy to misfortune standing in the way, we are going to bust through that and make sure that people in Missouri aren't just dropped off the end of a pier. Again, if that's "meddling", so be it.
(15) Tennessee has also been a hot spot of illogical accusations, rumors, and misapprehensions. And as usual, when such conditions exist, nobody was talking to anyone else, progress had slowed to a crawl, and simply getting straight answers seemed "impossible". Well, you've all got a voice and most of you have a telephone. If your Coordinator isn't doing the job of getting the answers you need, it's time to call me directly. Or text. You may have a lazy Coordinator. You may have an incompetent Coordinator. You may have a new Coordinator who is just getting acquainted with their job. You may have a sick Coordinator, or a Coordinator faced with sudden family demands. Don't just sit around on your thumbs waiting for someone to come serve you. Get on the horn and ask.
(16) There is a pernicious idea that if you work with or for the Federation in any capacity you aren't an American. The Federation, unlike the "Federal" Government, is 100% American. The only restriction on Coordinators, Marshals-at-Arms, or Continental Marshals or any other Federation workers is that they can't serve as American State Citizens and can't vote on matters reserved for ASCs. But they are American State Nationals of the State where they live and they may join their State and County Assemblies and have a voice and a vote along with everyone else. They can even serve on Committees and act as Committee Chairpersons like any other ASN, if they have time for it. The single exception, again, is that they can't act as State Citizens and can't sit on or Chair International Business Assembly Committees or vote in those matters.
(17) Some people want to argue and think that the USA, Inc. is our lawful government and they don't understand why sovereign entities can't go bankrupt and why corporations can't serve as true governments.
(a) All sovereign entities are independent and self-supporting; they don't "register" with some other entity, aren't chartered by any other entity, nor do they depend on some other entity to underwrite (insure) their operations so as to give them bankruptcy protection.
(b) While incorporated entities can provide "government services" they cannot function as a sovereign government because they are inevitably chartered or registered or licensed as extensions permitted or licensed by sovereign governments.
(c) This is why when you find a Dunn and Bradstreet Number or any other "corporate identifier" attached to an entity, like "the State of Maine, Inc." registration you know for sure that you are dealing with a non-sovereign service provider --- not the actual government.
What does this mean? It means that the people working for the incorporated service providers are not actually elected or appointed public officials and don't have any state immunity or actual Public Office. Not having any actual Public Office also means that they don't have a Public Oath of Office and lack public bonding and public indemnity.
"Congresswoman" Nancy Pelosi is actually just plain old Nancy Pelosi calling herself a "Congresswoman" and pretending to have a Public Office, when in fact, she is an employee of a corporation, no different than Elon Musk being CEO of Tesla, Inc. -- a corporation that happens to be in the governmental services business.
I hope this settles some hash and sheds some light and that if you have any other questions or problems you will: (1) try to research basic issues using the search engine at www.annavonreitz.com, (2) ask Teri or Lisa S. or one of the other more experienced people; (3)
text me at 1-907-250-5087 or email avannavon@gmail.com, being aware that I get a ton of mail and you might have to send the message more than once for me to see it.
