1779 Declaration

Following are the steps and guidance to help you begin the process for correcting your “mistaken” political identity as an incorporated U.S. Citizen to an unincorporated ‘self-governing’ Michigan American State National.  Note: You need to be 21 years of age to complete this process.

It is highly recommended that you carefully review the content on this website and read through the instructions, advice, and 1779 & 928 documents to help you gain perspective and to aid you in finding some answers to your questions. By now you should have watched ‘Changing Your Status’ with this Series of Short Videos.

What you are contemplating is a valuable, life-changing decision.  You should take some time to learn about each American status and the associated responsibilities.  After you go through this website content, the 1779 and 928 content, if you have not done so yet, you should contact the Michigan Assembly Coordinator to discuss your intention to ‘Declare Your Status.’  Do so by sending a message via our Contact Us pageThen you will begin to receive a series of emails from the Coordinator loaded with educational materials, information, links to guides, and the link to your Recording Secretary, who will help you through the papering-up process.

Important!  Read everything very carefully!

Note:  You are about to begin the process of doing the most important paperwork of your life.  Be a steward of this paperwork.  Make it look as professional as possible. Avoid scribbling, scratching things out.  Type the info whenever possible, if you must print info, make it as neat and readable as you can.  This paperwork is meant to defend you if/when needed, so pay attention to detail and follow the instructional guide steps.


  • Access to a computer or someone who can run one
  • Word processing software (ex. Word, Open Office, Libre Writer, etc.) or PDF editor
  • Paper and Printer
  • A Blue Ink Pen
  • A Red Ink Pen
  • Red Ink Pad (for your thumbprint)
  • Example of Ink colors on your documents
  • Copy of your Birth Certificate or Certificate of Live Birth. You do not need an Authenticated Birth Certificate.  The purpose for those is traveling overseas, if you were to lose your passport, the Authenticated BC could be used to get back home.
  • Passport Quality Photos (Clean white background, No: glasses, headgear or photo retouching)
  • Envelopes and Postage stamps
  • Registered Mail Documents (labels, receipts, green cards... covered on Guide Steps 2 page)
  • A Public Notary (Your bank or credit union usually offer this service for free, UPS Stores also offer it for a fee)
  •  Note: Make sure your Notary has a blue ink pen! Do not let the Notary use black ink, which is only for probate and death.
  •  Identification such as driver's license to show to Notary
  •  Each document you actually autograph, notarize and thumbprint is considered a 'Wet-Ink Original.'
  •  Each 'Wet-Ink' original should be scanned into a PDF and if your print them, they are considered 'Color Copies'
  •  Important Note:  Please do not use syntax in your name in any of the documents, we process paperwork based on Certificates of Live Birth and Birth Certificates which show your original given name and trade name.

What is Recording?

When a Recording Secretary 'records' your paperwork, that is equivalent to a Notary 'notarizing' your paperwork.  Similar witness process, different terminology.  So, it is important that you download and use the document with the correct witness block at the bottom of the paperwork.

When you use the State of State Notary paperwork, you can go to your bank or credit union and get your paperwork notarized, usually for free.  Or use a Notary at places such as the UPS Store and you'll pay a fee. (Around $10 per witness block)

When you use the Recording Secretaries paperwork, your RS will be your witness and Record your documents.  There is a fee of $25.  That fee applies for the paperwork done at the time of the 1779 Declaration and then again later when you do your set of 928 paperwork.

Note: Not all of our Recording Secretaries have stamps and seals at this time, so we recommend State of State Notary paperwork.  And to be very clear, you do not pay a fee for Notarizing and Recording both, it's either/or, you only pay for the method you choose.

What is Publishing?

Once your paperwork has been Notarized or Recorded, it needs to be published (made public). You are making a public declaration.  You can have it published at your County Recorders Office, or published in newspapers, or published at the Land Recording System (LRS).  Each of these methods have fees.

Here on Michigan, your Recording Secretary will publish your paperwork at the Land Recording Office (LRO), where it can be viewed via the Everify website.  Each set of paperwork has a $25 fee.

Fee Breakdown when using Recording Secretaries:

1. 1779 Declaration set w/docs from D-I: $25 for Recording, $25 for Publishing
2. Letter Notices w/returned Green Cards: $25 for Publishing
3. Credential Cards:  $50
4. Set of 928's: $25 for Recording, $25 for Publishing
5. Additional Documents: $10 for Recording, $10 for Publishing

The Land Recording Office (LRO)

Since this is where your paperwork will be published by your Recording Secretary, you will need to get an account on the LRO. If you are married and you and your spouse are both planning to become American State Nationals, you each will need to set up an account.  Your own documents are published in your own account and your fees are paid in your own account. Each man and woman declares their own standing on the LRO.

3. Documents Tab:  Please take note that each of your documents have a separate location for uploading.  Therefore, you will need to make a separate pdf for each document you send to your Recording Secretary.  Do not scan and put them all in one pdf.

IMPORTANT - please read!!

- It would be dangerous to alter any of the cited legal jargon and address styles because you would take the risk of not addressing the presumptions that you need to rebut, and you would lose the proper status and protections you want.

You only need to replace the red text with your personal information.

Exception: You may need to change wording in certain documents for your personal situation, such as...
1 - the Power of Attorney  (when assigning "power" to someone else) or ...
2 - the Paramount Claim  (i.e., home birth, where the placenta is in guardianship of the family).
For guidance on forming the verbiage, please contact our recording secretaries, or archivist.

- The Living Law Firm researchers have spent decades piecing together all the necessary details of what it is we need to specifically rebut in this paperwork.

- The documents cite legal-law verbiage from many sea and air jurisdictions that go back 200 years, derived from old court documents, law libraries, corporate government codes, etc.  Their specific words and styles need to be cited to show proof of the fraud we are stopping.

- The foreign corporations created many onion layers and webs to ensnare each of us.
- The documents cite all those onion layers, and steps us back to our homeland that our name
was stolen from.

- Each corporate jurisdiction has their own differently defined legal terms and definitions, therefore, the words must remain "as is" in order to cite the many jurisdiction from a two-century time frame.

- We need to show all government and corporate entities that we are an organized and sensible people, and here's why... if our paperwork is NOT consistent, it makes for confusion and further difficulty when entities of other jurisdictions try to view the proof of our status. We need to be consistent professionals in having our paperwork be an easy and simple read, and this is achieved when they are consistently citing exactly the same presumptions.

- In the notary block, do not change the state and county on the documents to a 'state of state' or 'county of'.  This could move you right back into the sea jurisdiction that you are papering up to leave.

- Any additional Lawful claims you choose to record (like land patents/grants) can be done in a separate recording for publishing.

- The Michigan Assembly invites you to study our education guidance.
- We are volunteers with regular jobs who want to assist everyone to get out of the corporate grip.

- We welcome you back to the land and soil as true Americans.

The following is transcribed from Anna's webinar # 132 on 9-20-21

Justice Anna Von Reitz - "When you study law, it's very important that you have the context and history surrounding the law because that's how you understand what the law actually means, and what its intended use was.

"The Supreme court has to interpret the constitutions based on the meaning of the words and the historical context of the contracts based on things as they were some 200 years ago. Well, we have to do the same thing, and we have to do it with the knowledge of the context, the history, the law, and the code that's derived from the law in order to sort this stuff out.

"It's really much more complex than people would think. It's not just the constitutions that have to be viewed that way, it's any kind of law, whether it's a convention or a treaty or proclamation... it's really pretty intense, and it takes a good deal of self discipline and discernment and study to be able to figure out how a piece of this puzzle fits, and the further back in time you go the more difficult it is to do.

"And it becomes more difficult because often times the records that we have were preserved in Europe, and those records were in the diplomatic language of the times which is French. Not only are you dealing with documents that are 250 years old, you're dealing with them in French."

From The Michigan Assembly archivist 2022:

Anna's description above of what the Law researcher team goes through in forensic researching should be proof as to why the legal jargon in our status paperwork must be left as is.

The status documents are dealing with multiple jurisdictions that have changed our born names into many styles and into many jurisdictions of the airy-fairy world of contracts and concepts of someone else's mind.

In addition, when you see the different styled addresses on the documents, ( i.e., Assumed Name ) each style is derived from at least seven different postal jurisdictions. This means that the post offices have allowed the crime of misidentification to occur through their systems making them complicit along with any corporation changing and using any derivative of our names in their world of commerce and politics.

The crime of name and title changing is extensive and is a very ancient trick. It has always been kept from the public, accept that now we have the internet and many hundreds of Federation Law researchers.

The Federation Law researchers have had to decipher each foreign legal law whereas each law differs from the next, and then may change over time. The result of the discovery of extensive fraud has been cited into
our status forms.

Once we sign our bylines, etc., and record and publish them, boom!, we've anchored our names back home for good, and into our own copyright ownership.

In July of 1779 the Founders faced a problem: how to identify Americans versus Brits and Dutch and Swedes and other nationalities living here in this country.  The 1779 Naturalization Act was the answer.  It was a very simple requirement by which our Forefathers identified themselves as Americans and not Brits, not French, not... or any of the other options that were available in the Colonial America.

We have been facing a similar problem today, in that our Federal Subcontractors have proliferated and promoted their citizenship(s) as separate political statuses, and have created False Registrations as Territorial U.S. Citizens and as Municipal 'citizens of the United States' in our names without our knowledge or consent.

Once again, we need to declare our political status as Americans.

So, we use The 1779 Naturalization Act and we provide some necessary updates by which Americans, both those born within the physical borders of the States, and those who have been Naturalized as United States Citizens, may establish and/or re-verify their political status via recording their Declarations with their State Assemblies.

If you do not have one, you can order a certified copy of your Certificate of Live Birth from the County Recorder’s office of the county you were born in. (This is most likely the easiest of the two.) This certificate should have your name in upper/lower case letters.  And you can order your Birth Certificate, also called Certificate of Birth (no word live on it) from the State Vital Records Office, via VitalChek.  This is the certificate created by the State that will have your name in ALL CAPS. (Important: You do not need an authenticated version of your Birth Certificate.  Those are used when traveling overseas, if you lose your passport, an authenticated BC will get you back home.)

If you have not done so, you can read much more about Birth Certificates on the Learn More page.


On the Land and Soil
_____

 

Once all of your documents have been notarized, you need to scan and make PDFs of them to send to your Recording Secretary so they can be published onto the LRO. 

Tip:  Before scanning your documents, use a pencil to ‘very lightly’ rub over the raised areas of the embossed seal, it needs to be seen and this will make it show better on the scan.

That’s it, this is all you need to do to get on the land and soil.  But…. why then are those ‘other documents’ listed on the Correct Your Status page?  Because…. these are documents you’ll need right after you become an American State National, so it is highly recommended that you do these at the same time as you do the above documents.

By having it completed right away, you can send it out as soon as you become an American State National. (More about this on Guide Steps 3 page.)
