A.L.E.R.T. No. 1999-08-28 - WHO NEEDS A MARRIAGE LICENSE, ANYWAY?
===================================================================

The best question that budding (and engaged) patriots can ask themselves on this topic is this:

"Is our desire to marry each other a common law covenant of inalienable Right ordained and blessed by God, or a state regulated privilege granted by Caesar upon application for permission?" As we used to say in grade school "three guesses and the first two don't count!"

My best friend and now wife, Marlena, and I married each other on October 23, 1996. We had no "blood test" (we already knew we contained blood). We made no paperwork "application" to Caesar for a "license" for "permission" to wed. Heck, we just did it! (like Americans always used to). In a beautiful, emotional ceremony in front of a roomful of people.

Bill Huff, Sr. - editor of the Save-A-Patriot Fellowship's newsletter "Reasonable Action" - rendered an inspired rendition of the Lord's Prayer a capella in a basso profundo that left everyone sniffling and dabbing their eyes. You could have heard a pin drop. It was absolutely beautiful.

Afterwards, we made an entry in the family Bible and had several witnesses execute affidavits. Even typed ourselves up a real fancy looking "Marriage Certificate" with gold borders and all!

In case any bureaucrat should ever be so confused as to wonder whether we're "really" married or not, we even have it on video, including at the end when I scooped Marlena up in my arms and carried her back down the aisle and right out of the room!

The whole idea of applying to Caesar for "permission" to marry, then standing there at the altar with a straight face while the designated clergy proclaims the incantation "by the authority vested in me by the State of _______________ I hereby declare you man and wife", thereby in effect sprinkling "Magic Marriage Dust" all over the two of you and alleging that you're married ONLY BECAUSE "the Governor says it's OK" is comical if not ludicrous. Or, as a good friend commented, actually disgusting..

BTW, our marriage has stuck even without ohh-fisshul state approval ;-). And we now have a non-government-approved, five-month-old, bouncing baby boy with no SSN applied for, no birth certificate applied for, no spare parts removed that God intended, no injected innoculations of mysterious and experimental substances alleged to convey non-existent immunity, and nothing but Mommy Milk to account for his cheerful, rosy-cheeked good disposition.

Shucks, I guess now we'll have to home-educate him too. Perhaps Casear would like to come over for some history lessons! ;-)

A MESSAGE FROM GORDON TO FRIENDS OF INFORM AMERICA! -
=====================================================

Each week, our office receives a torrent of questions from fellow Americans struggling to get to the truth about their lawful duties and obligations with regard to the paying of income and employment tax, to tax withholding, to the requirement to file returns, to the use of the SSN and EIN, and far more. While no one, including us, has all the answers, our particular area of expertise lies in our understanding of the limited application of those taxing clauses in the Constitution which pertain to lawful taxation, and the statutes and regulations written pursuant thereto. For without a proper understanding of the constitutional protections afforded private property, or as Jefferson referred to it, "the Pursuit of Happiness", it is impossible to begin to understand Liberty itself.

Our mandate here at INFORM AMERICA! has, from day one, been to help educate our fellow Americans about their rights and liberties. To expedite that process, our staff takes the opportunity to share with those on this mailing list the answers to some of the best questions we receive each week.

If you have a question you'd like answered, please forward to it me at the e-mail address below and I or my staff will do our best to handle it. Special attention will be given to those questions with the greatest general interest to all.
