07/28/2026 To All Civil Officers And Magistrates Who Claim Jurisdiction Over The Living Man Issued by me, myself, I, living soul, man. One of the People of Tennessee, first and foremost a Tennessean of sound mind, above the age of majority, in propria persona, on the land and soil, under the law of nature and of nature’s Creator, and the American common law, without prejudice, non assumpsit. This Seventh Month on Twenty-Eighth Day In The Year Two Thousand And Twenty-Six. To All Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greeting: Be it known that I, living man, free inhabitant of this land and soil, standing upon his natural and unalienable rights, do hereby publish and declare this Notice to all public servants, officers, and magistrates, whether elected, appointed, or employed, at any level of government, who claim or exercise authority over the persons, property, or liberties of free men and women. Whereas, the just powers of government are derived solely from the consent of the governed, as solemnly declared in the unanimous Declaration of the united States of America, and all rightful authority is delegated by free men, under the Law of God, the law of nature, and the American common law; and Whereas, no free man can be bound by any statute, rule, regulation, or decree to which he, personally and explicitly, hath not assented by a lawful, voluntary, and fully informed compact, manifested by his own hand and seal; and Whereas, the officers of the general government and of the several states have, in these late days, asserted a pretended authority over the bodies and souls of living men, demanding compulsory registration, conscription into military service, and involuntary servitude, without any contract, without consent, and in direct violation of the laws of nature and of this realm; Now, Therefore, I do by this instrument serve formal, lawful, and honorable Notice upon all who read these words, and especially upon all who bear the sword or the mace of office, that their authority is strictly limited by the consent of the living men over whom they would exercise dominion, and that any act performed without such consent is a trespass, a violation of the great law of nature, and a nullity from the beginning. Repudiation Of All Statutory Presumptions And False Personae I do expressly and utterly repudiate, disavow, and challenge any and all presumptions, fictions, and artifices by which an officer might seek to bring me within the jurisdiction of a statutory, corporate, maritime, or administrative tribunal. I declare before God and man: That I am not a “citizen of the United States,” a subject or franchisee of any corporation, state, or federal. I am man, one of the people, a living soul under the sovereignty of God alone. Any statute applying to “citizens” as subjects of a consolidated government hath no force upon me. That I am not a “taxpayer,” a “resident,” a “person,” or any other artificial creation of statute; these are terms of art belonging to the world of corporate fictions, and I am a living being, created in the image of his Maker. That no court, agency, or officer hath jurisdiction over my person or my property without my express, voluntary, and intelligent consent, given in writing under my hand, in a matter of record. That no act of mine, whether silence, inaction, or the use of a post office, a public road, or any instrument of commerce, shall ever be construed as an implied contract, a joinder, or a submission to any statutory system. That all “constructive notice” and “constructive service” is a fraud upon the American common law, which requires actual, personal notice and an opportunity to be heard. That I forever challenge and refuse any merger of my living being with any legal fiction, any all‑capital‑letter entity, any trust, or any corporate person. He who asserts such a merger must produce before a common‑law jury the original, wet‑ink contract bearing my signature and proving my full and knowing assent. Any public servant who proceeds upon such presumptions, without first exhibiting the compact by which I have consented, acts as a wrongdoer, an intermeddler, and a trespasser, and shall be held to strict account. Declaration Of The Trespassing And Usurpations Of The Present Age I do now, in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, set forth a candid list of the repeated injuries and usurpations which the officers of this government have committed and do commit against the unalienable rights of free men and women. 8. The Usurpation of Powers Not Delegated. The servants of the general government and of the several states have enacted and enforced statutes, codes, and regulations which exceed the powers delegated by the Constitution, and which invade the natural rights of life, liberty, and property, rights which no compact can alienate. They have erected a multitude of new offices and sent swarms of officers hither to harass our people and eat out their substance. 9. The Unlawful Classification of Free Men. They have presumed to label a living man as a “citizen,” “resident,” “taxpayer,” “driver,” “licensee,” “registrant,” or “alien,” thereby imposing duties and disabilities that can only attach to artificial persons created by statute. A living soul is not and can never be the subject of a legislative grant. 10. The Compulsory Enrollment and Conscription of Free Men. They have established a system known as the Selective Service, under which they require every male “citizen” and “immigrant non‑citizen” between the ages of eighteen and twenty‑five years to register his name and person for a potential military draft. This pretended authority rests upon no compact, no consent, and no lawful contract. It is an infringement of the natural right of every man to control his own body and to choose his own service. The threat of a general draft and a special‑skills draft, and the assignment of conscientious objectors to alternative labor, is a species of involuntary servitude, contrary to the law of nature and the customs of free peoples. Furthermore, they have declared that from the 18th day of December in the year 2026, they shall automatically enroll the names of young men into this registration, using other government databases, without the knowledge or consent of the living man, thereby effecting a constructive enrollment by stealth, an act of amalgamation and fraud that makes a mockery of consent and joins the living being to a statutory fiction without his act or deed. 11. Compulsory Performance and Reporting Without Contract. They demand that a free man, once registered, shall notify the Selective Service of any change of address within ten days, under penalty of law. This is an obligation imposed without a contract, requiring a man to continually report to his would‑be masters. No free man can be compelled to perform any act of service or to make any report except upon a valid contract, entered into freely and with full knowledge. 12. Exacting Fines, Fees, and Penalties Without Jurisdiction. They have imposed fines, penalties, and the threat of imprisonment for the refusal to comply with these pretended registration and service schemes, all without having established personal jurisdiction by consent, and without the due process of an American common‑law court composed of a jury of the vicinage. 13. The Deprivation of Unalienable Rights by Legislative and Executive Decree. They have, by executive order and legislative act, restricted the free exercise of worship, the right of the people to assemble peaceably, the liberty of speech and of the press, the right to travel upon the soil, and the right of parents to direct the upbringing of their children, all of which are natural rights that no government may abridge. 14. The Unauthorized Recording and Profiling of Free Men. They have created vast registries, databases, and records, linking the name of every living man to commercial and government files without his consent, thereby clouding the title to his estate and making merchandise of his good name. Each of these acts is a trespass upon rights bestowed by the Creator; each is a breach of the compact under which the government was instituted; and each is an intermeddling with the private affairs of free men, rendering the officers who commit or uphold them personally liable. Demands For Correction And Restitution Therefore, I do hereby demand of every public servant who hath been instrumental in the commission of any of the aforesaid trespasses, the following acts of cure and restoration. All demands must be fully satisfied within ten (10) calendar days from the receipt of this Notice, unless a longer period is stated and agreed upon in writing. 15. Immediate and Perpetual Cessation. Cease and desist forever from the enforcement of any statute, regulation, order, statutes, act, ordinances, and or codes or policy that gives effect to the trespasses herein named. This includes, with special urgency, the cessation of all Selective Service registration activities as applied to any living man who has not given his explicit consent, the immediate abandonment of the planned automatic database registration to take effect on the 18th day of December 2026, and the termination of all conscription plans and contingency preparations based upon such unlawful registrations. Let the officers issue a public proclamation, under oath, acknowledging this cessation. 16. Delivery of a Sworn Affidavit of Correction. Let every responsible officer deliver to me, under his hand and seal, a sworn affidavit before a justice of the peace, stating: a. The precise source of the authority he claims, whether by organic compact, oath of office, or lawful delegation from the sovereign people; b. An admission that any act performed without my individual, wet‑ink consent was ultra vires, void ab initio, and a trespass against my person and rights; c. A solemn promise that he will never again presume to exercise such authority without my explicit consent. 17. Expungement of All Records and Registries. Let them physically and digitally expunge, erase, and destroy all records, registrations, and entries that have been created or kept without my consent. This shall include, with particularity, any and all Selective Service registration records, whether entered by a young man under duress, or automatically generated by the Selective Service System or any government database on or after December 18, 2026. Let them deliver a written certification of such expungement, attested under penalty of perjury. 18. Full Restitution, Making Me Whole. Let full restitution be made for any loss, injury, or damage which I have suffered by reason of these trespasses. This includes the return of any property taken, the repayment of any fines or fees unlawfully extracted, and just compensation for the violation of my natural rights, my time, and my peace. Restitution must restore me to the condition I would have enjoyed had the trespass never occurred, and it must be done nunc pro tunc. 19. Production of the Original Contract. For any claim that I am bound to register, to serve in a militia or army, or to perform any other duty, let the officer produce the original, wet‑ink, bilateral contract, bearing my autograph, made with full disclosure, and showing my knowing and voluntary assent. If no such contract exists, as in truth it does not, let him confess the same in writing and abandon all attempts at enforcement. Let all responses be directed to the address below, in writing, under oath, and with proof of service upon me. Penalties For Failure To Cure: Notice of Default And Liability Should any public servant neglect or refuse to perform the demands herein within the time appointed, the following consequences shall be deemed confessed and shall attach automatically, without further process, by operation of the American common law and Lex Mercatoria/Law Merchant: 20. Default and Estoppel by Silence. According to the ancient maxim, He who is silent when he ought to speak is deemed to consent, and He who does not deny, admits; silence or a failure to make specific reply shall operate as an admission of the truth of all statements herein. The matter shall stand as a matter of record, unrebutted, and shall bind the officer in conscience and in commerce. 21. Agreement to Pay Damages. The failure to rebut or cure within the stated period constitutes an irrevocable agreement by the officer to pay damages for the trespasses, as calculated under law merchant and the American common law, including restitution, interest, and such further damages as a jury may assess for the violation of natural rights. 22. Administrative Fees for Continued Trespass. For each day that any officer continues to use my name, ens legis persona, or intestate estate without lawful authority, there shall be due an administrative fee of $______ (to be fixed by the living man), payable in gold or lawful coin within three days of written demand. Such fee is a debt of honor and may be enforced by all lawful remedies. 23. Charges as a Wrongdoer and Intermeddler. Every officer who intermeddles in the private affairs of a free man without consent is a trespasser and a wrongdoer. He shall be charged as an executor de son tort, one who takes upon himself the administration of another’s affairs without authority, and shall be personally and unlimitedly liable for all damages, including punitive damages, to the full extent of his person and property. 24. Escalation According to the Lawful Process. If this Notice be not honored, the matter will proceed stepwise through the honorable administrative process: a. A second Notice of Fault and Opportunity to Cure. b. A third Notice of Default and Dishonor. c. An Affidavit of Non‑Response, recorded as a common‑law judgment in the public registry. d. Enforcement by writ of mandamus, common‑law lien, or other lawful remedy. e. If necessary, a demand for a full accounting under the principles of the accounting art, with notice to the auditors and sureties of the officer. 25. Reservation of All Remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive my right to seek remedy in a court of common law, before a jury of my peers, for the trespasses complained of, nor to pursue private criminal prosecution under the law of the land. I reserve the right to call upon the posse comitatus and the militia of the county to enforce the common law if the regular officers fail in their duty. Solemn Affirmation And Incorporation Of Maxims This Notice is founded upon the unchangeable maxims of the American common law, which are the perfection of reason, commanded by God, and received by the people of this land. I incorporate by reference these principles: 26. No man is bound to accuse himself or to give evidence against his own interest without consent. 27. An act done without lawful authority is a nullity. 28. He who consents cannot receive an injury, but where there is no consent there is an injury. 29. The law of nature is the will of God, and no manmade law may contradict it. 30. A compact without consideration is void; a compact without full consent is a fraud. Testimonial And Declaration I do set my hand and seal, free living man, of sound mind, on the land and soil, sui juris, in propria persona, non assumpsit. I declare that the statements herein are true, according to the best of my knowledge and belief. This Twenty-Seventh Day In The Year Two Thousand And Twenty-Six. By: [Name], living man, in propria persona Two Witness Attestation We, the undersigned, of lawful age, competent to testify, and knowing the said free man personally, do attest that we have seen him autograph his name to this Public Notice, and we affirm, under the pains and penalties of perjury, that the matters set forth are true to the best of our knowledge. Name: Autograph: Date: Name: Autograph: Date: Notice Regarding Stamp In accordance with the custom of free men, a revenue or postage stamp shall be affixed to the original of this document, canceled by diagonal marks by the living man.
