The 14th Amendment, which was ratified in the wake of the Civil War, overturned the Dred Scott decision, clarifying that the children of former slaves were citizens and entitled to constitutional protections: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

No, the 14th Amendment attempted to take the original power of creating equal rules for immigration and turn it into the ability to declare whomever they wanted to a 'citizen'.

It's a legalistic ILLUSION in order to turn everyone in federal citizens. If it had meant only slaves it would have said so.

The problem is that the 14th tried to take our inalienable rights that are based in the State and turn us into administrative-based 'legal entities'....thus denying us access to our natural personhood and subjecting us to whatever the current crop of congress-critters decided to roll down the pike.

We went from this:

§ 1218. The inhabitants enjoy all their civil, religious, and political rights. They live substantially under the same laws, as at the time of the cession, such changes only having been made, as have been devised, and sought by themselves. They are not indeed citizens of any state, entitled to the privileges of such; but they are citizens of the United States. They have no immediate representatives in congress.
Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution

To this:

"... a construction is to be avoided, if possible, that would render the law unconstitutional, or raise grave doubts thereabout. In view of these rules it is held that `citizen' means `citizen of the United States,' and not a person generally, nor citizen of a State ..."

Ever wonder why they say taxes are 'voluntary'? Because we voluntarily claim to be citizens of the United States

Ever wonder why illegals are 'special'? Because they are NOT citizens of the United States, they are still state-based 'persons'.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

We are helping to destroy our country by giving the federal governemnt a authority it was never intended to have. As long as the People aquiesce to being under federal juristiction, the States are helpless to do anything to rein in federal power.

How does one legally become just a state citizen and not a US citizen?
Especially after having paid income tax, property tax, et cetera?
If anybody has done this SUCCESSFULLY and avoided all the entanglements (income tax, property tax, etc.) without being thrown in jail, I’d love to know how they did it.
I ran into the “sovereign citizen” movement awhile back, in ‘93 or so... they never really came out and said what actually worked.
If somebody tells me, “don’t get your kid a birth certificate” I’d like to know how ANYBODY can get by in this day & age without one (Obama excepted, he’s got his own plane lol)
