1. We are sovereign citizens.

No you’re not. You are a citizen of the United States (I hope) not a “sovereign citizen.”

And I know exactly what a “sovereign citizen” means.

Redemption movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Sovereign citizen)

The redemption theory is an American conspiracy theory created by Roger Elvick. The theory claims that when the United States government abandoned the gold standard in 1933, it pledged its citizens as collateral so it could borrow money. According to Elvick, the government creates a fictitious person (straw man) corresponding to each newborn citizen with bank accounts initially holding $630,000. The theory further holds that through obscure procedures under the Uniform Commercial Code, a citizen can “reclaim” the straw man and write checks against its accounts.[1] Its adherents sometimes call themselves “Sovereign Citizens”.
