| TRAVELING OVERSEAS |
| PASSPORTS |
| As a Citizen of the first definition, the Republic of the combined sovereign States, you can turn to the government which provides services to the Republic for assistance. In this case, you can go to the "United States (lst definition)" embassy for help with passports and other important subjects. In this situation you do come under the jurisdiction of the President, through his agents in the "U.S." State Department, where "U.S." refers to the combined Republic, or sovereign Nation among the community of Nations in the world. |
| You can get a Passport from the United States State Department, and it will show that you are designated as a Citizen of "the United States of America." |
| This is proper. Now you can travel around the world, if you wish, utilizing the services of American Embassies in foreign countries, and exercising your God-given rights of Freedom and Sovereignty! |
| Notice that you are a Citizen of the "United States", just like someone else is a Citizen of France, or Brazil, or China. However, please notice that you are a Citizen with a capital "C". This is not the same as the citizen with a lower-case "c" who is a subject of the federal government. |
| Most people think that the tax statutes used by the Internal Revenue Service infer control over anyone who is a Citizen (with capital "C") of the "United States", but now you know that it only controls anyone who is a lower-case citizen. |
| CUSTOMS |
| After being outside the Union, when you return to the United States of America, you will be required to complete a "CUSTOMS DECLARATION" for the U.S. Customs Service. It's given to you aboard ship or on the airplane. |
| This declaration helps the United States Customs Service, a division of the Department of the Treasury, control what comes into the country .There are many things which we do not want to come into our nation. There are many parasites and diseases which are prevalent in some foreign countries which could seriously damage crops, plants and animals in the U.S.A. |
| Also, there is a control attempted for the flow of money. This supposedly is to combat the illegal drug trade, but it obviously has other ramifications for currency control. |
| The important aspect of this form for the sovereign Citizen, however, is the fact that when you sign it, you are attesting to the fact that you are a FEDERAL citizen! As you can see at the bottom of the back side, it states: |
| "I have read the above statements and have made a truthful declaration." |
| Item 5. asks for your "U.S." Address |
| Item 6. asks you to declare that you are a "U.S." citizen. The capitalization of "citizen" does not alter the value of the declaration. |
| Item 9. asks if you have visited a farm or ranch outside the "U.S." |
| Item 11. demands the value of items you are bringing into the "U.S." |
| On the back side, the text of the statements say that "U.S. residents" must declare value and pay duty . |
| As a sovereign Citizen, you are NOT coming into the "U.S." (defined in federal law as the District of Columbia), but are returning to the Union of States designated as the United States of America. |
| Therefore to correct this document so that it properly states what you wish to attest to, you can simply add an "A." to the "U.S." in the seven places circled on the form. These areas directly address location or nationality. Other references in the document address such things as "U.S. law" or the U.S. Customs Service. You do not need to alter these references. |
| You are declaring that your Address is in the U.S.A., you are a Citizen of the U.S.A., you reside permanently in the U.S.A., etc. |
| Now, when you sign the bottom line of the "CUSTOMS DECLARATION", you are properly attesting to the fact that you are a Citizen of the Union of States, not the "United States" (District of Columbia). |
| These seven simple corrections would best be done in matching ink (this form is usually in blue ink) so that it does not call attention to the changes for the Customs officer who reviews it. This will help avoid any kind of discussion or confrontation with a Customs officer who is not as well educated in these matters as you are. |
