    My favorite part is that he refuses to acknowledge being a citizen (or person or other legal fiction) of the United States but then invokes the United States constitution to argue for his rights.

      It is always funny/interesting the contradictory opinions that sovcits hold, but I just want to point out that the rights granted by the Constitution apply to anyone in the US regardless of citizenship or legal status. This is a good thing. This guy has all the rights even if he did manage to become stateless, they just don’t apply how he thinks they do.

      Everything else in our system is invalid, but RICO laws and mail fraud laws are all good. Good to know.

      Well, perhaps they are really called ‘Your Name Here’, who are we to judge? Why bother filling the ‘By’ field if the form already states their name, that’s just redundant. Think of all the time saved!

      I’m more confused about the 27th day of May 27. How exactly does that work?

        Ya I’m thinking now they just posted the template to not show their own info. But 27th day of May 27 makes it sound like they’re in for a long year

    Man, the “Your name here” text at the bottom of their letter really makes it all come together.

    I like the IRS jabbing the person by addressing them as “Taxpayer”.

    I am rubber you are glue - this sovcit doesn’t recognise you!

    Boogity Boogity boo - your ink isn’t blue, I’m a living person not accountable to you.

    I’ll take all your benefits, ignore all your laws - get your hands off me, pig - you’ve got dirty paws!

    Your authority I fought - and landed in court, I was tossed in prison - sovcit witchcraft isn’t a legal retort.

    If these “sovereign citizens” want to play their so called make beleive they should renounce their united states citizenship and move to no mans land

    It’d be funny to see how long they last then

    I’m glad I don’t live in america, it’s full of fucking crazy and bigoted people

    Sovcit about to find out being sovereign implies being able to nuke the IRS if you don’t want them to bother you.
