The Common Law Movement That Is Changing The World | w/ Cal Washington

The first thing I'd like to say about this .. is make sure you understand "Common Law" before you get yourself into a problem you didn't expect. Common Law marriage is a valid thing .. my wife and I have been married since 1988 and we didn't get a "marriage license" from the state. We file our taxes together and she has my last name. The record of our marriage is in a local courthouse in the "Book of Deeds" for that year. No law enforcement officer will ask you for your marriage license or give you a fine for not having an update to your license. When you go out in public .. are you required to show that you have a marriage license .. or do they take your word for it? When it becomes common knowledge .. it is common lore .. or common law!

Another area that everyone should look into is the idea of a Home Funeral .. there are websites and videos that talk about these things. You need to follow local state laws .. but you can make your own casket, and dig your own hole, without going through a funeral business. If you look around for a community or church cemetery .. often you can get permission for free to bury your relative there .. or with a small donation. The average cost of burial through a Funeral Business is $5,000 - $10,000 .. who digs a hole and dumps that kind of money in and walks away. Truth is .. many do!

I first heard of Cal Washington from an interview Reinette Senum did with him. I was so intrigued, but left not quite understanding it all. Now you are bringing him and his work to our attention. I so wish to better understand how we as individuals anywhere in the world can make this happen - this idea of holding the perpetrators accountable and liable!! I'm in a small country in South America for half the year and in a small country in Europe the other half. I'd love to get the ball rolling in both places, but how, without a lawyer? I guess I need to somehow ask this of Cal Washington or his group. At any rate, thanks so much, Elsa, for bringing up this very amazing potential we somehow need to inform ourselves completely about! And then take action!
