I love how Cal Washington starts. By saying that his first attempts to use the information that we are legal fictions just ended up getting him into the back of police cars and arrested. So, yes, we are legal fictions, but making claims on that basis didn’t work.
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!
In the old days .. when Abraham Lincoln was POTUS .. there was no State issued Marriage License .. people kept track of marriages by writing them in the front of a family Bible. That changed when slavery ended .. as the State didn't want blacks and whites marrying. Today, it's all about money .. you wear your white linen to the church and do your dirty laundry at the Courthouse. Isn't it odd .. a Pastor or Rabbi can join you in marriage as an official of the State .. but they are not allowed to give you a divorce.
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!
I will be getting more info. In the meantime, you can contact the group. I've given the link to his website. Maybe you can hold some people accountable. It has nothing to do with lawyers.
Interesting!
