Police Seize ‘Sovereign Citizen’ License Plate
http://www.theindychannel.com/news/22813692/detail.html

Indiana’s ‘sovereign citizens’ renounce their U.S. citizenship, claim to secede from the Union.
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/03/04/sovereign-citizens/

The sovereign citizen movement claims that a person has the right under common law (or at least their bizarre sham definition thereof) to declare him/herself as essentially a nation unto themselves, and therefore may not be subject to the law of the land where they live. It is closely associated, among other things, with such extreme right wing causes as the tax protester movement and the militia movement in the United States.

ARTICLE #1: What is Sovereign Citizenship?
http://www.civil-liberties.com/pages/art1.html
What is Sovereign Citizenship? Sovereign Citizenship is the status held by our forefathers. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and everyone else who won their freedom from the British Empire had this status. It was the birthright of all Americans, and we were generous in extending this most important right to foreign-born persons through the naturalization laws. With this status, our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and property couldn’t be infringed. During the Civil War a method was discovered by the leading attorneys, financiers, and politicians of the day to deprive us of this status. Fortunately, we can get it back.

This brings us to the question, “What are we getting back?” What does it mean to be a Sovereign Citizen?

LOL. You just may be correct.

Right now it appears they are going after what they perceive to be the “soft targets.” The real fringe of the fringe. We are their goal.

Something for liberals to think about.

If it took millions of dollars and a pseudomilitary operation to take down 8 morons. Imagine how hard its going to be to take down the millions of us with IQs over 30.

Obama’s Alinsky tactics are not going to work for him this time. I wonder if this organization has been gaining new members since the news broke. I guess they should thank the FBI for the free advertising. Oddly, I felt an urge to laugh when I read this news.
