As a
sovereign man or woman, you are the
king of your
kingdom which consists of your
mind,
spirit,
body,
house,
land and
property. Because you are the king, the government has no lawful right to tell you what to do, as long as you do not harm other people and their property. The problem is that most men and women are not sovereigns because they are registered voters. The hidden agenda of the voting system is to trick people to give up their crown, throne and kingdom to the government in exchange for government benefits.
Below is an excerpt from
The Errant Sovereign's Handbook written by Augustus Blackstone that does a great job of explaining why registering to vote causes you to lose your sovereignty.
