The Constitution of the Confederate States of America 1861 makes it clear that
only Confederate citizens may vote and in order to hold office a person must be a Confederate Citizen. Also, you know that
the government of the C.S.A. never surrendered and was never given a peace treaty by the United States (Federal
Union). Likewise, none of the 13 Confederate States ever surrendered, but they were forcible ejected from their State houses
by Yankee troops and were replaced by Washington appointees thus creating Satellite State governments and ignoring the Confederate
State governments of the people. Those men holding those legally elected Confederate State government offices simply died
away of old age leaving the legal governments of the people in those states and the offices therein dormant, but still existing
just as they were left in the national C.S.A. government offices.
Thus, to solve this problem legally and consistent with the Constitution of the
Confederate States of America, the Constitutional Court ordered the creation of a Office of Registration and outlined a plan
for the restoration and liberation of the Confederate States of America.
(1) Office of Registration was to be headed by a National
Registrar who would appoint State registrars and they would appoint County Registrars for the purpose of registering C.S.A.
Citizens to vote in a voter's registration drive. (A person can claim to be American, German or an Englishman and show his
birth certificate therein, but if he does not register to vote, he is not allowed to vote by that Country. That is a world
wide standard and the same held true for the Confederacy of 1860-1865 and, thus must hold true today as well. Otherwise, vote
fraud can run rampant with infiltrators even voting to destroy our efforts.)
(2) Interim government is primarily of Individual Citizens
and Constitutional Court Committees that are now running the Government and the Voter’s Registration Drive to recruit
new C.S.A. Citizens.
(3) Voter’s Registration Drive. Once a State has
enough C.S.A. Registered citizens from various parts of a State to be reasonably representative of the Confederates in the
State, those Citizens may call a Constitutional Convention for the Registered C.S.A. Citizens. Their neighbors will
not be able to vote unless they are also Registered to vote in Confederate elections as C.S.A. Citizens.
(4) Constitutional Conventions. At such a State
Confederate Constitutional Convention a minimum number of citizens for each State to vote shall be a quorum based
upon the Gideon number further explained later. The attending C.S.A. Registered Citizens will be asked to vote to uphold the
national Confederate States of America Constitution of 1861 and also to affirm their acceptance of the Constitution of their
own Confederate State of the 1861 era. Then they may elect their own Confederate Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General,
Secretary of State, Treasurer and a couple of delegates plus alternates to attend a later scheduled national Convention of
State elected delegates. That will legally re-staff the Confederate government of that State. However, that State government
will still be under occupation by the Federal Union and its respective surrogate satellite state government and the C.S.A.
Citizens will still be subject to such state and federal laws due to the illegal occupation.
(5) Transition of interim government Court Committees will
evolve into Constitutional Confederate State Governments as States begin holding Constitutional Convention and elect Governors
to replace the State Registrars.
(6) National Constitutional Convention of Confederate States.
At the national Convention, which will be held in Southaven, Mississippi (5 miles south of Memphis) in 2007, the State delegates
will first be asked to vote to accept the Constitution of the Confederate States of America.
(7) Reformation of the Senate. Next, the State delegates
from at least seven (7) States will be sworn in as Senators of their respective States by the Chief Justice of the Constitutional
Court.
(8) President and Vice President. The Senate will be asked
to elect a President and Vice President for an executive branch of the national government.
(9) Certification of Constitutional Updates for Ratification.
The Vice President will begin presiding over the Senate. the Senate will be asked by the Constitutional Court to consider
a number of propositions for updating the national Constitution such as removing references to slavery, and outlawing personal
income tax (involuntary servitude) for citizens. Such measures as are approved and certified by the Senate will then be sent
to the States for ratification or rejection. In this fashion the C.S.A. Constitution will be legally updated to current day
conditions.
(10) Cabinet. The President will begin choosing his cabinet,
including a Secretary of State, for Senate approval and the rudiments of the legal offices of the national government will
have been re-staffed with living people. Again, this will be a National Government under Occupation a government within the
occupational government making noise and building Confederate Caucus strength. In this early phase there shall be no salary
for anyone and we will not yet have the tax base of the various satellite States.
(11) Confederate Caucus. Major recruiting will then occur.
Much effort will then be spent in State held voter registration drives. (The national office of Registrar will be a depository
of Citizens, but the State Registrars jobs will be taken over by the Governors of each Confederate State.) It is expected
that a large influx of C.S.A. Registered Citizens will be recruited in each State and this, beyond just fortifying such State
with Citizens, will build a Confederate Caucus who can vote in the Satellite State elections (using their
American Citizenship) and place Confederates in the legislatures and other offices of the State including that of Governor.
Building a large Confederate Caucus can be likened unto putting flesh upon the resurrected dry bones spoken of Ezekiel
37:1-10. The breathe of life blown into them that they might live is like unto breathing the fire of the spirit of the Restoration
into them. that they might arise and stand on their feet to be an exceeding great army.
Remember, we do not need millions and millions of educationally reconstructed
people on our side, of whom only about 8% to 15% of them even bother to vote in non-Presidential years.
General Washington only had about 1% of the American people willing to openly
support him in his war of defense against the British Empire Military. As the war developed about 3% of the people supported
General Washington and the new government for the united States whose Constitution had been ratified in 1781. There were reportedly
about 100,000 monarchists and Tories who fled to Canada from the American Colonies rather than join with them against the
British. We won anyhow, and perhaps even better without those defectors called by the British as "Loyalists". Gideon
in the book of Judges defeated 135,000 Midianites with only 300 choice men and the Arm of the LORD. Therefore, we have determined
that with a core of 300 such men divided up by the Southern States, we shall, with the blessing of the LORD, bring the Restoration
and Liberation to pass.
(12) General elections will be scheduled for C.S.A. Registered
Citizens to vote for the C.S.A. House of Representatives thus forming the two house national Congress. This should occur sometime
a year or so later than the Southaven Constitutional Convention of Confederate States.
(13) Merging Satellite States into the Confederate States
once the Satellite State becomes Confederate controlled, their legislators can vote to merge into their existing Confederate
State thus formally refurbishing the Confederate State and eliminating the Satellite State and providing the Confederate State
with a tax base and an exceeding great army of State Guard Units and the Militia of the people. Surprise, see "Texas Senate
Resolution #526" passed in 1999.
(14) Liberation. On the heals of that move, such a Confederate
State can vote a Bill of Liberation which would include the Termination of Occupation by the Federal Union including Federal
Courts, Marshals, Federal Troops (excluding that State's National Guard which will be severed from Federal control), etc.
These strong measures must be undertaken the same week by at least 7 other States, thus forming a very strong coalition or
Confederacy. This would produce a Ukrainian-style standoff.
(15) Peace Treaty. We will have been requesting a Peace
Treaty from the United States (Federal Union) and be willing to hold beneficial and positive negotiations of friendship and
cooperation with the United States, Canada, France, Spain, Portugal, Ukraine, Central and South American nations and Mexico
in particular, but not excluding other peaceful nations.
We will be a nation of around 125,000,000 people, have close to half of the land
mass of the present United States and an economy that would place us as about the 6th or 7th wealthiest
nation in the world and a peaceful history of never having attacked another nation. Our military will be made up of the National
Guard units of some18 to 23 States making us a world class military power for defense.
(16) Christian Nation. We are primarily a Christian nation,
but offer religious freedom to other religions to practice and worship as they please so long as the rights of others are
not infringed, including the right not to be dictated to by tiny minorities due to complaints against majority expressions
of religious holidays or symbols. The Ten Commandments are the Civil laws given to the 12 tribes of ancient Israel through
Moses and were the basis for their statutes and judgments and later for much of Western law. The Ten Commandments should be
in every court house and schoolhouse of the land as should the Christian Bible as in the earlier days the United States. Our
emphasis on local and State rule returning our nation to the LORD GOD shall make us a free and happy nation and our citizens
will not be burdened with personal income tax.
(17) Citizenship requirements in the C.S.A. According to
the CSA Constitution of 1861applicants of 18 years old or more were required to be born in the South. Practice and allowance
by Congress permitted persons not born in the South, but who had lived in the South at least 6 months to also be eligible.
Citizens were required to be 21 years of age to vote. Thus today we require a copy of the birth certificate of the applicant
or proof of 6 months residency, a signed contract application, and $50.00 for the registration fee. There are no dues, but
voluntary donations are certainly needed.
(18) Young Under Age Warriors. From time to time different
young men who are under age teenagers (less than 18), but who are advanced in their knowledge of history and also have a strong
desire to see the Confederacy restored often write us for opportunities to take active part in the process. Unfortunately,
legalities prevent us from such recruiting. If their parents are active, they can participate under their direct supervision
and responsibility, but not under the Confederate States of America responsibility. There are Confederate organizations who
enlist cadets, perhaps with parental permission, for supportive activities and rallies, etc. To such young men, the Government
will be delighted to have them as Citizens when they are of age if they qualify.
(19) Checks and Balances. Plan of Government with Ten (10)
Checks and Balances.
1. Executive Branch - President and
Vice President both elected by the Senate.
2. Legislative Branch - Senate elected
by State Legislators & House elected by people in districts.
3. Judicial Branch - Supreme Court,
Appeal Courts between States, (State Courts under State Supreme Courts and not answerable to the national courts).
4. Constitutional Court with Jurisdiction over Constitution instead of the Supreme Court having such jurisdiction. Constitutional Court is made up of 3 - 9 Governors and/or State
Registrars (during interim period) who are elected by the CSA Council of Governors.
5. States as sovereign Republics with
State Regulated Militias, State and National Guard units and the right of nullification or secession. (State’s Rights).
6. CSA Council of Governors - Check
on Legislature & Budget approval & Resolve interstate disputes between States. Also, a check on Judiciary holding
rights to bring Impeachment charges against the Executive, Legislators, and Judges for trial before the Senate.
7. Juries of true peers.
(Not controlled by the Prosecutors). Juries were meant to protect citizens from abuses of government prosecution as well as
to protect the people from criminals. (Not controlled by the Prosecutors).
8. Sheriffs and their posses. Local
law enforcement. Sheriffs can deputize local people or Militia members of their County to serve under their direction in enforcing
the law and protecting the citizens.
9. The People’s unregulated militia. All able bodied men are part of the unregulated militia with ultimate power over the government which they
or their forefathers created. Declaration of Independence.
10.The Judgments from the LORD God with the Consequences of disobedience.
Ultimately, however, the responsibility falls upon individual citizens
to protect their own families and their neighborhoods and they should not necessarily depend upon others to do this. The individual
CSA Registered Citizen, by contract, shall be a fundamental unit of the Government and the ninth separation of power
in the checks and balances of our government operating individually as well as in groups or militias.
