with our "political status".

Who
Is Richard James, McDonald?
Richard James, McDonald is a
state
Citizen of California. Mr. McDonald is a former law enforcement
officer who stumbled across this information quite by accident but felt compelled
to investigate the issues related to law enforcement and status. Based
on results of Mr. McDonald's research, he took the extraordinary step
of renouncing his "US citizenship", (the reasons why should become clear
to the reader as they review the information posted here), by reclaiming
his "birth rights" and original political status, which by the way, is exactly
the same as the Founding Fathers who were
state Citizens, not "US citizens".
Unbeknownst to most people, the class termed "US citizen" did not exist
as a political status until 1866. It was a class and "political status"
created for the newly freed slaves and did not apply to the people inhabiting
the states of the union who were at that time
state Citizens.
"On the other hand, there is a significant
historical fact in all of this. Clearly, one of the purposes of the
13th and 14th Amendments and of the 1866 act and of section 1982 was to give
the Negro citizenship. . ."
Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co. (1967), 379
F.2d 33, 43.
"The object of the 14th Amendment, as is well known, was to confer upon the
colored race the right of citizenship."
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U. S.
649, 692.
Mr. McDonald is not a racist or bigot but merely wishes that the reader
understands that the class of people identified as "US citizens" were the
NEWLY FREED SLAVES ONLY as was the intent of the drafters of the so-called
14th Amendment. After their being recognized as people rather
than "animate property", they needed to be brought within the "naturalization
process" and afforded some rights. As anyone well knows, property has
no rights. Mr. McDonald has been educating people about these issues
for over 25 years.
“We have in our political system a government
of the United States and a government of each of the several States.
Each one of these governments is distinct from the others, and each has citizens
of it’s own...”
United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542
(1875)
“...he was not a citizen of the United States, he was a citizen and voter
of the State,...” “One may be a citizen of a State an yet not a citizen
of the United States”.
McDonel v. The State, 90 Ind. 320 (1883)
“That there is a citizenship of the United States and citizenship of a state,...”
Tashiro v. Jordan, 201 Cal. 236 (1927)
"A citizen of the United States is a citizen of the federal government ..."
Kitchens v. Steele,
112 F.Supp 383
The
Importance Of state Citizenship
Why is this important? Because the visitor should know that the
rules that apply to "US citizens" may be different that the rules that apply
to "state Citizens", and that the rights of one are not the same as the other.
For example, the "state Citizen" is NOT required to have a driver license
to legally use their car to go to the store to buy food or to attend their
place of worship, the "US citizen" is required to have a license to do the
same thing.
“The governments of the United States and
of each state of the several states are distinct from one another.
The rights of a citizen under one may be quite different from those which
he has under the other”.
Colgate v. Harvey, 296 U.S. 404; 56 S.Ct.
252 (1935)
“There is a difference between privileges and immunities belonging to the
citizens of the United States as such, and those belonging to the citizens
of each state as such”.
Ruhstrat v. People, 57 N.E. 41 (1900)
“The rights and privileges, and immunities which the fourteenth constitutional
amendment and Rev. St. section 1979 [U.S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 1262], for its
enforcement, were designated to protect, are such as belonging to citizens
of the United States as such, and not as citizens of a state”.
Wadleigh v. Newhall 136 F. 941 (1905)
Mr. McDonald educates people about the reasons why this is the so and what
they can do to reclaim their birth rights which are protected by the State
Constitution.
“...rights of national citizenship as distinct
from the fundamental or natural rights inherent in state citizenship”.
Madden v. Kentucky, 309 U.S. 83: 84 L.Ed.
590 (1940)
SUI JURIS. One who has all the rights to which a freemen is
entitled; one who is not under the power of another, as a slave, a
minor, and the like.
2. To make a valid contract, a person must, in general,
be sui juris. Every one of full age is presumed to be sui juris. Story
on Ag. p. 10.
Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 1856
INGENUI, civ. law. Those freemen who were born free. Vicat, vocab.
2. They were a class of freemen, distinguished from
those who, born slaves, had afterwards legally obtained their freedom
the latter were called at various periods, sometimes liberti, sometimes
libertini. An unjust or illegal servitude did not prevent a man from
being ingenuus.
Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 1856
JURIS ET DE JURE. A phrase employed to denote conclusive presumptions
of law, which cannot be rebutted by evidence. The words signify of
law and from law. Best on Presumption, Sec. 17.

What the visitor will find here is little known legal history about the people
of this country that is not taught in the public schools nor for that matter
in law school as part of the general curriculum.
MISSION
STATEMENT
Mr. McDonald is dedicated to educating the visitor about their secured rights
and how to defend them effectively by focusing on the common "traffic ticket".
No one likes being pulled over and being issued a NOTICE TO APPEAR for some
alleged violation of the Vehicle Code. The knowledge one has
regarding "how to" deal with the common "traffic ticket" will provide
the accused with all the basic legal knowledge to deal with virtually any
legal matter, this is because elements of law are generally the same
no matter what the allegation.
Sublata causa tollitur effectus.
Remove the cause and the effect will cease. 2 Bl. Com. 203.
Sublato fundamento cadit opus.
Remove the foundation, the structure or work fall.
