California was named by Spanish explorers and claimed for the Spanish monarchy many centuries ago. 

California and Texas were republics of the Mexican Union of States and Spanish property law currently applies in these and other American States.  English is the common language in California and Texas and the English common law is the law in both places.

The original thirteen States formed the perpetual Union, the United States of America on March 1, 1781 when Maryland became the thirteenth State to ratify the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  The State of California joined the perpetual Union when her two Senators were admitted to the Senate of the United States of America.

The State of California was admitted to the Union established by the Constitution of September 17, 1787 on September 9, 1850 and according to Article 3 Section 1of its Constitution of 1879, “is an inseparable part of the United States of America and the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land.”   The State of California, an inseparable part of the United States of America, is both a government and that part of California, which is owned by the United States of America. 

The State of California does not recognize common law marriage, which is an unlicensed marriage between a man and woman, but does recognize the licensed marriages of the other 55 States of the Union established by the Constitution of September 17, 1787, which was ratified by the States, but not adopted by a government bound to support that Constitution.   

The Supreme Court of the State of California issued an opinion in a case that marriages between persons of the same sex were lawful and, therefore, should be licensed by the State of California.

Proposition 8, which defined marriage as only between one man and one woman, was approved by a majority of State of California registered voters and conforms with Title 1 United States Code Section 7. Definition of “marriage” and “spouse:” “

In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word ‘marriage’ means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word ‘spouse’ refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.”

Based upon these facts, the Congress of the United States of America recognizes the existence within the place called California two kinds of territory one owned by the United States of America and another owned by others not the United States of America. 

The decision and opinion rendered by United States district judge Vaughn Walker in the matter of the constitutionality of Proposition 8 is inconsistent with the Organic Laws of the United States of America and an act of the Congress of the United States of America.

The recognition by Congress and the refusal of the State of California and many other States of the United States to recognize common law marriage illustrates the nature of the Article I Section 8 Clause 18 ”exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever.”  The Congress of the United States has the power to recognize common law from outside the United States, but the States of the United States do not.

Because the officers of the federal government have never taken and subscribed a written Article VI oath “to support this Constitution,” the Constitution of September 17, 1787 has not been adopted for the United States of America.   The “exclusive Legislation” afforded by proprietary power of Congress trumps the un-adopted Constitution of the United States every time.

Has your state withdrawn recognition of common law marriage and is there a gay marriage movement in your state or has same sex marriage become a reality there?   Then you are in luck, if you want to claim your freedom.   The right to pick your marriage partner is a fundamental human right, so the attempt by the State to outlaw common law marriage and to license civil marriage is a clear signal that the State has unlawfully extended its power beyond the lands owned by the United States of America.

To take advantage of all the possibilities common law and gay marriage present, you must know law and government.  My Basic Course in Law and Government is the only one that will prepare you to take on the State government’s legal establishment.   To enroll, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The territorial jurisdiction of Chief Judge Walker is the land owned by the United States of America within the counties that comprise the Northern District, so Judge Walker’s findings are limited to that territory.

The legal result of the ruling is that same sex couples may marry in a place under the exclusive legislative power of the United States Congress.  Using that authority Congress has enacted Title 1 United States Code Section 7, the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which recognizes only a marriage between one man and one woman.

Judge Walker’s opinion is in direct conflict with an act of Congress, when one knows how to interpret the first sentence that appears in Chapter 5—District Courts Title 28 United States Code:  “Sections 81 - 131 of this chapter show the territorial composition of districts and divisions by counties as of January 1, 1945.”         

Sections 81 through 131 of Chapter 5 of Title 28 describe the territorial composition of the 48 States, the two Territories, Alaska and Hawaii; the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.  The only territory common to the 48 States, two territories, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico is land owned by the federal government, the United States of America, the Confederacy.

Knowing the proper legal territorial jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California is the only sensible way to understand the consequences of Judge Walker’s opinion.  My Students are the only law Students who are taught written law using all the Organic Laws and not just the Constitution of the United States.  If you are looking for a simple solution to a federal problem or a problem with one or more of the States of the United States, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

According to Glenn Beck, he never met a Founding Father he didn’t like.  Beck gushes over these men like school girls swoon over the latest music celebrity.  Beck may never end his love affair with these bewigged silk stockinged part time citizen statesmen. We, however, can take them exactly for what they were savvy men of business.

As leaders of American commerce, the so-called Founding Fathers hitched or rigged what passed for government in America to the rising star of American business enterprise, by taking the United States of America public.   The assets of the United States of America were incorporated in the United States Inc.  All went well until government started to be the rising star and that proved to be quite a drag, since it is a dead or dying star going nowhere but down.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 was hyped to Americans as a panacea for the kind of economic downturn we would call a recession.   Such recessions are part of the business cycle, but now they are the basis for governmental intervention.  Up to the time of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787, the government of the United States of America was as close as any government has come to being libertarian then George Washington found himself leading the secret Constitutional Convention of May 25, 1787.    

The official story of the historians who work at the Library built by Congress is that the Constitution of the United States replaced the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 on March 4, 1789, the date the Congress of the United States first convened.  No other historian disagrees with the historians at the Library of Congress.  No attorney I know has ever read the Articles of Confederation, so they would not know why the Articles of Confederation were replaced and not repealed.

The hype has always been that the Articles of Confederation were repealed, but that lie had to be modified because the Articles are still part of the four Organic Laws.  The Articles formed a Confederacy of sovereign, free and independent States so the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 wouldn’t do for the United States, which were not sovereign, free or independent. 

The Articles of Confederation were replaced by the Constitution of the United States, because the Union of United States is much less than the United States of America and that’s not hype. 

Veneration of the Founding Fathers violates the principle of not elevating men above law.  With the Founding Fathers out of the way of our research and investigation, we can reconstruct the crime scene, when the smartest men in the Constitutional Convention ended freedom in America.   Glenn Beck can’t teach you what he doesn’t know.  This is the only place in the world where you can learn  the truth about law and government came to be what they are.  To become a Student contact me, for a good laugh watch or listen to Glenn Beck.

A constitution is made of words, which many be very common such as “a,” “the,” “this,” and “all.”  The combination of simple words with the more complex words of any constitution will present us with complete English sentences, which can be subjected to grammatical analysis to discern their meaning.

How would a scientist examine the phenomenon of the Constitution of the United States and constitutional law?  Any scientist would use the scientific method to answer any question about the  Constitution or this Constitution.

Let’s take some known facts about this Constitution, which can be called observations and see if we can reach a scientific conclusion.  It is a provable fact that this Constitution expressly provides the exact oath to be taken by only one Officer: the President of the United States.  Another fact: George Washington was the first person elected to the Office of President of the United States of America, which is vested with the executive power in Article II Section 1 Clause 1.  On April 30, 1789 George Washington set the precedent for all future Presidents of the United States of America of taking orally the oath of Office of at President of the United States: “I, George Washington, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” “So help me God.”

How can we prove the hypothesis that the Office of President of the United States of America and the Office of President of the United States are separate offices?  Article I Section 7 of this Constitution describes the duties of the Office of President of the United States as legislative and Article I Section 1 vests all legislative Powers in a Congress of the United States. 

While we may not have proven here absolutely that these two Offices of President are executive and legislative, the value of the scientific method has been demonstrated. Countless observations remain to be made by my Students, to get in on the fun, you need to enroll in my Basic Course in Law and Government and to do that you must contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The federal government isn’t the President and Congress of the United States and the Supreme Court of the United States that just happens to be “the type of a particular activity or the manner in which the Government conducts it.”  The “it” is the administration of the United States and other property belonging to the United States of America.  The federal government is the United States of America, the Confederacy established by the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  The Constitution of September 17, 1787 spun the Articles of Confederation into the federal government and made possible the President’s administration.  The Federal Crop Insurance case should be read by anyone interested in limited government here is a piece of it:      

FEDERAL CROP INSURANCE CORPORATION v. MERRILL

It is too late in the day to urge that the Government is just another private litigant, for purposes of charging it with liability, whenever it takes over a business theretofore conducted by private enterprise or engages in competition with private ventures. Government is not partly public or partly private, depending upon the governmental pedigree of the type of a particular activity or the manner in which the Government conducts it. The Government may carry on its operations through conventional executive agencies or through corporate forms especially created for defined ends. (Citations Omitted)  Whatever the form in which the Government functions, anyone entering into an arrangement with the Government takes the risk of having accurately ascertained that he who purports to act for the Government stays within the bounds of his authority. The scope of this authority may be explicitly defined by Congress or be limited by delegated legislation, properly exercised through the rule-making power. And this is so even though, as here, the agent himself may have been unaware of the limitations upon his authority. 332 U.S. 380, 384 (1947)

The President of the United States, Congress of the United States and the Supreme Court of the United States are limited to the United States, its “government” and its citizens.  You won’t be free until you learn how to read and understand the law.  To get the information you need, you must enroll in my Basic Course in Law and Government, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

Before George Washington could become the first President of the United States, there had to be a United States he could preside over. 

The Declaration of Independence created a United States of America on July 4, 1776, but King George III was not sufficiently impressed to let the thirteen American colonies go free.   Great Britain would not let go of the Americans until the Treaty of Paris of 1783.  In the mean time, the thirteen States began organizing around the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 and by March 1, 1781 all those States were perpetually bound into the Confederacy known to this day as the United States of America.

The Americans, of course, won the War of Independence and lands south of Canada once claimed by the British, the Northwest Territory.  The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 made this former British territory permanently part of the United States of America Confederacy.  These United States, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota were the first States of a new Union of States, which belonged to the United States of America and were, also, of the United States of America.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 that comes out of a secret session of the Constitutional Convention of May 25, 1787 was part of the plan for there to be a “United States” for George Washington to be President of the United States of.  Before Washington can become President of the United States he has to be first elected to the Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 office of President of the United States of America on February 4, 1789, so he can appoint himself to the office of President of the United States.

As President of the Constitutional Convention, Washington knows that he must first be elected President of the United States of America by the State’s Presidential Electors before he can take the oral oath of office of President of the United States.  Those famous Framers of the Constitution have concocted an elaborate oral employment oath grander than the Article VI oath and almost poetic in its tone for the person, who is to fill the office of President of the United States. 

Only Washington and his confederates know that neither he nor anyone else will be eligible to the Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President until July 4, 1790.  Anyone with any political influence is in on the conspiracy to take over the Confederacy and replace it with a Roman Republic.

Many of these confederates have been elected to the first Congress, which will meet for the first time on March 4, 1789 in New York City.  It will be the responsibility of this Congress that all Americans know that this Congress is preparing the new oath of office for the new government and the oath will be the first Bill Congress passes and the first one George Washington signs as President of the United States.         

George Washington has made it possible for anyone to be President of the United States.  Thanks to George there are no age, citizenship or residency requirements for the office of President of the United States.  To be a President of the United States all you have to have is a voice.  You can even whisper the oath as George Washington did the first time he took the oath.

If a United States Representative or Senator is asked about the present status of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, that Representative or Senator will respond with the story the Library of Congress is putting out, instead of telling the whole truth.  Here is the federal government’s official Internet story of what happened to the Articles of Confederation:

The Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States, on November 15, 1777. However, ratification of the Articles of Confederation by all thirteen states did not occur until March 1, 1781. The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments. The need for a stronger Federal government soon became apparent and eventually led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The present United States Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation on March 4, 1789.

When my Students ask the local Representative or Senator about the Articles of Confederation, they get back the same story. 

Its their story and they’re sticking to it.

What is the whole truth?  What really happened on March 4, 1789?

The First Congress met on March 4, 1789 in New York City to do the only business it could do—make laws for the United States, the lands owned by the United States of America, which, also, was not replaced by the Constitution of the United States.  After the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, the American people were set free from government that ruled by written law, however, governments had to let go of whatever power they exercised over people and their lands.  Governments retained proprietary over whatever land was government owned.  The First Congress made laws for the  lands owned by the United States of America.      

June 21, 1788 was the date the State of New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify the Constitution of September 17, 1787.   That ratification established the constitution of the United States as any land within those nine States owned by the United States of America.  This Constitution of the United States consisted of all the land owned by the United States of America.  The documentary Constitution of the United States would be written by the Congress of the United States with legislation presented by the President of the United States and would be amended by the States, but never adopted by officers, who have taken an Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.”

On February 4, 1789, George Washington was elected President of the United States of America, however, instead of taking that Office immediately, as that Office required no oath of Office, Washington scheduled an inauguration to the Office of President of the United States, an Office which only required an oral oath. 

The Office of President of the United States was critical to the creation of a Constitution of the United States, because all Bills enacted by the House of Representatives and Senate must be presented to a President of the United States, who has taken an oral oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution of the United States.

 At noon on April 30, 1789, the United States would have both a Congress and a President of the United States, but it would not have a judiciary without the legislation Congress and the President would produce.  The Judiciary Act of 1789 would create a legislative United States Supreme Court.

The Library of Congress was correct; the Constitution of the United States would begin to replace the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 on March 4, 1789, but only on the land owned by the United States of America, the Confederacy created by those Articles of Confederation.

Today, Joe Sestak admitted that former President William Jefferson Clinton offered him a job which he immediately turned down, which strongly suggests a violation of the following law occurred:

    United States Code Title 18 Sec. 600. Promise of employment or other benefit for                    political  activity

      Whoever, directly or indirectly, promises any employment,

    position, compensation, contract, appointment, or other benefit,

    provided for or made possible in whole or in part by any Act of

    Congress, or any special consideration in obtaining any such

    benefit, to any person as consideration, favor, or reward for any

    political activity or for the support of or opposition to any

    candidate or any political party in connection with any general or

    special election to any political office, or in connection with any

    primary election or political convention or caucus held to select

    candidates for any political office, shall be fined under this

    title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

 The White House put out a version of the offer made to Sestak that made the offer appear not to meet the “benefit,” “special consideration,””favor” or “reward” part of the law. 

 In the story Sespak told today, the job he said he had been offered had morphed into a Presidential advisory position not created by an act of Congress, so the White House offer might avoid application of another part of the law.

 Students are taught the most important part of written law—territorial application.

The “Freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” found in the First Amendment to the Constitution for the United States of America, which is part of the Bill of Rights, is the kind of freedom that can be limited by the Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.”  This is the Congress of Article I Section 1: “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.”  Only the specific freedoms protected from legislative tampering are safe from Congressional meddling.  Where this Congress has power to make laws, there can be no Right to be left alone. 

The Right to be left alone is yours only, if you pick the other Congress, the United States in Congress assembled, which is limited by the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  To be unlimited in your freedom, you must decide to be an inhabitant instead of a citizen of a State or of the United States.

No other law course in the world teaches that the Right to be left alone is the unique form of American Freedom secured by the basis of all written law in the United States of America.  To begin my instruction, the Basic Course in Law and Government, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

On April 20, 2010 the United States Supreme Court struck down a federal law that made it a crime to make or sell videos of dogfights or other depictions of animal cruelty.  The Court’s 8-to-1 decision was based on the protection afforded free speech by the First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The first ten amendments were ratified by the required number of States on December 15, 1791, as the Bill of Rights.  These amendments were necessary to placate those, who at that time felt there was little to control Congress.   Such feelings were well grounded in law, but, unfortunately, not well understood.

There are two legal systems operating in the United States of America freed from monarchical rule by the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776: written and unwritten law.  The English common law is the unwritten law in 49 of the 50 states.   All written law is thought to be derived from the Constitution of September 17, 1787, which was first established on June 21, 1788.  The First Congress began meeting in New York City on March 4, 1789 and by June 1, 1789 had produced a statutory oath for the Government of the United States.  The Constitution of September 17, 1787, in Article I Section 7 imposes on the Congress the duty of presenting to the President of the United States all Bills, which have been passed by the House of Representatives and Senate.  Most certainly that process was followed with the animal cruelty video law that was just struck down.

The federal legislative process is itself a dog and pony show.  While the States have ratified the Constitution of September 17, 1787, none of the officers of the Government of the United States have taken an Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.”  Instead, the President of the United States takes an oral oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution of the United States, which is limited territorially to the land in each state owned by the United States of America.

Where does Congress get the power to make laws for practically anything it wants?  Where else would kingly powers come from, but George III, King of England, who relinquished all “Government, proprietary and territorial rights” collectively to the thirteen original States in the Treaty of Paris of 1783.  The King could only relinquish by treaty that which he possessed as the States were free of all law except the English common law. 

Those States lost all government power over Americans they had acquired through the English monarchy with the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776.  The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and Constitution of September 17, 1787 made it possible for both the States and a so-called national government to have a territory to which the “Government, proprietary and territorial rights” relinquished by the King of England could apply.

It would take a man with the personality of a king, but without a male heir to snatch hard won American freedom from the People.  The Constitution of the United States was the brilliant piece of work that has deceived millions, but it needed the People’s choice to get it started .  George Washington’s oral oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution of the United States didn’t include the dogs on the land owned by the United States of America, but, as government must grow or begin to die, it now covers pets and livestock.           

 The Supreme Court was a September 24, 1789 statutory creation of the First Congress to complete the three ring circus of a federal government.  This brief account of how America went to the dogs is intended to spark the interest of readers to discover how animals got to be more important than people.  If you want to find out in detail how the government got its power, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com  to become a Student.
