VeryGnawty, I am afraid that Tekla is correct. When you accepted your Social Security number you entered into a contract with the Federal government and VOLUNTARILY agreed to be bound by them and their statutes and regulations etc.
The Federal government was only seeking to contract with you when it informed you of your SS number. You could have rejected that number and thus refused to contract with the government. However, you and millions like you were under the false belief that you had to possess a SS number to be able to work: you don't! The government tricks you into contracting with them, then if you make a fuss about this, the government likes to turn around and state that you voluntarily entered into a contract with them, and here is the thing you DID voluntarily enter in a contract with them. They will say that nobody forced you to accept the SS No that THEY issued you. You were free to reject the offer to contract.* Forced contracting is illegal, nobody can force you to contract with them. What the government does is it makes you a contract offer(in the guise of accepting an SS number) you don't realise that this is an offer to contract and you believe that you need said number to work legally so you do nothing. You don't reject the SS number within the legally approved period of time and the government then claims that you have agreed to the contract by tacit acquiescence.
Many people seem to believe that if you don't sign anything then you haven't entered into a contract. However, contracts can be assumed to exist between parties if you verbally agree(in front of of people who could be called as witnesses) and by behaviour.
When your credit card company sends you a letter stating that they are going to be increasing the interest rate on your card, or increasing your credit limit, or the minimum amount that you must repay each month. Many people just throw this letter in the bin. To change the terms & conditions between contracting parties, the party that wishes to make the changes must 'notice' the other party(ies). That 'letter' from the CC company was actually a notice. you have been noticed. If you do nothing about this notice them you will be judged (in court) to have voluntarily agreed to the new contract and there will be nothing you can do about it afterwards. Of course in the case of a CC company you can either pay off the balance owed or switch your balance to another CC company of your choice.
You can renounce your current 14th Amendment status by issuing a Notice of Understanding and Intent and a Claim of Right.** This document should state - with a great deal else - that your contract with the government created by your birth certificate and further strengthened by your accepting of their SS number is void ab initio due to their failure to fully disclose.
Anyone interested in learning much more about all this should google: Rob:Menard, fmotl, Freeman on the Land. Look up and watch on YouTube and Google Videos Rob:Menard's two excellent films: Bursting the Bubbles of Government Deception, and The Magnificent Deception.
* There is an old maxim in law which states: Let he who would be deceived be deceived. In other words if some other party takes advantage of your ignorance of the law then the law will do nothing about it. The law takes the view that everyone knows the law so no one can claim ignorance when it comes to legal dealings. This knowledge of the law that Judges assume was true when there where only four laws: (1) Do not physically harm anyone. (2) Do not steal from or deprive anyone of their property. (3) Do not damage anyone's property. (4) Do not employ mischief(fraud) in your contracts. Today there are millions or laws, statutes, Acts, by-laws, ordinances etc so ignorance of the law today is commonplace. Always remember that the government is a predatory corporation that seeks at all times to wring, money, property and other assets from the public. The government makes the Mafia look like rank, bungling, ineffectual amateurs. The government is running one huge protection racket and Ponzi scheme.
