WE ARE
a leaderless network of cells and individuals devoted to the constructive dismantling and disruption of state power from top down
bound together only by recognition of the State as the enemy of the free, sovereign, self-reliant individual
libertarians, paleoconservatives, constitutionalists, minarchists, pacifists, classical liberals, anarchists, secessionists, free-staters, homeschoolers, autarchists, and individualists, as well as the politically orphaned, disillusioned, and unaffiliated
WE PLEDGE
open, public declarations and demonstrations of civil disobedience
peaceful resistance to all forms of centralized, coercive power
to refuse compliance with all unjust laws, in the tradition of King, Thoreau, and Gandhi
if ever seeking public office, to do so with the sole intention of exposing and neutralizing any presence of forceful coercion, theft, or invasion of privacy - in short: cut everything, no compromises
never to hide our faces or names, for non-violence and tempered reason shall be our cloak and shield
to uphold the virtue of voluntary association and non-aggression
to not allow religious, political, or economic prejudices to separate our efforts
to never willfully rescind our self-sovereignty
and to never engage in or endorse the use of violence or property destruction to spread our message
WE AGREE
that, fundamentally, centralized government amounts to little more than a controlled, corporate monopoly over all which lies in its grasp
if a self-appointed institution of law and order fails to adhere to the principles it enforces upon others, it is effectively lawless. such an entity must be restrained, replaced, restructured, and/or simply dissolved
that coercion by threat of physical force and pre-emptive acts of violence are universal wrongs, and are to be resisted at all times
one individual cannot speak for another, and therefore, it is immoral to take from one and give to another without their full, proven consent
that the legitimacy of government rests solely on the consent of the governed, and that any deviation from this principle results in an institution founded on slavery and violence
in order to truly prosper, we must free each of the fifty states from the clutches of the federal government
a voluntary network of small, sovereign states and municipalities will ensure more efficient and honest handling of day-to-day issues
that the use of violence is valid only in response to a human rights violation, and that one should always strive to avoid or de-escalate it when possible
attempting to keep 300+ million people all happy and contented under one banner is an exercise in futility, and bound to result in frequent catastrophe
that marketplace competition must be restored to any element of society of which it has been robbed
engaging in an act of coercion-by-proxy is no less immoral than a direct act of coercion
extending control of any kind - whether it be democratic or autocratic - over too large a landmass and too great a number of people, is an endeavor that is doomed to failure
if one's actions do no harm to another, then no crime has been committed
