We are NOT terrorists of any kind, not even "paper terrorists"; we will NOT be issuing bogus liens or fake court documents which some so-called "common law" groups apparently use to harrass their political opponents. We will NOT create any kind of counterfeit money or otherwise work to undermine any economy or government or country. We will NOT knowingly engage in or promote any illegal or immoral activities.

First, watch this short animated presentation which explains the principles of liberty in an entertaining way that most people can appreciate.

Our concept of Common Law is not what's called "English Common Law", and it's not any kind of religious law; it could be called "Universal Common Law" (and some of us feel that certain religious laws or guidelines are based on it or are forms of it).

This meetup group is to help promote the Common Law Institute and help it serve its members. The Institute's purposes include:

1. Learning about Common Law, Natural Law, and the Principles that America was founded upon, and teaching these principles and our Inherent Rights to ourselves and others, thereby restoring the educated citizenry necessary to maintain freedom;

2. Growing voluntary communities and networks of members worldwide who abide by these principles;

3. Growing our own free market gold and silver based economy within these networks (for voluntary use among ourselves) to help protect and enhance our prosperity no matter what happens to the outside world;

4. Developing our own voluntary court system to serve as an alternative dispute resolution service for our members and others interested, as appropriate;

5. Maintaining friendly or at least civil relations with our host countries, perhaps by helping reduce their court loads if they wish, but also by NOT bringing their crooked politicians and tyrants and war criminals to justice even if we wish we could (the de facto regime will probably collapse soon anyway);

6. Ultimately, becoming in essence a worldwide virtual country with treaties by which the other nations basically leave us alone so we get more of our freedom back, without causing major problems for our host countries; and

7. Finally, growing large, concentrated, and powerful enough to set up Liberty Districts, Free States, and ultimately our own free country somewhere suitable where we can all enjoy being free and responsible - but doing all this honestly, voluntarily, lawfully, legally, ethically, and morally.

Ideal participants would most likely score somewhere in the Libertarian area on the World's Smallest Political Quiz but need not be members of the Libertarian Party or any other party. The Common Law Institute is secular, which means strictly neutral on religion; secular does not mean anti-religion or Atheist. Members may have a wide variety of religious beliefs (including none) as long as they support the Principles here and here that we and America are founded upon. Thus, members may differ on exactly where, what, or Whom our Inherent Rights come from, as long as they agree that they are Inherent to our very nature as sentient beings with free will and therefore cannot be taken away by other people or institutions.

Check out http://www.lincolncou... and the videos by Schaeffer Cox about their ideas about a common law court and other things, they're quite similar to what we're doing here. His explanation of common law is in terms of 2 laws, both of which are included in our Non-Aggression Principle.
