The Liberty Restoration Act

The Liberty Restoration Act

An Act enforcing the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution

Preamble

The American people, pursuant to the taxing powers that started with the Social Security Act of 1935, have been trapped in a process of increasing servitude since 1937 when the income tax laws were perverted to begin taxing labor at one percent. This has led to an institution of slavery enforced by arbitrary law where taxes upon labor, garnishments upon labor, fees imposed upon labor as a condition of contracting labor, and other badges of servitude are imposed without restraint upon the people at all levels of government within the United States. Therefore, to remedy these unconstitutional abuses of power, the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, hereby enact this legislation to restore to the people their inalienable rights as secured by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.

Section 1. All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States; and such citizens, of every race and color, shall have the same right, in every State and Territory in the United States, to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, and give evidence, to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real and personal property, and to full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of person and property, and shall be subject to like punishment, pains, and penalties, and to none other, any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 2. All badges of servitude are hereby prohibited from being imposed upon any citizen of the United States without conforming to the due process of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution. All laws at any level of government in the United States that imposes any badge of servitude are hereby declared unconstitutional and void by this Act, and all laws that may be passed after the passage of this Act that impose any badge of servitude upon any citizen of the United States shall be declared unconstitutional and void by the federal courts, and the 11th amendment of the United States Constitution shall not shield any State from suit concerning the enforcement of this Act. Badges of servitude are defined as:

(a) The denial of the right of a citizen to contract their labor in a free labor market and the denial of the right to enforce labor contracts;

(b) The denial of a person to be paid in full for providing their labor, whether in the form of wages or by some other form of contract. No law shall impose a fee or license upon a citizen as a condition of contracting their labor, and no law or judicial order shall determine the allowance a person receives for providing their labor without respecting the due process of the 13th Amendment;

(d) The denial of the right to counsel and a jury trial in any court action that results in incarceration;

(e) The denial of being issued a passport;

(f) The denial of the right to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real and personal property;

(g) The denial of citizens to peaceably assemble in the free exercise their religion. No law requiring a fee or license shall be imposed that impairs this liberty;

(h) The denial of access to the courts in the enforcement of constitutional rights;

(i) Assigning numbers to children at birth that lay claim upon the child's labor at birth.

Any person who imposes a badge of servitude in violation of the due process of the 13th Amendment upon a citizen shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law and subject to the criminal penalties of Section 4. People may voluntarily impose servitude upon themselves to participate in government sponsored programs or to be members of labor unions, but governments and labor unions may not force the servitude upon them.

Section 3. The right to free labor, pursuant to the principles of the Declaration of Independence, is an inalienable right. Compensation paid for providing labor, which is usually in the form of wages, is not income within the meaning of the 16th Amendment. Researching the Congressional Globe, 37th Congress, proves this. The fiction that compensation for labor is income has developed since taxation upon labor began in 1937. This fiction of law is hereby declared void by this Act since determining the allowance a worker receives from providing their labor is a badge of servitude. The meaning of income is still consistent with what income was viewed to be in 1861 when federal income taxation had its roots. All payroll taxes shall cease when this Act becomes law. All garnishments or others burdens imposed against the labor of citizens of the United States, except for those garnishments and other burdens that have already conformed to the due process of the 13th Amendment, shall cease when this Act becomes law. Any person, after this Act becomes law, who, under color of law, imposes taxation, garnishment or other burdens against the labor of any citizen without first respecting the due process of the 13th Amendment, shall be subject to the criminal penalties in Section 4. Any judge that carves out exceptions to the 13th Amendment, for any reason whatsoever, shall be guilty of violating the constitutional provision found in Article III, Section 1, where judges "shall hold their offices during good behavior," and such judge shall be removed from office if found guilty in impeachment proceedings pursuant to Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States.

Section 4. All persons in the United States who have been forced into servitude in violation of the 13th Amendment shall be emancipated on the date this Act becomes law. All persons incarcerated in the United States whose incarceration was not the result of punishment for crime after conviction shall be released from their incarceration when this Act becomes law. Any person who, under color of law, re-enslaves and/or re-incarcerates any citizen without first respecting the due process of the 13th Amendment, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, shall be punished by fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, in the discretion of the court.

Section 5. After the passage of this Act, participation in the Social Security system shall be voluntary. Social Security Numbers may be rescinded by those wanting to opt out of the system. The practice of assigning newborn children Social Security Numbers is abolished. For the people who opt out of the Social Security system, the Social Security Numbers that are now imposed upon them shall be renamed Credit Reporting Numbers, or CRN's for short. All children who have not come of age to begin working shall have their Social Security Numbers rescinded.

Section 6. The people shall be given a clean slate. All past due taxes, interests, and penalties; all past due child support, interest, and penalties; and all other financial burdens that have been imposed upon labor in violation of the due process of the 13th Amendment are wiped clean and are void after this Act becomes law.

Section 7. The district courts of the United States, within their respective districts, shall have jurisdiction to enforce the criminal and civil provisions of this Act.
