Letter

Wayne Stump
State Senator
Arizona State Senate
Phoenix, Arizona
December 10, 1985
Ralph Milstead
Director
Department of Public Safety
State of Arizona
2310 North 20th Avenue
P.0. Box 6638
Phoenix, Arizona 85005
Dear Director Milstead:
It has come to my attention that numerous individuals in our state have rescinded all of their contracts with the United States federal government, the State of Arizona, and each of its political subdivisions, establishing themselves as “freemen” under the organic national Constitution of the Republic of the United States of America. Consequently, they may be driving without auto registration, driver’s license, or any other evidence of contract.
Because many law enforcement personnel may be unaware of the contractual nature of auto registration and driver’s licenses, it is conceivable that this situation may lead to confrontation between these individuals and law enforcement personnel.
I urge you to inform yourself and your personnel about this matter as soon as possible. If you would like to be briefed by someone knowledgeable on this subject, please contact me.
In the meantime, inasmuch as this procedure is entirely appropriate when properly carried out, I would like to be personally notified of every such instance of confrontation in order that the persons involved and the public officials involved may be apprised of the correct procedure and the appropriateness of their actions on the part of each concerned.
My office phone is 255-5261 and I am requesting to be notified of the names and incidents along with addresses and phone numbers of participants of any such confrontations arising from the exercise of a person’s freeman status in order to evaluate the outcome of properly rescinded contracts.
Sincerely,
Wayne Stump
State Senator

AI Summary

The Wayne Stump letter refers to a document written by Arizona State Senator Wayne Stump, which addressed various legal and constitutional issues. The letter was sent to the State’s Director of Public Safety, Ralph Milstead, and was also addressed to sheriffs, police chiefs, and other law enforcement agencies in Arizona. The letter discussed the concept of individuals rescinding their contracts with the United States federal government and the State of Arizona, thereby establishing themselves as freemen under the organic national Constitution of the Republic of the United States of America.

The letter also touched upon the contractual nature of auto registration and driver’s licenses, suggesting that some individuals might be driving without these documents, which could lead to confrontations with law enforcement. Additionally, the letter was part of a broader discussion on constitutional law and the principles of the “Republican” form of government.

In 1987, Stump wrote a “to whom it may concern” letter that outlined arguments against the Fourteenth Amendment and supported those who claimed they were not under anybody’s jurisdiction. This letter was later referenced in documents filed by Virgil Cooper, a self-described “natural individual” who sought to challenge the jurisdiction of government agencies.

A version of the letter was also notarized and made into an apostille (see below) in 2004. The letter’s content and implications were part of a larger conversation about the relationship between individuals and the government, with Stump acknowledging the need to draw lines in some areas despite his unconventional views.

“Made into apostile”

From AI:

An “apostille” is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document, such as a birth certificate, marriage license, or court document, for use in another country. The phrase “made into apostille” refers to the process of obtaining this certification to ensure the document is legally recognized abroad, typically under the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention.
To have a document “made into an apostille”:
  1. Verify Eligibility: The document must be a public document (e.g., not a private contract unless notarized).
  2. Prepare the Document: Ensure it’s an original or certified copy, sometimes requiring notarization first.
  3. Submit to Competent Authority: In the U.S., this is usually the Secretary of State’s office in the state where the document was issued. In other countries, it could be the foreign ministry or another designated authority.
  4. Receive Apostille: The authority attaches an apostille certificate, verifying the document’s authenticity.
The apostille confirms the document’s signatures, seals, or stamps, not its content. It’s required for legal processes like international adoptions, marriages, or business transactions in countries that are part of the Hague Convention. If the destination country isn’t a member, a different legalization process may apply.
