Iowa GOP State Senate Candidate Joins ‘Alternative’ U.S. Government
http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/07/republic-of-the-united-states-of-america-united-states-corporation-randi-johnson.phpA Republican state Senate candidate in Iowa has decided to bow out of the race and become a U.S. senator of an alternative form of government.
In a letter released Friday, Randi Shannon informs supporters of her new position as U.S. Senator in the Republic of the United States of America. You see, according to Shannon, the U.S. government has been acting unlawfully as the official government, which clearly it is not!
The libertarian-leaning group she joined claims it re-inhabited the government on March 30, 2010. The group claims the United States Corporation unlawfully formed in 1871 without the American peoples consent. Since 1871, the abuses of this corporation upon both the international community as well as the American people are inestimable and unconscionable, the groups website claims.
In her announcement letter, Shannon outlined her political plans. As someone who home schooled her own children, Shannon supports abolishing the Department of Education. She opposes unnecessary foreign wars. She believes life begins at conception. And she blames government abuse, invasive TSA screenings, Obamacare, and the 14th amendment on the corrupt United States Corporation.

we are in serious trouble as far as parts of the next generation knowing diddly squat since the ones who taught them are lacking some rungs on their ladder.
They got short-sheeted in the mental department.

give them some land, see how long they last before they tear each other's throats out. Put all the "sovereign nation" people, birthers, teabaggers, and all the other delusional wingnuts there too.
