MEMBER SUBSCRIPTIONS

1.  Introduction

Welcome!  This page describes the benefits of our Member Subscription Area.  The Member Subscription Area provides premium tools and services available only to Members who individually and annually subscribe by following the procedures in section 3 later..

Our Member Subscription is easy to use!  You only need to enter your password once during any give session.  Every access of protected information beyond that point reuses the username and password you typed in the first time.  Below is a tabular comparison of the features of Basic Membership with Member Subscriptions:

NOTE:  We do not offer a monthly subscription option.  The only interval we have is one year.  Our payment provider does not offer recurring billing services and it is too complicated and labor intensive to keep up to date manually.

   1.1  Download, print, and sign the SEDM Member Agreement.

5.  Reasons Why We Created a Member Subscriptions Area

Below is a list of reasons why we place specific materials in our Member Subscription Area.  Specifically, we want to:

1. Prevent and avoid being associated with any and all of the following types of people who might attempt to abuse our materials:

   1.1  Those who intend to use our materials to violate any law applicable to the jurisdiction where they are domiciled. Our member
         Agreement forbids this and they must consent to it before they sign up.

   1.2  Those who dislike or hate the government.  We are not anti-government but rather pro SELF-government.

   1.3  "Tax deniers", "tax defiers", or "tax protesters".  We don't protest "taxes", but crime.  We think everyone who uses government
          services should pay for what they use.  Likewise, we believe that those who don't want government services should not be
          compelled to either accept them or pay for them.

   1.4  Government moles.  We don't want to be infiltrated as a group by people who work for the government and who might become
          moles or informants who intend to harm other members.  Our Member Agreement prevents this sort of activity.

   1.5  Those who are ignorant and/or presumptuous about anything.

   “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge [ignorance].” 
   [Hosea 4:6, Bible, NKJV]

   1.6  Those who refuse to do their legal homework or research.

   “One who turns his ear from hearing the law [God's law or man's law], even his prayer is an abomination.”
   [Prov. 28:9, Bible, NKJV]

   1.7  Those who have commercial motives.  Such people are scared away by the prospect of having to pay any amount of
          money, even for things that might be valuable such as a Member Subscription.  Our Member Agreement forbids commercial
          motivations for using our materials.  None of the materials on this website are intended for a commercial purpose, but
          for religious, moral, and law enforcement purposes.

   "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

   But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”
   [1 Timothy 6:5-12, Bible, NKJV]

2. Ensure that we are not held to a higher standard than the IRS itself.  IRM 4.10.7.2.8 says that IRS publications, including the entire IRS website, should not be relied upon to sustain any position.  Our Member Agreement and our Disclaimer both require everyone, including the government, to apply the same standard of lack of accountability to us as the government enjoys. This ensures   equal protection and equal treatment that is the foundation of the United States Constitution.  This situation is further described below:

     Reasonable Belief About Income Tax Liability, Form #05.007

3. Prevent and avoid clogging the courts with unwarranted and erroneous lawsuits that use our materials filed by people who are not doing their legal homework.

4. Prevent and avoid clogging the IRS with erroneous administrative correspondence filed by those who are "taxpayers".  All of our materials pre-suppose that those who use them to correspond with the government are "nontaxpayers" who fully comply with our Member Agreement.  Those who don't would be committing perjury and needlessly burdening the government.

5. Ensure that those who use our materials are qualified to use them and have taken all the steps necessary to become sovereign BEFORE they use them.

6. Prevent and avoid being blamed by those who refuse to take complete, personal, and exclusive responsibility for themselves and all their decisions and actions.  Only the educated and the responsible can be free:

7. Prevent and avoid discrediting both us, our members, our ministry, and the God we serve by being associated with people who are not following the law nor following our Member Agreement in enforcing the law.

8. Prevent and avoid criticism of this ministry by the government or legal profession.  Our Member Agreement forbids anyone from engaging in any of the activities criticized in the following document and you can't obtain our tax materials without agreeing to the Member Agreement and complying with it:

     Policy Document:  Rebutted Arguments Against This Website, Form #08.011

9. To resource us to eventually be able to afford to offer additional premium services to our Subscribers, such as:

   9.1  A periodic newsletter.

   9.2  Expanded litigation support.

   9.3  Online video training.

   9.4  Video conferences and online meetings.

   9.5  A complete government based on our   Sovereignty Federation Government: Articles of Confederation, Form #10.003.  This
         would include an ecclesiastical court system that members can use to resolve disputes, and the ability to issue enforceable
         judgments against offenders.

10. Create a way to recoup the high cost of delivering and improving the vast legal information and tools available on our website.  We need resources to recruit and retain the talent required to produce the information and services offered by our ministry.

11. Ensure that this ministry and all our members provide the same equal protection to the government that we frequently demand from them on this website.  Our Member Agreement requires that every Member diligently study, learn, obey, and enforce the law equally on everyone to minimize harm or burden and maximize help to all those who are tasked with protecting us, whether in our group or in foreign governments such as the "United States".  In that sense, we are helping all governments to do their job for free.  You can only deserve what you are willing to give and earn.  We think that it is hypocritical for anyone to expect cooperation or protection from a court or any government that they refuse to reciprocate by protecting all governments equally from abuse.  This is not unlike the concept behind attorney licensing:  protection of the courts from abuse by litigants.
