Join the Continental Marshals Service (CMS): Help Shape the Future of State Assembly Vetting

In the ongoing effort to strengthen and legitimize the Federation of States-sponsored State Assemblies, the Continental Marshals Service (CMS) has faced critical challenges: recruiting dedicated individuals to join their vetting service ranks.

For over two years, CMS has been at the forefront of providing a durable, unbiased approach to vetting State Coordinators, a role somewhat akin to what the PKTF - Assembly Liaisons provide within The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF).

However, despite the importance of this mission, CMS has struggled to attract the necessary interest and participation to conduct this service on time.

Federation Vetting Form – The Continental Marshals Service

The Current Mission of CMS

CMS is dedicated to ensuring that State Coordinators are thoroughly vetted to maintain the integrity and safety of each State General Assembly. This process is crucial for bridging the gaps between State General Assemblies and the Federation of States, as well as ensuring jurisdictional validity through the assembling process. The CMS vetting process involves a rigorous, albeit highly streamlined, and fair evaluation method to help ensure that only the most suitable candidates are recommended for the role!

The Current Challenge

One of the primary hurdles CMS faces is the significant lag in turnaround time between setting up an account by current and interim State General Assembly Coordinators on their landing site and scheduling an interview for such Coordinators. This catch-22 situation has hindered the efficiency of the vetting process, delaying the critical work of helping to ensure that State Assemblies have the qualified Federation Liaisons they need.

Why Your Help is Needed

At this moment, CMS is not engaged in missions related to international crimes or deployed on-field operations. The primary mission, and one that has been ongoing for over 26 months, is the vetting of State Coordinators. This is where you come in.CMS urgently needs individuals who are willing to participate in conducting interviews to qualify State Coordinators and co-coordinators. If you are passionate about contributing to the integrity and effectiveness of other State Assemblies across our great nation-states, this is an opportunity to make a significant impact.

What You Can Do

• Conduct Interviews: CMS is seeking volunteer Chiefs to conduct interviews, a process that is both pleasant and rewarding. These interviews are essential for ensuring that State Coordinators meet the high standards required for their roles.
• Spread the Word: If you feel you are not a suitable fit for this role but know someone within your Assembly who might be, please spread the word. CMS is actively seeking Postal Area Chiefs and Deputy Postal Area Chiefs, as well as potential State Chief Continental Marshals who can facilitate these interviews.
• Understand the Vetting Process: By participating, you will gain a deep comprehension of what a proper vetting process looks like, valuable knowledge that can benefit your State Assembly in the long run.

The Benefits of Joining CMS

• Contribute to Assembly Safety and Jurisdictional Validity: By helping to vet State Coordinators, you are directly contributing to the safety and legitimacy of other State General Assembly Liaisons.
• Gain Valuable Experience: The vetting process is a complex and important task that requires careful evaluation and a fair measure of opinion. Participating in this process will provide you with valuable experience and skills in future roles - even outside of CMS.
• Be Part of a Critical Mission: Until more State Assemblies are fully Seated and operational, the primary mission of CMS remains the vetting of State Coordinators. Your participation is vital in this endeavor.

How to Get Involved

If you are ready to make a difference and help CMS overcome the current recruitment challenges, here are the steps to take:

• Contact CMS: Reach out to CMS directly to express your interest in participating in the vetting process. Federation Vetting Form – The Continental Marshals Service

Thank you to Everyone Who Has Donated to our Peacekeeping Efforts

 During May, 2024 The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) began accepting direct donations to our peacekeeping organization. Since then we have received several donations from various anonymous supporters along with several nominal amount donations from some folks we know by name.

Very early on, our peacekeeping team also accepted limited donations to briefly pilot a Family Relief Fund project - of which the project, as an emergency service concept went well, but is now closed down for refinement and future reimplementation.

May of this year is when we began taking in direct donations for general purposes only.

Since then, we have received a cleared total of $331.46.

A most sincere thank you goes out to everyone who has donated, as well as to those who have sent us kind emails sharing inspirational words of encouragement!

None of these funds have been utilized at this time. All operation costs, Information Technology maintenance, research costs, business trips, office equipment, and administrative supplies have all been provided by dedicated members of our Staff only.

As we wait patiently to receive an adequate amount over time from our donors and private investors interested in funding our listed peacekeeping projects, we will continue to build out our service model.

Adequate funding will allow our Staff to begin implementing several dispatching services in sequential order, according to their service precedence.

Such dispatch coordination will help to initiate a more streamlined process of collaborating with all local and State Law Enforcement upon all 50 States. Such anticipated service functions are merely the beginning of what PKTF has to offer in the realm of perfecting the interfacing process in both directions simultaneously.

Please note:

Although PKTF is a Federation of States peacekeeping service provider to all American State Assemblies, our organization does not rely on dispersements from the Federation simply because PKTF is funded; now and in future service operations by accumulative support from all participating American State Assemblies.

And, although the Federation of States has so graciously offered to help fund PKTF in the past during its humble beginnings, our current PKTF Staff relies solely upon donors, supporters, and status-corrected private investors across all 50 States interested to see our work continue and grow properly.

Likewise, during future operations, PKTF will rely upon the positive momentum of our current, and future service reputation to secure dedicated service contracts from all participating American State Assemblies on an annual basis.

Please consider supporting our work today. We greatly appreciate any amount - as even small donations truly do add up over time!

Or, if you like what you are discovering about our work, and you approve, please share a comment below letting us know you are in favor of the work we are doing so far. Words of encouragement and healthy suggestion are also greatly valued!

Current donation methods to PKTF are only through the use of Cash App.

To Concerned American State Assemblies - Be Advised

 We are developing an exclusive Call-Out of known businesses across the Continental United States known or suspected to be grifting off the status-correction process.

We will work diligently to research those alleged businesses that are not operating in good faith. The reports coming in reflect abuses such as offering to provide automated paperwork processes found to be in error.

In addition to the reported errors, these businesses are found to be soliciting exorbitant prices for such services without providing contact information pointing their clients to their respective American State Assembly for proper recording.

These poor business practices and others will be a part of our ongoing, nationwide exposure campaign highlighting these negative consumer reports as they continue to be gathered.

For information about any alleged status-correction services operating dishonorably, we want to hear from you.

For alleged businesses, in the manner described above supporting the name of The American States Assemblies or claiming to be part of the Federation of States for The United States of America (Unincorporated), please let our offices know.

Thank you, in advance for your participation in helping expose wrongdoing exploited against honest men and women in The United States of America.

The Most Effective Means For Conflict Resolution

 The evening was felt less comforting than it would have been as the sun went over the crystal blue, cloudless horizon for me yesterday.

It was myself, along with a complete roster of The Continental Marshals invited to a special meeting for a particular growing American State Assembly to the south. I must say this meeting was quite unique! However, regardless of the rarity of those having attended, the theme of the cause for the meeting itself was the familiar "Conflict Resolution" issue.

And, I must also say these particular conflicts are largely - similarly internal by nature of the details, and are (almost entirely) the same relative conflict details my team and I have witnessed other Assemblies struggle through, and who have now also arrived at the other end with impressive perseverance!

The genre continues to be an all-too familiar selection among the people. The theme of the scenario is also well known. The stage has been set. The only differences in this occasion, though are the simply location of the altercation and the people involved are - themselves fairly new to the scene.

The remedy, however, for the repeat occurrence of train wreck type drama scenarios is (and will always appear to be) a proper and complete internal conflict cooperative resolution asset service.

A possible abstract depiction of a State-elected Marshal-at-Arms and State Assembly-appointed Ombudsman Service 

If only for the fact that the Federation of States thought it best to have both The Continental Marshals Service and The Peacekeeping Task Force in special attendance to offer help by sharing joint perspectives on the issues - was, indeed an interesting, and uniquely productive opportunity!

This particular Assembly has reported to have been grappling with such issues for a significant amount of time already (perhaps for well over a year). And, although those currently serving within the Assembly does appear to be active and eager to grow their Assembly, they currently lack one or two elements built to help restore harmony amongst mounting issues.

Please meet:

• The State-elected Marshal-at-Arms 

&

• The State Assembly-appointed Ombudsman Service

Without both these service providers; one State-elected to maintain singular loyalty to the State Assembly organization itself.

...and the other (a separate and impartial organization) an Assembly-appointed role built to offer an exclusive environment by effectively intercepting bonified grievances to a proper setting - thereby shielding the General Assembly meeting floor from excess internal issues.

And, of course, this then sets the entire service journey of Conflict Resolution into a very impressive productive motion!

Needless to say, without both internal peacekeepers working in correct tandem to deal with real, or perceived conflict, then this (as well as any other government service structure) will falter, become stagnant, grow bitter towards serving members, accuse others, one to another frequently for any negative progress, and so on.

Regardless of the scenario. Regardless of the Assembly. Regardless of the genuine honesty of the people and caliber of their Citizenry. Without an existing, balanced team of internal Assembly peacemakers geared around providing Conflict Resolution will always - always struggle unnecessarily!

To all other American State Assemblies currently without:

Please consider placing immediate focus on the service role of State-elected Marshal-at-Arms & Assembly-appointed Ombudsman Service.

If there be a learning curve for either, or both service roles, then this is another fine opportunity to exercise self-governance by seeking knowledge and comprehension on how these two service measures work together providing excellent results of resolving most all internal conflicts.

We encourage reaching out to other industry leaders, other successful State Assemblies, as well as the annals of history to find valuable information on how these two Assembly peacemakers work together, and how they are designed to function as a most cohesive unit.

The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) - Assembly Liaison

 Our inboxes have been met with significant interest in seeking more details about the role, while more continue to flow in daily.

The role of PKTF - Assembly Liaison is at the State level yet is provided by way of the Federation of States, through The Peacekeeping Task Force as a perpetual, yearly service opportunity.

This means that, rather than sunsetting (as does the role of State Coordination at the Federation level once each State Assembly qualifies to rejoin the Union of States), the service role of PKTF - Assembly Liaison (an appointed role as a Federation service asset (PKTF)), however, does not sunset.

Much more detail will be provided on the pktfnews.org website as a featured article this month as meeting minutes are recorded. This sub-article, however, is only published to provide exclusive details before all semi, featured, or full-featured articles are published on pktfnews.org. Below are the following main bullet points:

PKTF - Assembly Liaison (current participant State Assemblies)

Enrolled States are highlighted as pink

(as of February 29th, 2024)

• We are hosting scheduled meetings with people from each State Assembly as Liaison education and training to everyone who enrolls. Each meeting is currently scheduled for bi-weekly attendance until midway through the 6 week iterations.
• At the midway point, these meetings will begin transitioning to a weekly schedule. The above map illustrates how many States are currently enrolled in the training.
• The Day Zero (initial training week) is scheduled for this weekend, March 2nd, 2024 and is slated for 1.5 hours each. These meetings facilitate a hard-start and hard-stop approach regarding meeting minutes.
• For our readers who might be interested in joining the initial training week, and especially if you do not see your State highlighted in the image above, please feel free to enroll here > Enrollment.

• There is still time to enroll. Meeting times for all scheduled conferences are on the same day of the week and time (beginning at 7:30 PM Eastern).
• Meeting recordings for all 6 conferences are limited and will not be fully opened to the public at this time. Those who attend each meeting, and are enrolled will receive a replay link as part of their subsequent participation and training materials.

We look forward to, and are expecting to have nearly all, if not the entire 50 American State Assemblies in participation very soon. 

Meetings With the Federation of States and Other State Assemblies

 We will be meeting with the honorable members of the Federation of States soon to continue discussing the various means of achieving the goals required to illustrate proper peacekeeping measures to the world.

As our readers are aware, The Peacekeeping Task Force possesses it's own platform/s designed and dedicated to capturing such interviews and meetings held throughout the offices.

For example, when my staff and I meet we will be discussing with one another many of the details and decision factors that take place during intermediate periods of service production such as during Executive Sessions.

The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) currently maintains virtual meeting spaces where meetings are hosted, held and maintained by the various means and methods of recordings and talking points by minute marks. We maintain numerous, distinctly separate spaces due to the slightly complex nature behind certain projects being developed while each of their component details are discussed. 

Most meetings, workshop discussions, interviews, post interview discussions, brainstorming sessions, Q&A, exclusive podcasts, other in-house meeting sessions specific to various projects etc. all typically last no longer than 90 minutes. Most After Action Review meetings and follow-up staff meetings typically last no longer than 30 minutes and are recorded in most cases.

Our small team has only recently begun building further upon the various different meeting spaces described above. During previously held meetings, we were confined to a much smaller environment where flexibility and variety was sacrificed for overall convenience and familiarity during those (previously relied upon) limited meetings space options.

Now, we have begun branching out in multiple directions where networking, featured broadcasting, demographic reach, overall support, and platform variety are now a significant part of our operating business model.

We are happy to add more clarity and discuss working examples of these types of  meeting tempo during future articles as topics such as these and others like them take on more experience throughout 2024.

Please look for, and expect to find more elaborate articles on this and all other relative topics over on pktfnews.org as new issues and content are added to the site monthly.
