Local Free Press Journalism: The Cornerstone of Honest Governance, Land Rights, and County–State Assembly Cooperation
You’ve probably noticed it: local newspapers are closing down, one after another. Taylorsville lost The Spencer Magnet not long ago, and many counties see their trusted news sources disappearing like dust in the wind. This isn’t just about missing headlines. It’s about losing the eyes and ears that keep governments honest. It’s about losing the connection between the people and the law that’s supposed to serve them.
Our local and State Assemblies are supposed to represent Sovereign Americans — the American State Nationals and American State Citizens who live, breathe, and work on this land and soil. But without honest local journalism rooted in these very soils and lawful jurisdictions, governance becomes invisible. Municipal law enforcement can’t even tell if real local government exists in the areas they patrol. They lose sight of who truly lives here — beyond U.S. Citizens tied to federal systems, but the Sovereign Americans, rightful holders of authority in a republican form of government.
When the Watchers Disappear, How Can Law Enforcement Know Whom to Serve?
It’s simple: they can’t. Without a local American Free Press reporting honestly and showing where lawful governance operates, sheriffs and officers patrol unaware of the real political landscape. They answer to corporate municipal codes, often unaware that many Sovereign Americans remain uncounted or forgotten — living as native sons and daughters of the land, not as mere subjects of a federal corporation.
That’s why we must rebuild a trustworthy working relationship with the elected Municipal sheriff — the de facto Law Enforcement, alongside the de jure guardian protector of our counties which is the County Reeve (Soil Jurisdiction Sheriff). As do both, their duties run deepest to the people on the land, not simply those under federal jurisdiction. To do this, the American people have to step into the light themselves.
We need to tell our stories, report the full truth of all such realities, and bring to attention what matters — not just for us but for our neighbors. This isn’t just reporting; it’s reclaiming the narrative, the rightful authority, and the future.
Local and State Assemblies: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Here’s something worth considering — the local County Assembly and the American State Assembly are distinct authorities, but they are tied together in a natural, complementary way. When local communities shine light on the workings of both, a fuller picture emerges, and governance can be better comprehended and supported.
Take this small Substack newsletter as an example. It lends its reporting on the existence of both county and state-level governance, showing how local efforts contribute to the bigger whole. Imagine many more communities doing this, producing newsworthy, relevant content about their State Assembly while spotlighting their own County Assembly’s role. It’s a simple, powerful way to ensure no authority operates in the shadows — both bodies seen, respected, and held accountable.
Land and Soil Jurisdiction: The Foundation We Stand On
Land means more than property lines or Municipal, corporate addresses. It is the jurisdictional foundation — the bedrock of lawful government. Protecting the land and soil we live on means safeguarding the boundaries that define who governs and how authority flows.
Group ideas like the American County Free Press call attention to these truths, warning us when private contracts or Municipal agendas move forward without transparency. Surveillance technology deals or other large projects can quietly slip through when we’re not watching, weakening our county’s lawful Soil Jurisdiction.
Knowledge Is Power — And We Have Resources
If you want to learn more about your rights as a Sovereign American or discover how lawful governance functions apart from corporate and federal systems, take some time to explore:

These sites have rich, practical information that helps the American people reclaim their place within a republican form of government — a government of, by, and for the people, grounded in the land and soil we call home.
A Call to Action — Together, We Can Bring Back What Was Lost
This is more than a call for news stories. It’s a call to rekindle our attention, to shine light into corners darkened by absence of reporting. It’s a call to build bridges with all sheriffs and local officials, to make sure every voice matters, and every lawful authority is acknowledged.
The future depends on us. When American State Nationals and American State Citizens take ownership of their stories and governance, when local news work blooms again like a spring after a long winter, our counties will no longer be blind spots. Transparency will flourish. The republican form of government guaranteed to the American people will no longer be just words on paper but a living, breathing reality.
We all hold a pen in our hand — the pen of the free press. Together, let’s write the chapters our counties deserve.
