Moving Forward: Why State and County Assemblies Must Grow Together

The State and Their Local Assemblies- Simultaneous, Harmonious, Jurisdictional Existence 


 The growth and standing of both State and County Assemblies is not just a matter of organizational preference—it is a necessity for true self-governance, recognition, and community protection. 

Far too often here recently, confusion, misunderstanding, or convenient non-comprehension leads to unnecessary delays, misplaced priorities, or even the accidental (or possibly intentional) undermining of local or state efforts. It is time to clarify, yet again how these two levels of Assembly development are not only compatible but inseparable.


The Power of Parallel Progress

When people from different counties across a state—whether meeting virtually or in person—work to establish their State Assembly, they are simultaneously supporting their own County Assembly. This is not just a happy accident; it is the very design of the American Assembly process.

State Assembly Standing provides both the lawful and legal diplomatic shield that allows County Assemblies to be recognized, protected, and effective. Without the State Assembly, in this instance, all of its counties are made vulnerable to international exploitation and potential encroachment.


County Assembly activity ensures that local needs, innovations, and realities are represented at the State level, enriching the entire Assembly structure. Without the County Assembly, the truest nature of State Sovereignty is brought firmly into question.


For those people from counties seeking to learn more about how to become a "Model County" is what the Peacekeeping Task Force is working to help provide.

Through the Federation Fiduciary Office - even offering to make ample meeting space to help answer questions is part of what the Resurgence Project is all about.

Interested folks from the various Counties across America actively involved with local Assembly development wanting to get ahead of the curve to help anticipate full State Assembly Standing and County Assembly Standing preparedness is another part of the strategy.


"The two are supposed to be experienced at the same time... as each State Assembly is developed, so too does each of the Counties that have at least one or more status-corrected man or woman who also, themselves participate at the State level especially within committee." — Anna Von Reitz


Addressing Common Concerns & Misunderstandings

No County Should Be Left Behind: Evidence shows that when a County Assembly is ready to stand but the State Assembly is not yet fully formed, there can be a perception that the county is trying to "centralize" or become the potential, interim "State Capitol." This is a  misunderstanding in its current potential. Every county’s progress is a win for the state as a whole, and all counties should be encouraged to participate in State committees, especially when such work involves local growth bringing local experience and needs to the table.


No State Should Stall Local Growth: Conversely, some believe that "State Assembly must come first" (meaning must be fully standing and seated first) before any County Assembly can be recognized.

Not true!

While State Assembly Standing is absolutely essential for official recognition "first," county development, however, does not need to pause. In fact, the Federation has affirmed that both should be growing together, with county participation at the state level being a key indicator of progress.


"The 100% facts remain that when a State Assembly is being developed, so too are ALL the County Assemblies in a position to develop also - from status-corrected people who live upon them—ESPECIALLY if those people from each County ARE participating honorably at the State level, if only by Committee involvement."


Working Together—Not Against Each Other

State-level participants (elected Officers must not forsake their own counties. Everyone serving at the State level as elected Officers should also be extending (at least a small, yet measurable portion of) their efforts locally, ensuring that their own County Assembly is not neglected.


No county should think to grant itself a State Capitol location or try to overshadow other counties or remote State Assembly work . The Assembly process is about collaboration, not competition. Counties with more status-corrected people should share their experience and help to motivate the State Assembly collective work, not attempt to dominate State Assembly business or become the de jure "Capitol" location by default as a matter of manipulated convenience.


Committee work is the bridge. Every State Assembly committee meeting should include updates and outreach from local counties, and every County Assembly should be encouraged to send representatives—even if it’s just one dedicated, lawful and peaceful man or woman.



Simplicity in Action

It is incredibly simple for even a single man or woman in a county to:

Serve as a County Organizer, Peacekeeper, or Recording Secretary.


Participate remotely in State Assembly committees.


Share local successes and needs, and learn from others statewide.


Promote outreach and invite others from their county to join.


No Excuses—Resources and Training Are Available

Any State Assembly that does not yet have a Peacekeeping Task Force - Assembly Liaison (Point of Contact), but is seeking answers to these issues, should know:

Liaison training and committee support have been available since March 2024.


There is little to no excuse for not being more at ease with these processes, as ongoing training and support are available, and have been, and even more still is on the way.


Anyone acting as an American State National at the State level can receive training on how to build both State and County Assemblies side by side, focus on interfacing with Emergency Resource Centers, Offices, and Local Departments with State Assembly Standing being announced first, followed by County Assembly Standing as soon as possible—even if a county has been ready for weeks or months.



Avoiding the Trap of Circumstance

Let’s be clear: Potential exploitation—whether accidental or intentional—can happen when people accidentally, or conveniently misunderstand or misinterpret the process or try to "game" the system. But the solution is always more communication, more committee involvement, and more sharing of local and state progress.

If you’re working at the State level, please keep your own County Assembly moving forward- even nominal contributions will go a long way!


If you’re strong at the County level, participate in State committees and share your experience. Without local demographics analysis, State Assembly development becomes difficult to scale out from border to border.


If you’re alone on your county, you are still the seed of local Assembly growth—reach out, serve where you can, and connect with State committees.


"Counties are stronger together and our common purpose is enshrined... Empowering counties to work together for the betterment of one state is The Recipe for Success."


Moving Ahead—Empowered, Not Victimized

The path forward is quite clear: State and County Assemblies are meant to grow together, side by side, each supporting and strengthening the other with The State Assembly to be announced first Internationally. There is no need to fall prey to circumstance, confusion, or rivalry. With open communication, committee participation, and a shared vision, every county and every state can stand strong—recognized, protected, and empowered.

If you or your Assembly have questions or concerns about how to move forward, remember: training, resources, and support are available. The Federation and its Fiduciary Office have addressed these dynamics many times, and the process is simpler than it may appear.

Let’s continue to build together, honoring both our local roots and our statewide vision—never as victims of circumstance, but as empowered participants in the American Assembly process.

From the Peacekeeping Task Force to All American State Assemblies

"Guide us to where your inner peacekeepers are located in your State Assembly Militia sub-pillar, and we will meet you there."


 A sincere thank you to the 20-31 State Assemblies that have taken serious steps in peacekeeping activism. Your commitment to training, coordination, and progression demonstrates the strength of our shared mission. Yet, the past year has not been all smooth sailing, particularly in the area of communicating with Assemblies that are at varying stages of development. Miscommunication internally and silence have generally been the causes of unnecessary hurdles.

"Communication is King"—without it, there will be delays. PKTF is determined to walk beside each Assembly where they are in the process of assembling and bringing them along.


The Role of the PKTF - Assembly Liaison






The PKTF - Assembly Liaison provides critical services to all American State Assemblies, including:


State Assembly Standing Validation: Ensuring all offices are properly elected, published, and ratified by the Federation.


Peacekeeping and Law Enforcement Interface Advocacy: Helping Assemblies develop rapport with local and national law enforcement agencies.


International Outreach: Expanding the reach and authority of State Assemblies globally.


Emergency Services Maintenance: Providing equipment and training for effective emergency communication and management.


These services are offered at no charge for training in service management within the Peacekeeping Task Force. With participation levels currently ranging between 21-29 members per State Assembly from among the mean of just over 30—and growing monthly—PKTF remains committed to fostering collaboration and success.


The 6 Development Categories of State Assemblies so far


Each Assembly currently falls into one of six categories based on its development stage and growth trend. PKTF strives to meet each Assembly where they are, offering tailored support for their peacekeeping goals.

If you are now, or considering soon correcting your own political birthright status, and are aware of the current condition of your State Assembly, see where yours sits within this list of categories


1. Fully Functional with Major Interim Posts


These Assemblies have:


State Coordinators who have been selected.


An interim Marshal-at-Arms who actively engages with PKTF on State Border Defense systems.


An Ombudsman Service that is seeking training.


A functional or developing Oversight Committee.


PKTF's Role: These Assemblies are well-placed for Standing validation. PKTF provides guidance on conducting valid elections, posting results, and gaining full validation by the Federation. "Just point us to where your internal peacekeepers are, and we will meet you there."


2. Close to Completion but Missing Elections or Specific Roles


These Assemblies are close to completing requirements but are missing:


An interim Assembly Militia Commander or official elections for key roles.


PKTF's Role: PKTF assists these Assemblies with durable concepts and Federation wide updates on all other Assemblies in developing their Assembly Militia sub-pillar which best  prepares them for Standing validation with actionable plans.


3. Missing Ombudsman Service


These Assemblies have all other interim roles filled but lack an Ombudsman Service—a critical component for internal peacekeeping amid conflicts.


PKTF's Role: PKTF focuses on advocating for proper training, as well as surface level education preceding adaquete, certificable training establishing an Ombudsman Service while, themselves assisting greatly in the development of their own Assembly Militia sub-pillar.


4. Lacking Key Roles and Training


These Assemblies have significant gaps, including:


No acting Marshal-at-Arms working with PKTF on fundamental issues such as State Border Defense mechanisms or Assembly Militia build-up.


No Ombudsman Service or Assembly Militia Commander because of a lack of training efforts.


PKTF's Role: PKTF offers initial guidance to establish a legal foundation while prioritizing education and training.


5. Little Coordination but Lacking Core Offices


These Assemblies have a measure of coordination but no:


Interim Marshal-at-Arms or Ombudsman Service actively engaging in peacekeeping or border defense concepts with PKTF.


Assembly Militia sub-pillar.


PKTF's Role: In these cases, PKTF must engage directly with the General Assembly Coordinator as a temporary extension of the Federation when there are no other internal peacekeeping components.


6. Inactive or Unestablished


These Assemblies possess no quantifiable activity:


No identifiable State Marshal-at-Arms engaging in concepts of border defense or militia formation.


No Ombudsman Service, Assembly Militia sub-pillar, or available State Coordinators.


No internet presence or other evidence of organization.


PKTF's Role: As a last resort, PKTF contacts any available coordinator to encourage first steps toward lawful organization.


The Challenge of Engagement


In some rare cases periodically during 2024 situations, interim Marshals-at-Arms have, for some strange reason, and with no viable reason to do so, had chosen NOT to engage with PKTF on valuable discussions related to State Border Defense mechanisms or how their citizens could achieve this vital peacekeeping task through the Assembly Militia sub-pillar. As bizarre as that might sound when spoken by many of our readers, this was a true occurrence during 2024. Needless to say, this gross lack of engagement - decided by the one of two internal Assembly peacekeepers chose not to promote peaceful interaction which has significantly slowed growth in those certain States where these conversations are essential to advancing safety advocacy and organizational development.


The Importance of Communication



The pinnacle of PKTF’s services is built upon ensuring safety, maintaining open dialogue about safety protocols, and being well-organized in the event of an emergency. Without effective communication skills, all Assemblies risk unnecessary delays in their development process.


To all Assemblies: take this opportunity to further your cause for state sovereignty and peacekeeping. Together, we can ensure all Assemblies possess the tools they need to succeed!

PKTF State Assembly Validation: Navigating Governance, Sovereignty, and Local Community Empowerment

 The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) is dedicated to supporting lawful and peaceful governance through the validation of State Assemblies under the Federation of States' framework.

This article provides clarity on PKTF's role, emphasizing collaboration with State Marshal-at-Arms, individuals interested in becoming PKTF - Assembly LiaisonsState-elected Militia Commanders, and County Coordinators (also known as County Organizers).

Key Clarifications and Opportunities


State-Level Validation Focus:
PKTF exclusively validates State Assemblies, focusing on their Assembly Militia sub-pillars to ensure proper State Border Defense and internal jurisdictional integrity. County Assemblies, while recognized for their local governance efforts, are not validated by PKTF until their State Assembly achieves official standing.


County Assembly Collaboration:
PKTF engages with County Coordinators to ensure alignment with state-level governance. PKTF (State) - Assembly Liaisons are tasked with vouching for County Reeves and Deputy Continental Marshals, as well as confirming the presence of County Community Assembly Leadership. These observations are reported to the State Assembly Provisions Committee, ensuring that County Assemblies are accounted for without overstepping PKTF’s limited contact and validation authority at the county level.


Rare Scenarios for Immediate Engagement:
If your State Assembly’s elected officers physically live within a single County and have developed through proper due process, PKTF encourages immediate outreach. This rare scenario presents unique demographic and geographic opportunities, making such a State Assembly particularly significant for potential validation.


Assembly Militia Development:
PKTF supports State Assemblies in establishing or strengthening their militia structures. Validation focuses on assessing Community Safety Scope and Purpose as part of the broader goal of achieving full standing for the State Assembly.


Engagement Pathways:

State Marshal-at-Arms or interim officials are encouraged to collaborate with PKTF for potential liaison training and Militia development recommendations to an available, status-corrected man or woman from your own State.


If you currently have a State-elected or interim Marshal-at-Arms, then your State Assembly is in great shape for taking on a PKTF - Assembly Liaison!


Individuals interested in becoming PKTF - Assembly Liaisons can play a vital role in connecting PKTF with their State Assemblies.


County Coordinators are invited to work closely with PKTF through their respective State Assembly Liaison to ensure alignment with state-level peacekeeping efforts.


Local Liaison Training:
While PKTF does not provide local Liaison training or interface services at this time due to its current charter, it recognizes each County Assembly peacekeeper and actively engages Law Enforcement counterparts through the State-level Assembly Militia Command sub-pillar.


Path to Worldwide Recognition:
Once a State Assembly achieves official standing (with all four pillars chaired and published office holders), it is positioned for "Seatment" and global recognition. At this stage, validated State Assemblies can sponsor County Assemblies within their jurisdiction.


Call to Action:
If your State Assembly is progressing toward official standing or developing its militia sub-pillar, contact your Marshal-at-Arms or interim liaison to explore how PKTF can assist in achieving validation. For rare cases where State-elected officers live upon one County, provide details to PKTF immediately for tailored outreach recommendations.


By focusing on state-level jurisdiction and validation while collaborating with County Coordinators, PKTF reinforces the principles of American self-governance and supports lawful assembly restoration efforts across the nation.
